Description implied this would be funny. I only saw a poem, can't say if bad or good, as I don't like poetry.

Bravo sir!! :yay:

A lovely poem.

The feels are strong in this one.

I don’t really think the description implied that. If it was meant to be funny, TWP would probably put a “Comedy” tag up...

A heartfilled poem smudged on Spike's arm...hopefully he doesn't read any of the words wrong!

hopefully he doesn't read any of the words wrong!

That lil part right there implied comedy. I was disappointed when I found none, I admit, but I did not touch the Like/Dislike bar. Not gonna dislike something just because it wasn't what I expected.

Changed it...though I'm sorry that you don't like poems in the first place.

Definitely not what I expected, but I still enjoyed it.

Oh, fair enough. I think I only say the description after it was changed to what it is now. I guess the previous description does imply comedy a bit more...

Very nicely written, capturing Spike's feeling very well. I just wish I knew how it resolved.

... Well, that story is now in the Sparity group.

What can I say about this?

Well, first of all, that was great. Best poetry I've seen on this site. It came off as sincere, not pretentious, so I think you nailed that. But...

It felt too long. The rambly nature of it was endearing, and yeah, these are Spike's thoughts, they don't necessarily have to be coherent, but that's not all it is: it's also a poem that you wrote. I think it's a valid interpretation that Spike is so broadly and completely consumed by his love for Rarity that any attempt to put into words his feelings for her are futile and will end in at least slight confusion (see quote below).

In my waking moments of a muse, that just a glance
Can cause my heart to pour evermore my feelings,
As many words that number a thousand from just sight alone,
Of your smile and eyes, until this night is done.

But the text as a whole does not quite convince me. It seems too verbose, not focused enough, with the final three paragraphs standing out as quite concise, as the reigning in of Spike's thoughts. My two cents, I suppose. Overall it's still great.

I really appreciate the critique. While there's a sort of charm in how amateurish and thus "sincere" it is, I do agree that the beauty of poetry is their concise yet evocative nature.

This was a very nice poem, for Rarity and Spike no less. I wish that there were more, but alas. This had emotion all of the way through it, and actually had me feeling like I was reading it as Rarity. It does tend to ramble a tad, but the nature of it being written by Spike, not being a professional writer, makes it sincere and also heartfelt. Well done.
