Nice to see you here, I told you you would love it,

Finally a place where people as random as you and I seem to fit. Be warned it's bloody additive and you get lost in the reading.

Before you know it's it's one in the morning

Wow great poem and already nominated for the weekly contest I see. Strong title, good rhyme and meter. A nice emotional piece and worthy of the nomination, I think we could be seeing more of your poems nominated in the future.

Oh this hits me in the gut....what a heart gripping rhyme this is. Happy its nominated!!

Judging Comment:

Even though the repetition was a little but overused in this piece it manages to stand out among the others that have been nominated this week. The author has beautifully blended a great mixture of tones and textures in this piece. The flow is wonderfully smooth and the word choice is rough in just the right ways to express how this person feels about growing up and moving on from some darker days. There is a much more personal aspect of this piece than most of the others this week and I think that this one provides great contrast on both that front and the front of having a little more structure (or well done structure). For a fairly new poet to the site, Lyrical Madness has definitely gained fans from this piece.

Great poem and my top pick for this week’s contest. Excellent rhyme and meter. What I really enjoyed was the way the rhyme flowed, nothing was forced this enabled the message to shine through without being distracted. The stanzas were concise and well constructed, once again emphasizing the message and emotion that you want to convey. Well done
