This is weird but the only way I can describe this sharp and abrupt. Very good. Got me right in the feels.

THIS IS STUFF I WROTE IN HIGH SCHOOL and if you find the yearbook I graduated in, it's actually in the art section. XD Thanks, glad you liked.

Is seriously probably the best four line poem I've ever read. And I've read a lot of haiku and limmerics (admittedly 5 lines).

Very well summed with a delicious composition :cute:

Great, now I'm blushing and squeeing with that glowing, pleased feeling only a good ego-boost can give you.

It's unfortunate one doesn't get a nobel prize for literary arts.

"The Nobel Prizes are prizes awarded annually to people (and, in the case of the Peace Prize, sometimes to organizations) who have completed outstanding research, invented ground-breaking techniques or equipment, or made an outstanding contribution to society in physics, chemistry, literature, peace, medicine or physiology and economics." - Wikipedia

wow.. for how short it is, it's pretty powerful. I read it aloud to my roomate, and she thinks the same as me. You seriously are the WonderWriter, Spirit.

tinkertype In reply to rileymai [2006-10-31 02:01:57 +0000 UTC]

The length concerned me for a bit, and I tried to add onto it but (let me be corny for a moment) like life, it's short and sweet just the way it is. XD

Aww, man, don't say that~ Thanks, Riley - props to yer roommate, too.

On a sidenote, sometimes I wish I could always write like this - short, sweet, to the point. Don't say in ten words what you can say in two, ya know? =3

^___^

I'll let her know props are going her way.

yeah, I can't really say I am good at writing poetry.. I've tried, but I'm dissatisfied with myself a lot. And you're right there. ^^

tinkertype In reply to rileymai [2006-11-02 04:47:43 +0000 UTC]

Aww. I'm seriously not. XD I mean, I write so much more poetry that you'll never see - and I've got /journals/ of old poetry that makes me cringe. I once thought I'd be a poet rather than an author, but then I got a lick of sense and change career paths. ^__^

rileymai In reply to tinkertype [2006-11-02 17:28:08 +0000 UTC]

lick of sense?.. I just think you don't know how good you are at writing, in every sense, that including poetry. ^^

tinkertype In reply to rileymai [2006-11-03 18:20:21 +0000 UTC]

Yes, Riley, Common Sense literally walked up to me and gave me a good lick on the side of my face - ta da! I could think clearly~ O.o

I know I'm good! I'm not great, but I know I'm good, Riley, sheesh~ XD You get a few A's and 6's from school, a few compliments from strangers on the internet, and one tends to start getting the idea..
