Poetry / Much Ado about nothing

Your review notes tell me one thing
Your comment acts surprised
Shocked that one has listened
Read and then advised
According to your directions
You want to be publicized
But really what you want to hear
Is sweet-nothings in your ear

I have to say, I dont know what you think is so bad about the review system here. The ones that critique you with constructive criticism make you better and the ones that are nice are there to keep up your self-esteem. As for your poem, it was good at portraying how you feel about the review system.

I think this has a nice pattern of rhymes. It seems to end too soon. I would really let the person have what they deserve. Their ears would be ringing but not from sweet-nothings!

It bites! I wish I would have read the poem before your notes on it, that way, it gives a little more room for shock and interpretation. I advise that you remove the notes, since it is clear cut and simple. I like the fact that you wrote about something real, something relevant to the moment. I think that all writers here can relate :).

I loved it!! Very straight forward, and to the point. The piece reads well! Nice flow, good rhyme. And the content speaks for many of us. I do not mind a bad review at all. I can use all the help I can get. What angers me is when I read. “That’s not bad”. “nice read”. “Needs more effort”. Come on, put some effort into the review. I put much effort into my work, I would like to have good effort in the review, good, or bad.

There is definitely a gray area at times when you think about “Urbis review guidelines”, “notes for the reviewer”, and acceptable vs. unacceptable behavior. I got a warning for posting a haiku “review” response to a haiku (as opposed to a straight up review). A lot of haiku writers do that though on here though. It’s called “Renga”. I spoke to the writer about it and he said that he wasn’t familiar with renga, and apologized to me.

It’s unfortunate that you have run into someone who is not so forgiving. You can always contest the warning and set out to prove that your review did indeed “follow the Urbis Guidelines”. As far as your poem goes, I found it to be clever indeed. It strikes me as funny that there is a developing subculture on Urbis writing reactive pieces in response to other pieces or other writers and so on…

Ha! You are SO on the money with this one! And you also have made an excellent use of rhyming words—no ‘Hallmark Card’ nonsense here. Well done!

lol bravo and brave of you to write in your notes about the “cry baby”, I believe I know exactly who it is. None the less you made a point with your poem that perhaps all should read and probably will at some point or another. Actually I believe your notes should also be published as a review of it’s own. Good job, I liked your directness and tact.

I really like what you are saying here. Your notes from the reviewer help put everything in perspective. I take your words as both angry and sarcastic, I hope that this is an accurate assumption. I’m all for getting what you are asking for especially when it comes to writting which is what we are all here for right? this is a great piece.

I like to write end rhyme poetry too just for fun…and it seems that is what you are going for here.  I thought the last two lines might have been rushed to finish as it lost some of its rhythm.
