WOW. this is not what I expected, but I really love it!

I think the flow and your interesting use of figurative language really captures the reader in this piece.

Great work =]

Hey! Just wanted to let you know I come from this random other writing site and one of the poems that people were interested in had been this poem. You were ranked as one of the higher poets and I figured I might as well share some of the views people had about it.

-This poem has ten billion times more character/voice, but as a general rule I rebel (not consciously) against poems that are all I AM WRITER! you know? The images are fleeting and appear only as an accent to the passing ideas as opposed to adding their own impact on the text which is what description should do - it's not just a tool, nothing in poetry is just a tool, and when images come through like this, kinda like the way simile is used in most writing (lol), it breaks the piece up into little pieces rather than creating a whole. With a bit more of a considered effort, this poem could be a much better piece than the first.

-The dryness of the imagery in the second one ruins it for me. I'm not a big fan of the show - don't tell motif, but this is just too much tell. If a writer wants to be this straightforward, they ought too write a textbook. This poet does a good job of getting his/her point across, but doesn't do a good enough job of making this an emotional event, as it ought to be.

-Does a good job of making its point clear, but doesn't offer enough of an emotional draw to make me care.

Sorry if they sound a bit rough, but people did like it. Keep up your poetry, amigo.

For a poem about not writing its quite long... lol... I really love the beginning personification of a muse... awesome piece

It's sweet. Usually I find poems that have been written about writing poems to be overdone. I've seen pieces like this, not as well written, I don't think. It's cute nonetheless, I'm pretty sure any writer can relate to it. Thanks for sharing,

i love all the contradictions you've peppered throughout the piece.
this is mountains better than a cliche 'writers block' poem;
you really went into what the author compromises just by putting letters in forms on paper and attempting to be moved by it.
and the creative imagery and metaphors you tied in to relate that compromise with the history of people.
sweet job.

We all have days like these. Keep it Up!

when i first read the title, i was like, "hmm...that's a little ironic..." but now i understand what you meant. i love your use of figurative language. good work. keep writing. = )
