I like the emotions conveyed. The feeling of being used (and in a definitely negative sense). The piece has a number of spelling mistakes; I wasn't too bothered by them, but one must be careful, they bother many other people and in order to get something published, a piece cannot have such mistakes. The use of run on sentences was interesting, though, at times I found it excessive. Such as, "... and pounded to be made into a blank sheet of paper, I was then written on ..." here I would have b...
Amazing. It's hard to find anything wrong with this, I really like it. I suppose the only thing that stood out to me was that "behind us" and "liners" did not rhyme (I guess it could be considered a near or imperfect rhyme). Because of the short length of the piece, it could improve the overall feel of it, and as well, every other aspect of each verse is mirrored. But really, it's great. I find that the short length of it works well.
For what genre of music is this? I assume that the lyrics within parenthesis are meant to be spoken more softly? That part is interesting. It certainly is an emotional song, and that is important. The line "make you fingertips leave marks" seemed a bit.. "unpoetic". Something like "dig your fingers into my [or the] skin". An interesting theme..

Funny and great rhyming. Also, definitely a good message for children: don't get your dog hooked on food of humans!
The flow is great and the story quite cute. The only problems I have with it: * "Surely I’ll give him a serious talking -too- to." * I don't think that many bees fly straight! * The flow seems a bit weak here: "pieces of parsnips and even half-eaten potato chips."
The word choice of "wisps" is confusing if the word is engulfed by it so heavily. "Is such fear ..." which fear? Is "the want for a better life" really a fear? These things are subjective, but they are my reactions to reading it. "Where is the dream?" Is not a dream a symbol for disillusionment? Why dream, why be complacent, when one can live with a clear mind? The semi-colon after "message" in the second to last line doesn't work; replace it with a colon. The end message is good, but "hope y...
