    lol an applause for stretching yourself into an alien realm...! Perhaps our first attempts aren't masterpieces- but here I think you've summed up the genre pretty succinctly... (and somehow I don't think the piece came from deep within your woefully torn heart!) There are a few good writers in the genre, most are young of course; what I appreciate is their freshness with one-syllable words that I've long forgotten...

    i haven't read much dirty-pretty though i have come across a few good ones. i find this type of poetry needs at least two reads to 'get it'... if there is something to get good dirty-pretty is kinda cool

    i think the way you've chosen to use the punctuation works out pretty good. it emphasizes simple words, a simple thought... and the ending works for me

    yeahh. =/
    I have to agree with everyone else. Ditch the punctuation.
    Although, I do actually like the words. May not be very original but makes an emotional piece.

    Dirty pretty isn't ridiculous puncuation.
    Even if you stripped your poem down to just words, it still wouldn't sound original at all. It isn't deep; just sounds like a cliche 'emo' poem. You can barely read it with all t*h*i*s c/r/a/p [[[[surrounding]]]] ~~it~~. It makes it look ugly.

    Um, well thank you.
    I think you might want to check up on what dirty-pretty really is though, it's not just a bunch of punctuation and ****'s and words.
    You have to put meaning behind it or it's nothing.
    This poem was a little cliche, and a little too short.
    But thank you for your efforts. :]

    As Much As I Appriciate This Genre' Of Poetry;;
    This Isn't Dirty Pretty; However I Understand How Easily It Is To Be Missguided.
    I Do Like This Though;
    Good Theme.
