Leave her alone. Her poems are beautiful, and, considering she's 11, it's impressive.
And I'm sorry, but she said in the very first post she borrowed the line from a Green Day song. If she quoted it, then it's not stealing.
Leave the poor girl alone, she's seen your point.
And I really love your poems, sunshine.
This isnt the tell everyone things are beautiful forum, this is the poetry forum. Post your poems and see what other GSBIANS think about them forum.
I highly doubt she wants to be judged by her age, considering most 11 year olds are immature, she isnt. If she wants me to hold her to those standards, I will. I think you should all visit the Ageism Thread in the SD forum.

Her poem is beautiful. What would you like me to do, tell her it's not?
I'm not going to argue with you, but you're just being stubborn now.

I really liked that actaully, even though I didn't understand it at all. I loved the metaphores you used, and your word choice.
Keep writing.

She's probably the next Emily Dickinson, at this rate
Do you have any idea how much their style and thinking differs?
How can you say something like that?

I'm not even that good, Eli, so I'm definitely NOT going to be the next Emily Dickinson. At ANY rate.

Emily Dickinson used short metaphorical poems with no title
you have long semi-meaningless titles
long lines in unformated stanzas
you use a lot of words wrong considering the fact that they sound formulated and you had a dictionary in front of you while writing
you try too hard to sound cynaicle but beautiful
and I could say other stuff but then it would be easier for you to look like a victim
work at staying true to yourself and use better form (shorter lines, shorter stanzas)
and then you might be onto something
but no, you aren't Emily Dickinson (which isn't a bad thing

thank you IFoundTheDuck, for sticking up for me like that. But really, I don't need it. Yeah, I'm eleven. So? I have principles and I'll do whatever it needs to stop people doing things like that. I'm sorry that I used random lines in my poem, it obviously didn't turn out exactly what I'd wanted it to turn out like.
And yes, I didn't say that line was mine, I actually credited it.
thank you.
It was my pleasure, dear.
Honestly, your poems are some of the best I've seen, ever. Better than the professionals.

OK, this argument died out ages ago.
Can we just drop it now and get back to posting and commenting on poetry?
o.o I'm sorry for complimenting her? Jesus...This is a poetry area, not a fucking battle ground. Get over yourselves alright? The worse thing to do is make ruthless arguments in a poem made by someone.
I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. Poetic D is probably humiliated out of her right mind.
I apologize to her and to this poem, because this is sheer ridicule. In fact I'll probabaly end up writing about this, this sickens me to no end.
You know what sickens me? How some of you are acting like she is some horrible, mistreated 11 year old. SHE isn't upset about this, she was glad to get our critiscm. You're the ones making a big deal out of this. THAT is what the forum is for, no one "ridiculed" her, in any way shape or form. There are 2 mods who have posted in this thread, we wouldn't let that happen. And if you think what I said was "ridiculing her" you're going to get a hard kick from reality whenever some idiot comes on here an really does.
If one more person doesnt comment about the poem and spams about unfair critiscm, this is going to get locked. If you find something Unfair, PM a mod or Dujo, but don't clutter someone elses poem with your comments on it. This issue is done.
