 Sambot 2007-05-30 . chapter 1Nice sentiment. I'm sure a lot of us can relate. I thought your use of 'an' in "You are happy in an/empty life of..." was awkward because of the line break, even though it is correct grammar. I also thought "...smarter than most/of the people to..." was a little awkward because of the line break. Does the poem originally have any indentations or tabs that would change it's reading? Overall I like the poem, though maybe not as much as the rest of your work, which is usually excellent. |
 i am pookie 2006-07-24 . chapter 1Alright. I love this poem because I can relate.
Working in a resturante you're nothing but a mechanical person with no feelings for how badly some treat you.
I love the line: "I am young, pretty and smarter than most/ of the people to grace my presence" because even if that's true they don't notice it because you are serving them and therefore can't be good enough.
I've noticed it--it ** me off.
But one thing I would just like to have a civil debate about is (and you probably already know this) not all rich people are arrogant snobs. Actually, sometimes I find them much more cooperative and helpful than the middle class or poorer.
Great poem, all in all. |
