  • Lyric Poetry Re: My Life

    Eimear already comments on capitalization so I won't even comment on it at all. This looks more like a playlist than a poem. It would have been cute had it ...

  • Lyric Poetry Re: Perhaps

    The rhyme scheme makes it too forced, such as the line with hieroglyphs. Writing a poem with rhymes is hard because you have to make it seem natural, and not ...

  • Lyric Poetry Re: Reason for Rebellion

    What are you trying to say here? I understand what you're trying to say - but it has no effect on me. Eimear correctly pointed out: show, don't tell. And ...

  • Lyric Poetry Re: New Love, Lyrical Love

    Like I said, I'm not sure what this is. I'm not sure what this is, either. Did you mean to post this in the lyrics section? Is it a song? ...

  • Dramatic Poetry Re: A vivid reflection-second draft up

    Hullo darling! I love reviewing your poetry. Curious: did you edit at all before posting, since it was old? The sharp end branches shook amber leaves away that year; but ...

  • Dramatic Poetry Re: love is love

  • Welcome Mat Re: The obligatory introduction post...

    If you get to throw a dictionary at their head, can I dump the Encyclopaedia Britannica...? I never know what to say. I think a full collection of the Oxford ...

  • Other Poetry Re: True Love

    Hello there! This was a real cute idea. I second Eimear -- show more than you tell. Use less adjectives, and instead describe vividly. Keep in mind poetic elements like ...

  • Information Desk Archive Re: Report A Site Bug

    Huh. I've never done it like that. Interesting though! I'll have to get used to it... Ever since I've coded I've left codes open until I was done with them... ...

  • Information Desk Archive Re: Report A Site Bug

    Natiepoo! I think the new format-thing you've added to the lit section is rendering my codes useless.... In one of my stories I have a section of text, several paragraphs, ...

    Hullo love! Either because I love you, or because you are pestering me [your take!] I'm here to request things. They have many comments, but I would still appreciate all ...

    Hello! Welcome to YWS. What genre is your novel? You must have a lot of passion for it if you've been working on it so long. I'd be interested to ...

    Hello! I assume you like writing - why else you would be here - so what kinds of things do you write? Poetry, fiction, nonfiction? What genre do you favor? ...
