malachi, please do try to Minute Poem. Really, it lends itself to humor, drama, etc. Gives a fast pace or a relaxed one. VERY versatile. Let me know when you've written it. Thank you for your very kind review! :-) Sue
Comment from Adri7enne
Very good analogy for changing attitudes and a needless clinging to old habits. Good poetry, with good images and insightful message. You have an insight into your own mind, and therefore into the world in general. Very good work.

Comment from Clueless
This poem is so realistic in reference to girls who are out going and than grow up only to be doubtful of things, for same reason we like to hold on to things we no longer use or need, were we question our selves if we really like it.It is true we do change as we get older and start to be more cynical.The poem is good.

This poem is a metaphor on how when one gets older, cynicism gets stronger. The dress hanging in the closet is "cynicism"; something worn once in awhile which is not that appealing. Also, a 3 star rating means that the poem needs "a lot of work". In reviewing, it is proper to outline what work needs to be done to make it a better piece. Can you please complete your review? Thanks very much. Sue

Iambic meter is so simple, it ain't even worth mentioning! a soft (unstressed) syllable followed by a hard (stressed) syllable. da/DUM/da/DUM/da/DUM/da/DUM. See? Toldja!! Easy. Write two lines with 8 syllables in each line. Start with the soft syllable in each line. It has a sing-song sound. Just make sure it "sounds" like we talk and it won't be choppy. (send a copy on PM - would love to read it). C''mon, give it a go! :-)) Sue

Hi Sixteez.
How very clever in your turn of a phrase. "A cynic"s dress"
This is a great poem expressing how wardrobe is often linked to feelings. Excellent write. Best to you in the contest. Fondly, Rebecca

I have a hard time choosing what to wear. Mainly, I guess, I wear what you said - what I feel like that day. Some days are black, some frilly ... you're a girl. You know what I mean. This was excellent and I think most women will be able to identify with this poem. Best of luck in the contest. Blessings, Linda

I love the layers to this poem. I thought it soke beautifully of your thoughts and spirit. Or at least that of the speaker. Nice work.

Very cute and clever, filled with nostalgia and description of how it feels to have to decide on our clothing and how we feel when it changes.
Very well done, fits the rhymes and the rules nicely.

The picture could be you with blue eyes! I like the metaphor with the dress representing an attitude. The "threadbare" description is powerful.
