    Yes I thought so.

    As good as i'd hoped if not better, what a wonderful piece. It made me smile and yet I felt incredibly small reading it, like i'd lost something important.

    I love it,

    Hm.. Well that just confused me. Very worthless. The poem ment absolutely nothing. And the words in your poem are too scientific.. Yes i understand about picking more intelligent vocabulary.. But not too much.. like cuticle?.. I mean you can use nail.. why use scientific terms? words in a poem are supposed to be beautiful.. and i think you took it a little too far.
    All in all.. Yeah looks like you through a bunch of words together in like 2 minutes.. Plus your comment on my poem about being cliche? that was irrational.. taken to the fact that it was true.... i'm not writing it because other people like to write it.. all my poems have truth about them.. you write how you feel.. they don't have to be lying unique, just because people write about the same subject.. Yes criticism is good.. but the criticism you gave was simply useless and untrue.. you didnt help me whatsoever.. it seemed like you TRIED to find something. But all in all yeah..

    Lol thanks Seth.
    I was only honest, as I am in every critique. I'm sorry you took offense to it.
    Criticism can be a shock to the "poets" ego, I'll refrain from shocking yours in future if you're going to react just so.

    To clarify, the "cuticle" is the SKIN around the base of the nail, not the actual nail....Nevertheless, I respect your opinion.

  • OK...that was extemelly strange...i like the uniqueness (sorry if that's spelled wrong) but i'm at a loss as to whether you were just talking about it or it had a underlying meaning...wait i just reread it...maybe i understand a lil...it's growing on me...it's a good poem just a lil confusing.

    Wow. this was great. I sat with my fingers up against my palm. Just absorbing your writing, understanding it all. The paratheses at the end gave it a great effect.

    nice write yet again.

    Brilliant.
    I hope you won't mind me making a comparison with your piece to general beliefs about life and God, because I’m having the wackiest brainwave. You've delivered an intriguing message through a particularly unique style of writing. Life is in our control, we do as we please, when we please. Though, no matter how many times we may bring ourselves to the edge, or on that matter, closer to death, God holds us back. You've presented an image of how gravity 'forbids' the button from falling, and insist it is '(Almost) still'- pretty much how we as people are like after God puts us back on track.

    I don't know why this idea sprung to mind, though you have without a doubt written a profound piece which deserves applause. Well done.
