i do not mean to offend but i found your poems bland and without emotion.
i did find the travis ripoff humourous
instead of thinking i must have sorrow to write then try and actually have sorrow. go with a bloke that treats you like dirt, have a dirty break up. also don't feel like you have to write sorrowful stuff for it to be credited.
just because it was your early work i found it rather profound rather than the rest which were written just because you did not have a bloke!
ouch. yes, i know most of my poetry is crap- i've tried to sort it amongst least crappiest to most crappiest. most of the 'alone' poems were written 2-3 years ago, shortly after i broke up with my first boyfriend, and the rest were written after my best friend moved away. you know, i have a guestbook for a reason. i wish you would have put your opinion on there rather than resorting to posting 'your poetry is crap and you are lonely and are desperately seeking a boyfriend,' on this messageboard where all my friends can clearly read something that isn't true (except for the 'crap' part). incidentally, the last poem i wrote was 'spyder savage', i wrote it a long time ago, and it has absolutely nothing to do with love.
it says on this post that i am looking for fun more than i am looking for a boyfriend. anybody here who knows me can testify that i am not a sorrowful lonely person.
