Inner thoughts stolen,
plagiarized words-
left me feeling violated,
quite perturbed.
Copied then pasted,
confused, upset, disturbed.
Degradation plagued by defilement,
not at all what I deserve...

Hello :)
Welcome to the POW!
Well.....I have to disagree a tad, with your other Judges......as I feel there is more to this than a mere 8 short lines ~
Your emotions are deep.....your Tone has many areas of concerning thoughts and your ability to find a subject and pin-point it in only a few words is clever.....not advised, but clever :)
I felt strength and I felt loss in your words.......it is truly a shame when those who are less fortunate to have a voice, have to steal the voice of another ~
Yet, as trista has mentioned, such a short write does not give us much to go on, for each category of critique we use for your scoreborad......so with that said.....good luck and God bless you!
Bear ~
Title 8.8....cliche'...a nice metaphore would have been nice to see -
Flow 9.85..not bad, but with what we have to read, this does not allow us to see what you are truly capable of -
Depth 9.85....lots of depth......for me......with only a fwew words -
Theme 7.5....this Theme has been done numerous times -
Feelings 9.4...I woud have liked to of seen more info -
Grammar 9.1...simple....yet affective -
Presentation 7.5....not really anything to base this score on, except one short stanza -
Uncommonness 7.5....this has been done too many times on AP in general -
Sit & Ponder Affect 9.3...I did ponder...briefly -
Ability to follow Rules 10...perfect from what I can see -
Bears Score: 88.8
Not bad ~
Bring us something more and watch your score soar!
No editing once a Judge has touched your work ~

Hi there, and welcome to the POW.
I wish I had more to offer you in way of a critique, but unfortunately I have to agree with my co-judges...still, there are some areas I think will score pretty well despite the length. No sense repeating...so I'll let my scores speak the rest...
Good luck and best wishes,
~J. -
I'm afraid I have to echo the others on this.....
This is lovely - for one of those short, quickie contests that limits wording. I really like this, but because of the length....it limits the impact, images and emotion.
Rules followed nicely, I like your title.
** No editing once a judge has commented.
My scores will appear with final remarks. Best to you in the contest!

Hi and welcome to the POW as I see now all the rules have been followed now on to your poem. This poem was rather short usually less is more but this could of been much longer as I am sure there is much more feeling from this but other then that it is a good piece just wanted more of it.My score will be sent it and posted at the closing of the contest goodluck

Hi, and welcome to the POW! Good to have you here!
Not the most unique theme I've seen, but a good one. Your write is clean and concise, and expresses its meaning well.
My one concern is that it is so short!
There is much room to explore feelings here, and
I am left wanting to hear more. I have to agree with Islekine on this one.
My scores will appear with final remarks. Best to you in the contest!
Remember, no editing once a judge has commented! -
Aloha and welcome!
This is a lovely poem...but I think it should have been pointed out...that we expect..more...creativity,
impact, power, etc. This is one long sentence...and
it is not at all unique...the poem would do well in other contests...however this will probably not score really high here....would love to see you and your talents back....with a bit more imagery, impact and power....Best wishes in the contest! My scores will appear in final notes.
Write on!

Your title needs to be in the poem backwards.
Why is this all one huge sentence?
Oo
And.. I don't know how unique this theme is- I've seen it too many times before.
It's still a good poem though- I'm just being my usual critical self.
Good job and good luck

I like your word choices, descriptive of the mental turmoil you must have gone through. "Defilement" is an especially good word for it.

D: gah, I hate plagiarism...I sometimes wonder why people just can't write their own work v-v; I liked it though, good luck in the contest
