I live inside an empty world,
my destiny has been unfurled,
I've spoke the solitary pledge,
heartbreak's pushed me off the edge

I'm the girl without location,
I wallow in my isolation
And I'd live life all on my own,
I'm not like every other clone

So I can't catch your "love" disease,
no warmth can melt me from my freeze
Call me a freak, I'm on display,
I've ended up there anyway

So what? I capitalize my i's,
and I'm not tricked by foolish lies,
You're an oyster, I'm the pearl,
the one and only: bubble girl

The presentation is wonderful!
Wind - the talent you possess...
is to be admired.

And I do.

I like seeing you getting "out of the box"
and dancing on top!

Wind?

This is just wonderful...

You took a style of word-sculpt and then rhymed it--and the result is simple and wistful and real to the ear.

I love this--like a sing-song chant of a schoolgirl with a punch.

I also stand up applauding your critique message.  Writing from the head is nothing to be ashamed of, Elizabeth.  In fact, hearing this really gives me a lot more respect for you.

This poem is really neat - especially all the "bubbles" you put at the start and the end.  A bubble is a neat idea to describe yourself.  A pocket of air, with a thin, delicate outside, but otherwise essentially the same on the inside.

Neato---loved the formatting, too.  You could have gotten around rhyming with "world" and that second sorta-cliche line.  Otherwise the writing is really clever and light-toned and I can appreciate that.

I'm going to keep a closer eye on your writing.  You're quite the young poet, Liz.

at first.

GG- glad it brought you joy...although this wasn't an out of the box..the style and the mood are both mine..did it seem happy? because if it did, I will change it, it wasn't intended to. Thanks for reading Ethel Mae, now go post your unhappy poem

Meg- glad you 'dug' it hehe. imagine what it would be like to live in a bubble...

Love your critique msg...and I love your poem...I don't think I could burst your bubble by saying I don't like this..cos I do like it now how corny was that!? lol

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.
