I picked up the phone with shaking hands,
he said that we needed to talk,
I wished that we could've talked
face to face
or at least just taken a walk......
but here I am, again once more
he's always played with my mind,
what will it be, this time boy,
a skinnier, or prettier find?
Oh yes, U were always such a big flirt,
the smiling and winking type,
and I knew someday, this would happen again,
and look at this, I was right......
so you explain to me, that it's not working out,
and as the tears well up in my eyes,
you say hush now, please don't cry,
I have a reason that may surprise......
you say that lately, on and off,
you've been having strange sensations,
that maybe you're not who you thought after all,
and you think you wanna change stations......
and I yell so loud, WHAT IS YOUR POINT?!!
cuz on this phone, I refuse to stay.....
and you make great haste, the point your TRYING to make,
is that "frankly my dear, I'm gay."

-------------------------------------
just to let ya'll know, this IS a true story, and it DID happen to me.

and I was hurt by it at the time, and upset and stuff, but now we're better friends then before we went out, and we talk about our favoroite guy celebs over AIM, lol, funny how things turn out ey? I dont know if I exactly agree with it, but Im not a homophobe or anything like that, and so he is now like a brother- well, a sister to me, lol.

this is for U my ginger kid (inside joke) U know who U R and U rock kid! ILY!<3

I did not like this poem. I'm sorry.
One reason is the format. It's all jumbled together and it gives me the idea that you didn't work hard on writing this poem or put any other meaning into it like you should regularly when dealing with poetry.
Second reason is that there were several grammatical errors. The usage was incorrect and I noticed you put "U" instead of "You". It's a small error but it makes the poem seem less "Internet lingo-ish" if you will.
Third reason is the flow. Flow also refers to the format of your poem. I had a hard time knowing when sentences or thoughts started or finished. If you want to portray a character, make sure you use direct quotes so I and the other people of your "audience" can understand what exactly they are reading.

You should follow these tips. Now, I'm not poet expert or anything, but I'm more of an English "expert" if you will. Very Happy

I liked the ending. That's about it though. So, otherwise I agree with Band Geek.
