Comments : Born out of Balance

    by The Prince

    I love how communicative and immediate your poetry is.

    'Don't want to be held tightly or over kissed
    Some jabber angrily while shaking a fist'

    This was really powerful.

    I've no time to comment properly unfortunately, but I loved reading this, the rhyme wasnt forced and I liked the flow.

    'Ask me a question that requires general to specific
    I will read everything I can find and write very prolific '

    For me 'very' spoils the end here, it just makes prolific sound forced. It's a shame cause without it, I don't think it would sound forced at all.

    Good write though!
    Loved the message and meaning behind this. Very honest poem.

    Hmm, definitely a topic I have never read a poem about. I thought you did a pretty good job describing everything that people like that have to go through. It's really sad that people have to live like that..

    Really nice poem.

    Keep writing.

    Excellent poem. I really liked it. Isn't it about Aspergers?(sp)
    I liked the flow and rhyme scheme. I am a punctuation nut, so the lack of punctuation bothered me, but I could tolarate it. The title fit the poem well.

    Wow. The title stuck out to me first of all, its different. Not something you'd expect to read but a topic with great signifigence. I liked that.

    Its a topic that means a lot to me, so every line had such depth.

    [Minds occupied with a subject until it gets its fill
    What we got is a failure to communicate with skill]

    I really loved this line, It shows great insight.
    The person suffering may find it as a failure, being different. But in some ways it can be a blessing, it eliminates some human errors that can get in the way.

    I like how you can still keep the flow perfect, perfect rhythm while having informative stanzas.

    I haven't read anything in a long time, and I'm happy this was my first one. Overall it made me think, and I love that about poems. It wasn't the typical poem I've been finding on this site for a long time. It was different.
    Well done. (:

    Wonderful write Michael. The flow was flawless as well as the overall structure. Keep up the fantastic pieces of work. As I tend to tell a majority of people, I would've liked to see some punctuation within, but overall it was well written. Keep up the great work.

    Peace, Joe

    Overall, an alright poem. The first stanza I thought was quite terrible, and it seemed to lack much emotion. But I enjoyed its originality and flow.

    Peace and prosperity,

    Wow I was really drawn in by this poem. I think it's well crafted. I can see your words of wisdom and your thoughts on general issues.

    Ask me a question that requires general to specific
    I will read everything I can find and write prolific

    ^^^ The ending here was superb. I like the idea that you'll read up on all sources and make your own judgment

    Overall the poem has a great sense in it and not forgetting it also has a great flow.

    Excellent Job
    5/5 from me

    Wonderful write Mike. The flow and rhythm was excellent. I also liked your rhymes. Personally not sure why this is in Misc. it should be under the sad or life category since it is dealing with a sad life changing event.

    Overall wonderful write, keep up the great work. Only thing I would really want to see is punctuation throughout.

    Peace, Joe

    I like everything except the last stanza. The rest of the flow is fine but the last stanza doesn't seem to be working for me.

    Tehehe this poem made me chuckle some :) it was unique if you ask me!!! i liked the wording and the flow was definitely there!!! i think anyone who reads this will find a way to relate because i mean let's admit it, we are all born a little out of balance in one way or another!! i like how you explored different possibilities and views it was the right angle to approach this subject at!

    Overall, i wouldn't tell you to change anything maybe just add some punctuation to make it feel official!
