Poetry / The Unfortunate Sonnet (Analysis)

Although I think your poem is clever, when you entitle a poem “sonnet” it typically means you’ll be using the sonnet form. I like what you have to say in the poem…it might be more ironic if you actually rewrite it in sonnet form, thus proving that you can write a sonnet and add one more level to your work.

Very nice; I think just about everyone in the world can identify with those feelings. I didn’t see any spelling errors, although I’m not sure ‘Warhol’ is spelled right.

I think that this is a great poem. It something that every reader can identify with. We all want to be something that maybe isn’t exactly us, so it makes us unfortunately, who we are as individuals. Great work!

so im not a professional but i love poetry. i love the concept u were goin with but it seemed a lil underdeveloped. if maybe u had added more details it about yourself the last line would’ve hit a harder note.

seems like your being really down on urself
anyways its a good job and i like how you write it

It’s a very typical theme, but it’s something a lot of people feel. The ending, as pessimistic as it is, is a little frustrating to me, but people take thing differently. I think that may have more to do with my own character than your writing.

The thing I can think to comment on is the people. Using the names of real people can be tricky, because not everyone may know all the people you’ve listed. Still perhaps for the most part it’s still pretty clear and understandable.

I’m no poetry expert and I dont know if you were intending on it being funny. I know with most poetry you take out of it what you get. I thought it was really funny and insightfull. Good Job… Keep up the good work
