As I am grabbing at my distant goal
on the very end of a fishing pole..
I am accomplishing nothing.

Hey, I love the first two lines...very original...never would have thought of a fishing pole...but i can feel the frustration in trying to grab something at the end of it. and not accomplishing anything! and i just like the first line "...grabbing at the distant goal" good write! and good luck
-
Interesting. I like it.
-
-
That's it? It doesn't make you feel anything?
-
-
Not really. The last line perhaps. Who hasn't felt like that?
-
-
I'm just guessing that you're ever a love sappy poet or emo cutting poet. Either way, bad taste.
-
-
Well.. I don't know. I like to think I'm fairly rounded.
Not really sure why you want to start something.
I hope you have a good night. -
-
not started anything, I say give everyone a chance.
-
-
Well that certainly is a good thing to say and precisely what everyone has.

Author's name to author's notes. And explaination of the poem. (What inspired it, what it means, etc.) All of this was said somewhere on the contest page.
Interesting concept. I like it. Very different and meaningful. {Even in such few words.} Thanks for entering.

I believe that the poem speaks for itself and it doesn't need any further explanation to what it's about
-
-
Fair enough. But I'd like to know what inspired it and what it means to you. Stuff like that. I just want an idea.
-
-
there, I put it in the notes
-
-
Thank you.

An interesting twist to the prompt.
Well done, nevertheless. Good luck, dear poet
