 verticalpoint 2006-05-31 . chapter 1Lovely use of a simile to address a common object found in school as well as ordinary society. It's also very useful to look upon yourself after critiquing others, definitely a strong point in this poem that teaches a valuable lesson. Original work, and one of my favorites. |
 myheartwantsyou 2006-05-31 . chapter 1it's a great poem, i know the feeling of trying not to be like everyone else, it's hard. |
 Plastic Roses Never Die 2006-05-30 . chapter 1YES. You are so right. This is really good. We are all just conformists and we're all really the same. Pretty ** depressing once you begin to think about it. Thanks for making me sad! just kidding, nice poem. |
 Pseudonym for Zachary 2006-05-27 . chapter 1Good topic - conformity. It takes some courage to tell the truth, and it takes some individuality to comment and critique the world. Good job.

 Countess Chocula 2006-05-27 . chapter 1This was very well written and very true. Lots of poems are written about how everyone at school looks/acts/is the same, but very few poems touch on the fact that the subgroups that laugh at them are just the same as their friends.
My only critique would be that sometimes the rhyming seems a little forced, but other than that, great job!! |
 Mikki Amboree 2006-05-26 . chapter 1I liked this poem. It is very true. I completely agree with it's message.
Not to advertise, but it's like I wrote in my poem Same Difference.
People try/want to be different, but no matter what, we're still all alike. I could go on, but this is a review, not my online journal. xD
Very good job. ^__^ |
