Between the first and second stanza it seems like an emotional shift...what caused it? Like the reverse verb in the 2nd Stanza, very Yoda like. The second Please no I try, is either spelled or puncuated wrongly. This is touching, especially to know who it is about, which I DO KNOW! Overall your getting much better Paco. Also your advice isn't as bad as you think.| | Posted on 2006-01-04 00:00:00 | by Mr.Mentor | [ Reply to This ] | Pascual, | I think this poem is choppy and lacks any emotion. The redundancy of the poem is intended to create an effect, but instead the poem gets very flat by the third stanza. This poem didn't really evoke any feelings thought the situation is very common. I think this piece could be developed into a decent poem but it is far too simple to make it interesting. Nice try. | Posted on 2005-12-12 00:00:00 | by BloodStainedLet | [ Reply to This ] | This poem brought tears to my eyes, it really did. I can really, really relate to this poem, so much that it's scary, lol. This is one of my favorite favorites, lol. Great write! | | Posted on 2005-12-08 00:00:00 | by Toxic_Rayne | [ Reply to This ] | I have a friend at work that is going through some very difficult times and I feel like that when I talk to him or try to help - I don't know that there is anything right now that will help him feel better and there's nothing I can do about that. | It does suck but when they are ready they will be helped and you try and that's all one can do.

It just feels long and drawn out, maybe if you cut it down a bit and made it tighter, short and sweet kindathing, it might help. | Peace Out | Posted on 2005-12-08 00:00:00 | by childs | [ Reply to This ] | This piece was too literal for me.
