    Wow, this was really creative! I liked the imagery you've developed, I also thought your writing was very controlled even though the topic at first seems so random there is actually alot of thought behind the words. Nicely done :)

    Sorry I never heard of the silver spoon metaphor.

    The imagery, though, was pretty vivid for such short lines. You did seem to have a good grasp on what you were saying even if I couldn't without knowing exactly what the symbol meant. I wasn't confused, I just took it as a regular poem even if it did seem to go deeper than those words. I'm sure once i find out, I'll be able to appreciate it more. It as a good poem, though, as usual!

    This poem is based on the silver spoon metaphor, and in case anyone doesn't know what it's about I will try to clarify it for you now.
    Being "born with a silver spoon in ones mouth" means being born rich and being provided for with out any difficulties.
    The poem is about those born rich and being of higher class they see themselves as "higher" than anyone else. Also, they are "polished" and only receive the best without having to work for it. That was the main idea I was going for. There are some other points in there too which I'm hoping can be picked up with out my explanation.
    Thanks for reading.

    I must admit that i did not know about the silver spoon metaphor but I looked at your comment & realized what it was & read the poem over & understood what i was reading lol. But the poem was very good. It had a nice flow to it & i especially love the stanza:
    Silver spoon with a
    Distinguished sheen,
    Pristine to almost worn.
    Great job! 5/5*

    Yes, I have heard that term, from a Bob Dylan song. Probably one of the best writers ever. Well, this was a really good poem, definitely something to take into perspective.

    The silver spoon. A great topic to write about. And you did it well! I don't think I see any faults in there. Seems pretty good to me. I wish I had more to say, since you helped me alot with my poetry. But, your poems are great. They really are. I hope to read some more soon! 5/5
