It's not that hard to miss with that particular font, so I can see how Jaft could make the mistake.

In actuality, Kals, you would be better off posting it on a site like dA. When it's in a text format it's easier for people checking for plagiarism to search. I've had professors take whole sentences and phrases from essays and put them into search engines just to see what pops up.

that's only if you can't use superscript and notate it properly.

EDIT: But, enough about the presentation, what think you of the content? I desire feedback.

Hum...

I'll get to you on that right after...

Edit:

a b b c c b b a // a b c a b c

Definitely much more intense then some of the weaker poems one may encounter. =3

I very much liked the second part with God tossing all those trials your way and how you left helpless, yet moving forward despite the struggles.

With the structure and style you used, I'm guessing all of it is right, because I don't have a clue.

I'm pretty sure I connected with the second part better because of the different flow, it appealed to me more.

Kals is questing again!

Yeah, classically a sonnet is supposed to be "Struggle/conflict" in the abbaabba portion and "resolution" in the cdecde portion... unless you're Shakespeare, and then you are psychotic and carry the conflict all the way to the last two lines... and when I was writing this, I literally wrote the abbaabba part going "WTF? WTF?" and then sat there for like half an hour going "Crap, I have no resolution." I think the important part was the realisation that there actually is no resolution for this particular conflict, and that life carries on anyways. I think that people well-acquainted with the sonnet form might feel like the wind has fallen out of their sails a bit after reading this one; With a beginning section so bleak and searching, one might hope for a more bright and hopeful ending.

Thanks for your comments, Jaft ^.^

Edit: After rereading, gosh darn, I shoulda seen it was abba, it reminds me of the band even.

I should really study up some formal poem structures... but I probably will not. Lol.

I updated with a poem, "Angels Will Burn".

I'm still puzzling out why I wrote it, but I think it's a metaphoracle assault on the beautiful people can be such assholes to other people. biggrin  

[Jafthasleftthebuilding]

Gosh darn it, if I read this poem and I find out it has no rainbows and happy midgets dancing around in circles... I'll be severely disappointed.  

[Matrias Fierno]

Uh... You're going to be disappointed.

If it helps, I wrote one of those once.

Granted, I think I set it on fire, but...
