Message the answers? I think not.

1. No.
2. Read a dictionary.
3. Read love poetry. REAL love poetry.
4. Without punctuation, your poetry is a lost cause.

1. When I was fourteen people took my writing seriously. I wasn't looked down as being a little kid. I should have been though. Being 14 you still are a child.

2. Read that is what I did.

3. Expand on ideas. When I was fourteen I stayed away from cliche or twisted it into a new pespective. Though I again should have been told I was immature. Sometimes it can be a good thing--means people see you as your age.

1. Depends on your maturity for you, not based by age

2. Write more and look in the thesaurus. Bask in the dictionary and love the words you use. Use what you know, not what you don't. The words will usually come to you as you get older and wiser.

3. You have to be older and more experienced in the area OF love in order to get a better understanding of love. Love isn't just kisses and sex. Most of teenage love poems are just .... robotic. Just, try and improve. Also, use your imagination.

4. I don't like grammar either. Umm... technically, it is a problem, but one i ignore and let people decide whether grammar matters in a well written poem or whether the meaning will affect them more.

Also, Kaila.
I believe that in the future, you should actually READ poems you comment on.

People who leave comments like "good poem 5/5" are looked down upon as lazy people, whether or not they are taking the time to comment on the poem in the first place.

Your comments are SCREAMING for attention, dear, and i could see that you never read ONE WORD of any of my poems that you commented on. If you leave a comment, make sure that you read the poem. I am not putting you down, just trying to help you mature. The ammount of comments you make mean nothing if you don't leave good comments.

Not sure if this will help, but perhaps it will. This has been posted in other topics, but here it is.

Greetings,
Not sure if this will help (there are so many topics on individual topics posted elsewhere, but I believe this is the most broad and inclusive) it's quite lengthy but it covers a variety of topics and has input from many P&Q members. It is not meant to tell you how to write, but to be a place of reference/help/advice to others-a place where many of the questions put forth repeatedly in these forumns is addressed, mainly to offer suggestions on writer's block (tips/exercises to break it. Inspiration, ideas, etc.), exercises to spur creativity (whether form, style, type of poem, content, etc.-just some stuff to try when blocked or to try something different), various poetic terms/definitions, a variety of basic stuff and technical stuff, submissions and poetry markets (where/how to submit your work). So hopefully there is something here for everyone. Worth sifting through(I hope). I would also appreciate any comments-whether opinions or advice (personal or technical), your own personal writing habits, etc.

Thank you it's helped me a lot I guess I try to rush poems because I wanted a lot of poetry on here now I know I only write great poems when I'm feeling a strong emotion because I'm not an adult yet...I will read daily love poems and try to find new synanyms and what not. thank you so much!

Kaila. I have my doubts that you read ouR comments. I read them myself and i don't think that one person said your poems seem to rushed. I am glad you figured that out yourself though... But i think you should try to work harder at something than to do a lot of it half-heartedly. I seem like a real pushover i guess but i think you don't understand what we all are saying... Well if that made any sense at all, you are one step farther than me

Sorry for rambling i am typing on my cell phone and i often ramble on... Lol i have a knack for that you know lol.

hehe yes I know I did take your advice and I wrote a new poem I did make up that rushing thing on my own when I wrote this new poem I had Merriam Webster online minimized down below and I just really like it all of you have helped me alot

okay,
1. NO WAY! believe me, im 13
2. read books, other poems, anything you can find
3. i don't really know the answer to this.
4. try to use punctuation, cause it really does make your poems alot better.
sry, i don't know if that really helped or not.
;p

Ok thx again I've written 3 after your advice so thx

Well..well you know do want you want..be yourself
