Comments : The me you claim to know...

  • Woah, nice work. i really like this part about the clay and sculptor in the middle stanza....:

    " I morph like the clay,
    In the hands of a sculptor,
    Who doesnt know what to make,
    Who to please,
    So he remakes his piece,
    To please his every audience..."

    good write.

    I liike! it's so different than all of your other poems.. one thing that didn't seem up-to-par with your other poems was the flow.. there were a couple spots where I stumbled a little but it's little, nitpicky things. I think your content was awesome and the format(or lackthereof) was perfect for this piece. I'll just go from here...

    And if I could,
    I wouldnt be here with me either,

    [if i could] - that makes it sound weird because u were talking about NOT doing something (being with you) and then you switch it up to if i could.. I'd say use couldn't so that it'd all match up, but that wouldn't really fit either.. hmm..

    There are several me's,
    For everyone I know,

    the apostrophe makes the meaning clearer; mes is not a word used too often and for me was a little confusing without it..

    ok.. onto more substantial comments..

    I morph like the clay,
    In -[the] hands of a sculptor,
    Who doesnt know what to make,
    Who to please,
    So he remakes his piece,
    To please his every audience,

    I really like the message behind this. I think all you need is to maybe cut out a few words that are just 'there' and add more ideas to play on the concept of you, ever- changing. I put brackets around the words that I thought didn't contribute much to the overall quality..

    Also, these lines talk about a sculptor.. I like the imagery (but still think it could use more "hands-on" imagery, especially for such a piece. Last line,.. I like it but I think it could be more poignant..

    appeasing his every audience
    with a malleable disposition.

    That second line, I just added in to elaborate on more of what I was talking about. Doubtfully will you use the example, but hopefully you get what I'm saying..

    Anyway.. I liked the last stanza, though the least of all three.. I like what you're saying but it seems like it's too hectic or chaotic - jumpy - for me.. I loved the overall conclusion th0,.. Basically I think this is a really good poem, and like I said before: If you took some time, I think it could be that much more of an awesome poem.. good stuff as always.. pZ out =O)
