I Haven't Posted In Here Before.. I Have Taken One Of My Poems That I Have Posted In Teen and I Would Like You To Comment On It.. Thank you in Advance...

The Aussie Word Spinner

I’m the word spinner, the Aussie wonder
And I write the poems that pull you under.
My long brown hair lies upon my face
My life seems shattered and fragile like lace

Let me take you back when my skirt was short and I barley wore attire
I wanted to let go of life but I was too young to retire
I’m going to take you on one hell of a journey from America to Australia
Here you’ll learn all there is about me and why I’m afraid of failure

So Sit down be quite you have nothing to lose
Your in my capture now and it’s your blood I will let ooze
It’s my pain that’s eating me away and theirs nothing you can do
Except sit here silently hoping I wont hurt you

Your not to blame for how I feel
I just need somebody to help me heal
A soul so evil will leave your life a mess
As your blood dries the pain from my body so lifeless

If you were there to help me when I asked for it
I wouldn’t be in a million pieces and all shattered to bits
I would be happy with my life and ready to be alive
I wouldn’t be alone of a Friday night; I’d be having lessons on jive

I’m the word spinner, the Aussie wonder
And I write the poems that pull you down under
Its now time for me to dine
You’re my victim and Revenge Will Be Mine

Well, to be honest, you never get into the meat of the thing. I can see this as a humorous intro to a book or something, but ultimately your character seems more interested in boasting that she's had a more horrible life than you, the non-defined reader, has. That's a recipe for trading horror stories about whose life is worse.

It'll begin with "Oh yeah, you think that's bad, well . . ."

Is that where you want to go?

That is beyond too wordy. It is ultra wordy. A gigantic stumbling block, if you will.

Always read your poems out loud 3-5 times before posting them, saves us busy work.

Valedictions,

Somehow, I can live with that criticism.

But, honestly, show where we're wrong.

Rev, excuse me I was laughing so about 93 I can hardly type. I think you have a good idea ; but to write that

kind of humor it has to rhyme. There were some lines that are funny.
