I've never crossed something like this in my life. It was so rhythmic and put-together. Fun, yet heartfelt. That was an incredible read. Extraordinarily well-written. Your lines are so clever and original.

Oh, this is lovely. Just some capitalization errors, ditto with punctuation, but overall this is wonderful. Your line breaks are great though--they contribute a lot to the poem. The preceding lines almost seem to contradict the previous ones and, in the end, contribute to them. Also, "backward" should be "backwards" correct? And there should be a comma after it :)

i LOVE the rhythm of this poem! i was bopping my head while i read it :) well done. one thing though, in the third stanza "Human contact makes me nervous", i think if you take out the word 'human' then the line flows better. just a thought. i love the bit about trolls. so cute!

I like the repetition. It sounds witty and fun. It gives a good rhyme pattern.

I /love/ all the contradictions in this. After each thought, you have a contrast and I love it. This poem was interesing to read because of that.

And I like the mention of "trolls" for the reason it gives a fantasy feel to this. And the lines:

And when the clouds start crying
At least it isn’t snow

Those lines have a wonderful easy-going feel to them. That goes well with the repeated themes.

And I liked the ending. "I think about it often but I never test my luck." It's peculiar in comparison to the rest of the lines. But that's why I like it.

Interesting. I liked how you used an everyday concept, a sign we see so often, but don't think about until that time comes when we're without that extra cent. You didn't exactly interpret it the way I might have, but I liked where you went. Your rhyming was both humorous and interesting, magical as well real in a cutting way. It was good. I particularly liked the part about the troll, as well as comparing rain and snow to bad and worse. Good job.

This is a beautiful poem. I also like the rhyming techniques.

i really liked this. it was kinda random, but i liked it anyways because the rhyming was done well. i especially enjoyed the first four lines of the second stanza. keep writing! :)
