This was extremely difficult to read with the background and font all on top of all the other font. This is the first time I've ever done this, but it is TOO much of a chore for me to read. I'm going to remove from contest, but please feel free to submit another one. Thanks.

She Has My Heart This was interesting I like how you had it layed out as a background too. I wish you the best of luck in my contest, Thanks for entering my contest. Hope you have a wonderful first day of the new year

5-5.5 (judging on scale 1-10)
this is far too typical as far as thematics go. i really think, especially with the background, that this just tries to hard to be something great. Much of the phrasing is awkward, especially the two stanzas that are supposed to be speech, the last stanzas of each poem are also phrased awkwardly (for example "comatose/ bleak monotony of day" is a bit repetitive, there are too many similiar adjectives. -

I think you're taking yourself a little too seriously with the background and all the ~*~*~* stuff. It does have a bit of a slant rhyme going on which is pretty decent, and the content of the poem itself isn't too shabby. I do like the compare and contrast format, it is unique. I'm sorry to sound rude, though, but I'd say that most of these people were just interested in your nice format and less interested in your poem.
-

The background was the only way I could get the poem to appear as I wanted it. I don't think I'm taking it too seriously, I just had fun messing around with it on Powerpoint. I have two other versions of this without this background and people seem to like it anyway so...and the *~ is so the title is centred above the background, otherwise it looks odd and I'm a perfectionist lol, I dont particularly like those either though I must admit. Thanks for your comment x
-
-
This is a different poem. I like what you write about and comparisons you make. The flow was beautiful and the words just melded so nice.
Great job!
-
amazing, i understand the poem being background now, that's fine. thanks for enterting this astounding peice
-
i cant see it
-
This is very beautiful congrats on all the words. I love the way you have it set up to first time i've seen something like that before Good luck in the contest
-
Truthfully, I don't like your title. It's too much. Just "Comatose" would have been sufficient without all the graffiti. I came back to this several times when judging the contest of mine this is in, and not because I thought it lacked in verse, or anything, it's quite nicely written, but, I was deciding if it was 2 poems or not. I felt it was, and I still feel it is, just under one heading that combines them to make two into one. I could be wrong, it could be a like a coin, it has two sides, and you're writing it as if it is, and that may be true but I had to judge it objectively, and based on my rules. But, I didn't want to remove it, and in the list I kept, I rated it as a "Silver", but, it got knocked like other poems did - that's the process of judging.
Anyway, it's a great poem(s), either way.

Thank you for the honourable mention
-
Hey, thanks for a great comment, I am glad you liked the poem/s. I guess I did intend it to be as one piece, just opposites, like a coin as you say but I can also see your point of view.
The graffiti is so the title is actually centered above the poem, it's only there because I'm a perfectionist and didn't like it not being centered properly!
Take care xx

OKAY This is Blow it out of the water good~ you gotta know it ~ WOW! HOLY smokers ~ Your a GENIUS! Its laid out perfectly with the background that had to take some time! ~ WOW ~ Excellent write ~ NOTHING is lost there!!! I REALLY like it!!! its a yin and yang of poetry persay~
Thanks for entering round 1 ~ good luck to you!
-
nice one! beautifully presented... actually, it reminds me a little of InvividualEleven's "Hero and Villain" (here on AP)... thank you for your entry!
-
OMG!!!!!
Dare I say how awe-stricken I am at the moment? This is AMAZING!!!
I can't go on about this piece enough, honestly. I really appreciate how you are able to write so eloquently about the same topic, but from two completely opposite sides of the coin. Yin and Yang is what this reminds me of. It's good VS. evil. It's incredibly evocative, and loaded down with brilliant imagery in every line. I am forever your student "from across the pond."

After looking back at my rules I'll have to ask that you re-submit your poem without the graphics, I had asked that no pictures/graphics be used unless I provided them. I will give you two days to simply re submit the poem with the words only. I do find the way you did it beautiful, but I have to stick by my rules.
-
Beautiful poem. I love the way you did a flip side of the same sort of situation. Good luck in the contest.
-
Wow this has won so many trophies and I can see why. Such a wonderful, uplifting piece of poetry, created using wonderfully graphic imagery. I could see this on one of those gift plaque things. Really beautiful. Many thanks for entering and good luck to you.

Are you sure this is an original piece?
-
Please do enter a poem that hasnt wont ANYTHING. thank you.
-
wow this was beautifully penned. your trophies on this piece are well deserved. thanks for your wonderful entry!
-
A beautiful write, I feel the setting out is gorgeous and adds alot. But I feel that it is a little over the top, distracting from the words themselves.
Much luck
-
beautifully crafted
though i'm not liking the hard to read background that takes some of the poems light away....
wonderful write !!!!!!! -
That was amazing... I loved the format, side by side. It truly bring out good versus evil, and it flow smoothly from one side to the other, and throughout both poems.
Amazing job and good luck in the contest! -
-
Thank you very much - it took ages to get it into that format (as I'm not a gold member!) Take care x

Interesting and the narration is well done as well as the imagery.
Thanks so much for participating in my contest. I wish you all the best. I encourage you to keep on writing my friend.

Wow, wow, wow. This poem left me speechless. First of all, I love how you contrasted between night and day, angels and demons. The imagery was so powerful, and the way you described such, really makes the reader feel what you are saying with your words. My fav. lines would have to be the 3rd stanza in Night- Angels. Secondly, the background really added what you would call " oomf" like a great effect on your poem. (If you understand what I mean, I can't explain it) And last but not least, this is and oustanding poem full of beauty and truth. Best of luck to you in my contest, and thanks for entering
-
Firstly nice use of background and nice background; and secondly great poem.
I love this and I love how you split it between night and day, I feel like this a lot of times and do feel the burden lifting as I sleep and return as I wake.
This is wonderfully done and wonderfully written, you have a talent for this and let no one tell you differently, you wrote it perfectly and I couldn't imagine this any different.
You should look into getting your work published on lulu.com - it is rather simple to do and you publish it yourself and they only charge the amount of the materials. Look into it you're great with this and I would love to see your backgrounds and poetry in a bookstore someday.
Great work and keep it up;

Absolutely wonderful piece and the background is amazing. Congratulations.
-
This is great! I love the way you have two poems in one. The background is perfect also! Good luck in ALL the contests! You should get another gold somewhere!
Hugs!!!

I am normally not a fan of dark poetry, but this poem has blown me away. The background is just fantastic and it really relates to the poem so well. You can be very proud of this write as well as the presentation of the poem. You have done very well with this one.
