Comments : Straight as Could Be

  • 13 years ago

    by Courageous Dreamer

    I like how you keep what you're going to tell us, about how you feel, sort of a mystery though by the category of the poem you can easily figure it out.

    A simple poem with a simple concept, expressing how you feel without sugar coating it and showing that you don't need a metaphor to show it but rather telling it straight up how it is. I think the sadness of being lonesome hits the reader so much harder than you'd think because you build up that anticipation with the reader throughout the whole poem, you make them curious as to what you have to say then you hit us hard with emotion. It worked well.

    Just wanted to point a few other things out -

    'Really it's all just a one fact with endles
    theories...and translators.'
    ^I feel this line would read better without 'a' and 'endles' should be 'endless.

    I swear I've commented on this but it doesn't show I have. Woops!

    If I could sum this up in one word, it would be suspenseful. You keep us leading to your final line with sadness and drama, and it kept me intrigued. I had to keep reading as I couldn't wait to figure out the real emotion behind the poem, that you had been leading to the whole time.

    I think the best stanza out of them all would be the first, I love the idea of the metaphor being a color to aforementioned feelings.

    I have nothing to critique here, this was a very personal insight into loneliness, dripping with sadness. Beautifully crafted. :)

    The word choice in this poem is EPIC Nana !!

    I loved those lines so much ..

    What else would a metaphor
    do, except for adding a color
    for an art of emotions
    previously crafted.

    OMG!! amaaaaazing ..

    The flow was great throughout the poem :)

    Not only this write, Nana...

    I believe... that your every single write is straight from your heart, and I found even this write really poetic in a dramatic and sad way, I found it special for you described what you feel directly without complications or so, and I was truly feeling bad that I didn't read this until now, because it is one of those very few poems that leave you speechless, amazed and inspired. I too love the flow, simple and soft, the stanzas didn't break, at all. The title was VERY subtle, you know what I mean, I mean it wasthe title that caught my attention, and it left me wondering as well.
    I agree with Temps, you should fix them ;)

    What else would a metaphor
    do, except for adding a color

    I think you should put a question mark, in the end? and yeah, sometimes metaphors mar the pureness of our emotions, even if they are subtle or strong, but still the true feelings are more powerful, at least, in my humble opinion. :)

    What else would a poem do,
    except for showing that I am
    not fine-no I am not happy.
    To tell you simply how I feel deep inside.
    ^^
    why putting the full stop after "happy"?
    and add a space after "fine" :)

    and here I must say you nailed a masterpiece! nd I'm going to continue reading all of your new poems for they seem magnificent like tis one :)

    Really it's all just
    one fact with endless
    theories...and translators.
    ^^

    my favorite part, Reno, my favorite part...

    So here you go, straight
    as it is, with less sweetening spells
    (I am too lonesome).

    the ending was such a perfect one for such a fantastic piece of art...endlessly wonderful, babe, keep writing!

    God bless you! :)
