Comments : Should A poem Be Judged?

    Ok first of all "Does explicit poems make you gag"... i think you meant "Do explicit poems make you gag"......

    "There are poems that are stories
    There are poems just of thoughts
    Then many are of emotions
    That dwell beneath our hearts"

    "No matter if it rhymes or not
    Imagination is it's thing
    Weaving trails of delicate words
    A poem can be anything"

    those are my favorite lines in this poem. They are very deep and very very true. I love them.

    I dont understand why you put a question mark after ONE line... but not any of the other ones... is this a technique, or just an accident? Anyways... your a very very talented writer and this poem is true on a level. I really liked it -Jen-

    PS. check out a few of my poems sometime... preferiably the ones with less comments/rates. thanks :)

    No offence but anybody who does not like your poems is, in my book, an idiot. Your words though flowery are perfect poetry words. And your topics are deep that it seemed impossible that being too deep on a topic might be a reason not to win anything. As for suicide stories, I really don't like them myself because most here seem to rant, but if someone can make a beautifully written story even on a topic like that they I don't think the topic should really be counted for anything. The story should. Anyway.

    Why aren't you published!? I;m always in awe of your poems even one as simple as simple as this. You not only touch on the topic but make readers sometimes take your messages to heart. Your descriptions are one of a kind like seeing a beautiful picture in a musuem (Really!) and how nobody can admire them is beyond me.

    Yep. I liked this. The message you had behind it about the different kind of poetry being judged badly was good. And its a shame those judges didn't accept your poetry, Just by reading this piece you sound really good. Keep up the awesome work, And keep writing what you want to write!! 5/5

    Great peice, it has a good message behind it. the topic and ability to rhyme are not the most imporant aspects of a peice but far too many people seem to think that they are.

    "There are poems that are stories
    There are poems just of thoughts
    Then many are of emotions
    That dwell beneath our hearts"

    that stanza is by far my faviorate, it just sems to sum up the whole peice very well and has realy power and meaning behind it as well as flowing perfectly.

    5/5
