Quotes / Piggy Bank Heart (Analysis)

It made me laugh at first and then I felt bad for laughing. It was light-hearted and fun at first but then it just got really sad. I liked it in a weird way.

well…its not the most powerful thing i have ever read…cute? iguess..i prefer sayings that empower us…. it is original, for sure.

Short, sweet, and to the point.  Been there, done that.  Maybe your writing style won’t be so fashionable with the those who publish poetry (free verse seems to be the only thing), but there is a wonderful Ogden Nash quality to your poem!

A very nice idea. A criticism might be the length but quality doesn’t come in quantity and so it would be unfair to comment on that. Spending insides is a hard concept to grasp but like i said before, it is an interesting idea overall.

i found this charming & at the same time, very sad. i like the comparison of the hear to a fragile piggybank. ‘spent all my insides’ was a very clever line. overall i thought this poem very good

“and spent all my insides.”.. great line, sadly funny. no criticism.

If you added anything to that quote it would take away from your words.  It’s a great peice and very original.

Good use of simile.

While the sentiment does come through---broken hearted and bankrupted emotionally--icouldn’t help but giggle.  I just think that the image of a piggy bank is childish and cutsey, not a good match with being broken hearted?  It’s a good comparison, but it comes off sounding insincere because of the dissimilar topics

Awwww!!!! That is so sad, but so cute! However, this quote would only work in the right context.  If this quote were to be placed somewhere in a poem that had the same childlike vulnerability and almost playful sadness, it would be a ten.  But if it were to be placed in a poem that was more serious, darker, or deeply passionate, it would not work. Be careful about the words you put around this gem!
