Sometimes the optimist annoys hahaha thanks for your entry and good luck in the contest lol
-
i like that! i guess that's why it's called "blind optimism"
-
im sorry but this really isn't one line. I'm going to DQ this from the contest.
I really do like this piece, it kinda makes me glad i'm not always as optimistic as i should be.
anyway, thanks. linzi -

I am quite agitated right now. I have to disagree, it may be layed out on several lines, but in actuality is one complete thought/sentence/line. I will remove it.

it is one line/thought...some people can be so picky!

YIKES! You burst my optimistic bubble! lol... a fine write and comes with a smile of truth.

Ah, yes I see a pragmatic realist here. Never fear there is still hope for us. Love what you have done with just 15 words.

I have argued incessantly with poets who don't see the "light" This makes a new coined quote from you! Yet, I don't really think you are truly a pessimist. Just a frustrated human, and voicing your deep thoughts through the world of poetry. I reach across miles of sea, to say I have always been an optimist, with a realistic view on our world and all its' faults. Are you really a pessimist? Or would verbal activist better describe you?

This is very strong... but as a person who prefers blind optimism as opposed to... anything else... I stick my tongue out at you XP
My own personal feelings aside... this is a strong and powerful piece, especially for being so short. You did a fantastic job. -
On the third line i think the first 'to' is meant to say 'too'. Regardless of that, i think this is really good. Short and sweet but definitely true i think! Great message in it =] x
