Oh mercy.... this is a poem that really explodes with heartfelt emotions... I love the creative word usage here...well done Jenni ~

I liked the beginning but the ending didn't seem right to me, I felt there was something missing, each stanza was good in it's own, I just think that you were missing some thoughts from the piece,

Because you started off with concept of newspaper, which is new and fresh everyday with the same stories but then ended with a book which never changes and it always the same. I didn't see the transition or connection

Maybe I was reading it wrong, I just don't know.

As I said I loved the beginning, great stanza to open with.

Miss you girl.
Love xxx

I love the title:)
Its a great poem :)

This poem reminds me of that saying where someone is so open that people can read you like a book. I loveeee that you made it a newspaper. Awesome write hun and the first stanza was my favourite

x

From the tittle i didnt expect this ... the ways you decribed your emotion as if u were a new paper was awesome .. u dont just wanna be todays headline u want everyday subcriber excelent x

I do not only want to be
- todays headline -
but philosophy of life.

You can't just pass me on
once you're done.

---You don't only want to be one event in someone's life but you want to be there forever. that's what I understood. Also you are saying how important you are and that you shouldn't be taken slightly.

OR that someone needs to pay attention to everything you do in your life not just the special events like in the newspapers. Like friends are in both the good and bad times not just the good ones. And the same goes for those who are only in the bad ones like parents, they should also be there with you on the happy ones. Good one.

You're wording is superb, the theme creative and original.
In essence you want forever, not a daily read, but a life time of understanding .
Excellent Jen

Nice poem :)............I felt let down slightly at the end of the poem, something more heart felt would of been better, but all in all i liked it

PS as i do you can always go back and insert a better stanza at the end if you feel you have a better one :), it just makes it more complete

Jenni

I simply adore it.Loved the final stanza.Great write!

I feel like I just told a few people this in my life. How funny you wrote about it Its true, people read too into our lives and truthfully I feel they should not. Our business is our business and people shouldnt interfere, be nosey, give judegment...

I loved this piece, pretty creative comparing a situation to a newspaper!

I, too, would love to see more stanzas in this poem because I think it didn't satisfy me ;)

Jenni, I LOVE the incorporation of the 'newspaper' aspects so much. And haha.. your ending was really powerful, like thunder.

Amazing write.

I love the way you have analogize with a magazine or newspaper. It's brilliant. Powerfula nd thoughful write.
The ending says it all.

/Either take out
a lifetime subscription
or close the magazine
right now!

/ loved the attitude in these lines.

Appericiated !

I giggled almost at how it started off with "Stop Reading"... Seriously.

Who puts that at the beginning of their poem, it made me smile :D Haha~! I loved the poem though.

I believe this piece was intended for the short piece you wrote. I do agree with Tara, the ending is a bit odd, but I don't know because it does make sense and it kind of adds to the poem but i guess most of the time poems need to "feel" write.

It felt very powerful and i could feel all that was going on inside of your mind. Thank you for sharing this piece and there is so much more i Could say but i loved the poem and i believe anything i would say would have ruined this particular piece.

Thank you :D

I liked the idea jenni of using the newspaper as a metaphor for your inner most feelings. the way u used the paper to covey this message is clever and innotive. the poem is quiet and also short. a newspaper is always disregarded and thrown out and through irony you get this across in your poem about not wanting to be used like the daily newspaper. i like this poem it was a clever poem done tastefully well.

This is also a great poem:)

Love the metaphor of the newspaper as your feelings, so great. 5/5
