the poem's not bad.

it just gets repetitive though. perhaps if you move your better verses to the end it'd be a better read.
She does not seem
And does not squint
And does not flare
And does not hint.
this seems to be your weakest verse. in all your other verses, the actions of the subject are related(ex: see-hear, pick-choose), but in this one, they don't seem to be.

Adding on, the poem has pretty decent meter. :)

Meter's pretty easy when all you use are one-syllable words. :?

Oh wait, she had one two-syllable word.

Hmm... interesting for a first draft... it doesn't seem like you ever give the girl a specific personality though. Maybe you could talk about what she does do...

That was sort of the point. A who poem of one-syllabled words...sounds better when read...English major, huh?

Downwithpants, thanks for the advice. Yeah, I agree that that verse didn't relate much nor make so much sense. I'll have to change it.

Anyone can do poetry with one-syllable words. My little brother could pull of something as simple as that. And one-syllable words don't mean the poetry is bad, it takes a real poet to make a great poem with simple words, but yours wasn't good. :?

Don't try to think about it too much, it'll only confuse you.

But alas, nothing can confuse the great one-syllabler.
