Reviews For: What My Swimsuit Taught Me About Being Perfect
Dot Cubed 2008-06-30 . chapter 1
So I really really like the beginning of this. I love the image of the swimsuit and it being stiff, because she hasn't worn it in awhile. It leaves me wondering, you know, why not? And I really really love the second stanza too.

I don't know, I think the ending could be developed a bit more. It's weird to say developed with a poem, but I just sort of feel like it could be expanded on. It seems unfinished, in a way/

First, I really like the title of this one. Moving on.
My favorite line is the one about fond gazes - I can just picture this and connect with it.
All in all, I think this one is once of your best poems, Amber. It has everything - it comes alive with the way you phrased things and what you said and what you left out, it is, essentially, a feeling that girls (if not anyone at all) can connect with at any time, and I think the language you used works well. It's sort of casual and that works here.

Lost memories...this particular poem made me think about going back to something of my childhood and trying to accomplish the task awkwardly...and then failing.

It's like a faded dream. Well done!

Haha, oh how I can relate to this...

"Remember diving into azure waters, illuminated only
by the Californian moon?"
- ^ That was my favorite line, if I had to pick one out, but the whole poem together paints a very real picture that I think all girls (of all ages) could relate to at some point in their life.

Keep writing!

This is similar to what I had been doing the night before. It's similar to me actually.

Except for the fact that I have extremely curly, not flat hair.
But I do wish I had straight hair quite often.

Oh the insecurities that come with being a teenager.
Ho hum.

But great poem! It's especially great when your readers can connect to it.
