    Interesting poem, you might want to sort out the punctuation though.. The site does that sometimes.
    It was short and to the point, there didn't seem to be much behind the poem, which was a shame. But using clear and simple words like 'Ugly' kind of gave the poem a punch.
    The only other criticism I have is that you could have done with maybe another stnza, just to finish it off slightly better, andnot leaving the reader with something more to desire.
    However, the imagery was good - Unpolished stone to Diamond - I liked this idea. The flow was also good.

    Nice poem, Sole x

    Re-read your poem, you need to edit out the weird stuff.

    You need punctuation at the end of your lines.

    This is a bit too simple for my liking, I think you could have made a story out of this or elaborated on what you're saying, 3/5.

    I'm a little, well, confused...

    Mainly by the odd markings and lack of punctuation that I saw. I would re-write this if I was you.

    Well, this is a good poem with a good story and concept. I do like the short but concise poems, but this could have been much longer and more developed. On with the poem:

    You are princess
    Smart, Sweet, and Stylish
    That everyone loves

    ^^ Nice introduction, but does it need to be 'you are a princess: '? That might make more sense to other readers. Otherwise, it's good.

    I'm Vampire...
    Wild, Rough, and Ugly
    That everyone hates

    ^^ This simple, contrasting stanza is qite effective, but again I think the first line needs to be 'I'm a vampire...'. Excellent choice of adjectives, punchy :)

    Iâ??m unpolished-stone
    And you are Diamond
    Iâ??m Vampire and you're my victim

    ^^ I think you need to check the weird stuff in this bit :) the punctuation does that sometimes. Here's what I would change this stanza to:

    [ I'm an unpolished stone
    And you are a diamond.
    I'm a vampire... and you're my victim.]

    That way, the imagery is much more vivid and the 'vampire...' bits refers back to the previous stanza. The ending works quite well.

    Overall, a good poem. I think you need to go over the poem again and add some more punctuation, change it around a bit and maybe add another stanza, as it is a little bit rushed in my opinion. I'll give it a 3/5, it would have been higher if you had spent some more time on it.

    Keep writing,
    Em :)

    Kinda short, if you would have elaborated on this i would have loved it. i adore vampire things, so it was good for a shorter poem 3/5

    Very nicely done, a little more detail may have sufficed to give the poem a little more structure, but regardless it is still very well done and the has many interesting perceptions. I also liked the use of the alliterations.

    Nice work.

    "I'm unpolished-stone
    And you are Diamond"
    I think that it would sound better if you put
    "I am the unpolished-stone
    And you are the Diamond"

    In this poem you described a princess and a vampire very well. I liked the format. The wording was good. I would have liked this poem more if it had been a little longer. Other then the suggestions I have made above I see nothing else that could be fixed. I really liked this poem because it is in line with the books I read and the movie that I like to watch. This was a good poem even with out the changes I suggested. I gave this poem a 5/5.

    Oh and my favorite stanzas were

    "You are a princess
    Smart, Sweet, and Stylish
    That everyone loves

    I'm a Vampire...
    Wild, Rough, and Ugly
    That everyone hates"

    Because in these two stanzas you describe the princess and the vampire perfectly. Keep up the great work =)

    I agree with most of the comments already posted, but wanted to point out something to no one else did.

    This poem is very close to following the haiku [ haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 Japanese on (a phonetic unit identical to the mora), in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 on respectively ]form, but is off a little bit. With poems that are this short and non-descriptive, readers can quickly loose interest and think that the writer is amature when they are not. Haikus are not meant to be long or very descriptive, but only to introduce a thought into some one's head and let them ponder the meaning. This would be a great canidate for that.

    Otherwise, i like how you left the reader enough room to interpret the poem how they want it. It was not too descriptive, so the reader can imagine it exactly how they want to; but it provides a good backbone and subject. I would suggest changing the "I'm unpolished-stone / And you are Diamond"
    to something like "I am the unpolished-stone
    And you are the Diamond"; or "I am an unpolished-stone / You are a Diamond"; it flows a little better.

    Overall, short, to the point, not overbearing.

    Nice short poem.

    A short but well-written piece. I like the creativity and imagery used, and there isn't to much descriptiveness, its simple yet amazing. I liked your wording and how you started off the poem describing the princess than the vampire. Nice work, keep it up. Take care, keep writing, always and forever...

    I liked it, but I was disappointed that it was so short.

    "I'm unpolished-stone
    And you are Diamond"

    ^I loved this comparison.

    And I liked the ending. I did not quite expect it, which is always good. :)

    You are a princess
    Smart, Sweet, and Stylish
    That everyone loves
    ^^I think you need to use stronger vocabulary to really get your point across . Much bigger powerful synonyms to the wonderful ideas you already have .
    Smart = Intellectual , Intelligent , so on .
    You could also use similies ,
    Sweet = Sweet as sugar ..
    Punctuation is also needed here , to improve the impact of your statements . Semi colons when used appropriately seem to give a better impact , and I don't know if I'm just simple minded .. But I find them pretty as well .

    I'm a Vampire...
    Wild, Rough, and Ugly
    That everyone hates
    ^^I would add words to the first line , and make it some thing like :
    But me , I'm a vampire ...
    It kind of adds to your idea of opposition . Once again here , you need stronger words to describe the vampire , or comparisons . Some words could be malevolant , untamed , unkind to sight .. And I don't think hate is a strong enough word either . Perhaps try despise ? And the last phrase is too simple .. Try something like :
    Despised by all who are living ..
    And again I suggest adding punctuation .

    I'm unpolished-stone
    And you are Diamond
    I'm Vampire and you're my victim
    ^^You need something more rigid than an unpolished stone .. Something jagged , like a rock or a piece of coal . And for the second line , it's important that you add "a" between "are" and "Diamond" , I would also suggest taking out the capital unless you're trying to make it really noticeable . The last line is almost perfect to end the piece , except you need to add punctuation and the word "the" between "I'm" and "Vampire" , which also needs the capital removed . Fantastic piece really , best of luck on improving it .

    Hmm.. I don't like this one as much as your others. The emotion is good, but not great.

    This was not really that great but still it was good. There didn't seem to be too much of a flow or rhyme. You did a good job with the emotion. Good job.

    I didnt expect the ending lol
    It just kind of hit me when it was over
    The line that says

    Im unpolished stone
    You are diamond

    was my favorite line
    5/5

    I liked the way you described the princess and the vampire it was very indepth. I also loved the unpolished stone for you and her being a diamond I thought it was perfect. On the other hand the poem is very short and simple and in my eyes doesn't deserve a 5 so I'll give it a 4/5. nice work

    Short and stylish.
    I like the alliteration you used in line two.
    I also like how you compare the two as a diamond and an unpolished stone.

    nice one
