I really like it! The rhyme and rhythm are really good, and I love the subject of the poem. 🙂 Keep up the great work!

@Corissa-maiden-of-praise
I’m the same way, except leaning more toward an introvert! Some days I really want to socialize and have fun socializing and other days I just want to sit in my room and read. 😛 So I guess I’m an extroverted introvert. 🙂

@zcpeterson
Well hello and welcome (officially) to the bestistest place on the internet! 🙂 What are some of your favorite books? POETRY! Yes. I like poetry. 🙂 I think I remember one of your poems that was posted on the website. It was a really good poem, I remember. 🙂
@kate-flournoy Congratulations on your fantabulous word masterpiece.…[Read more]

*best creepy Cheshire cat grin* Oh, you can’t help that. We’re all mad here.

@Overcomer *hem* @Dragon-Snapper is a she. 😛
My summer… eh… it went okay. I never did get around to the Snow White novella, and I’m still editing my WIP… but I’m actually pretty happy with what I’ve accomplished, especially considering summer is the busiest time of year for our family. I’m confident that my WIP is actually going to be…[Read more]

On second thought, @ZCPeterson, the last line would probably be better as
The realms He holds safe in the palms of His hands. 🙂

@ZCPeterson welcome! Another poet! We can always use more poets around here. The world can never have enough of poetry. 😉
And don’t worry; most of the forumers were stalkers long before they ever actually got involved. *winks* I think that’s because most writers are introverts. *grins*
So glad to be able to welcome you to the… uh… um… the…[Read more]

@zcpeterson first of all, I really love this poem. I love the idea of building a poem off a piece of scripture, and you executed it very well. I may have to try this… 😀

The only thing that really needs work is what @Daeus said about the meter. For instance, take the first verse:

Who among you can number the stars
Who can count every small…

@Anne-of-Lothlorien…
*ahem* First of all, your quote should have been:
‘”It’s an assonance.”
“What’s an…”
“Oh for pity’s sake don’t ask him what an ass-y-thingamy is! He’s only longing to be asked. Say nothing and perhaps he’ll go away.”‘

And then…
‘Most boys at this would have either flared up or gone out, but Eustace did neither. He just…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien I’m seventeen and my birthday is March 24. 😀

@anne-swiftblade *comes in very late* Hope you had a fantastic birthday! I apologize I didn’t make it to the party before the ice cream melted. Happiest of Birthday’s non the less!

Did someone say “ACTING?” I’m here. Hi. *waves* *grins*
I LOVE ACTING SO MUCH! It’s the best thing since writing. 😉
I’m currently in “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” (have you read the book? It’s amazing!), and it’s been so much fun! I do community theater. 🙂 Some of my favorite plays I’ve been in are Anne of Green Gables, A Christmas…[Read more]

@Alia
Very nice. I like it.
One quick thing…

If God keeps His eyes on the fallen of the world,
What right does the world have to say “No consequence”

The last line doesn’t really flow well, so maybe write something like, “How can the world say ‘No consequence,'” instead. I don’t know; it’s your poem. 😉
I really like it, though. The rep…[Read more]

@anne-swiftblade YESSSSS!!! Cake and ice cream! *runs over* *steals cake* *runs off*

@anne-swiftblade YASSSSS!!! Cake and ice cream! *runs over* *steals cake* *runs off*

@anne-of-lothlorien
I’m sixteen, and my birthday is August 24. 🙂

@bluejay
OK. Sorry…I haven’t had time to reply yet. But poetry experimentation is so much fun, so I couldn’t miss out on this topic. 😉
Anyway, sonnets are a lot of fun but pretty hard because of the meter (I’ve only written an “almost sonnet” before). There are two types of sonnets, each containing 14 lines: the English (or Shakespearean…[Read more]

@overcomer
No problem! Glad I could help. 🙂

I don’t want to make it too uniform because I want it to meander like the inner thoughts it’s supposed to reflect.

Oh, I see. That’s a really good idea. 😉 Hard to strike that balance, though, I’d imagine. 🙂

@anne-swiftblade, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Sweet Sixteen, too! Hope your day is awesome! 😀

Hope you like chocolate cake! 😉
