Tell me what you think, if it works, if it doesn't, or how I can improve it. Friends we scout we search we seek out lives of those who need us we snare we care we share our light with those who keep us we sink we sag we shrink from sight of those who demean us we live we laugh we love in spite of those who leave us I like, my only suggestion is that there is an extra syllable in the section "from sight of those who demean us" which breaks the flow ever so slightly. You may want to look at that, or not, it's a nice piece. that my dear is brilliant in all possible ways. dont change it. maybe add alittle more to it, i said maybe. but dont change it. I like it. By know means am I an expert, but I like the way it alll flows together. I love it. It has good rhythm. It flows well. I read it multiple times just to let the ideas sink in. Very good insight into our reaction to how people respond to us. We sag... You have a gift. It is very good. GOOD LUCK! I don't think you should change this. It sounds good as it is now =] Great job of succinctly describing how we respond to human stimuli and vice versa. Amazing how the sub-conscious mind can weave a myriad of thoughts & emotions into the fabric of a masterpiece. I really enjoyed and identified with your words. You have a gift. Job well done ! damn...thats awesome. i wouldnt change it and you dont always have to stick to the same style...change things up a little sometimes..this is working for you :) |
