All Comments on 'Definitions'

I like how you pulled it all together with that last stanza.

Great last stanza- that made the whole poem! I also liked the way you defined your terms- interesting definitions.

how some can't seem to comprehend the meaning of these basic emotions or because they simply choose not to.

I like how you pulled all the definitions into an emotional idea and gathered it nicely at that last stanza without a stray word.

Good idea, economically expressed with a strong ending. I wondered why you omitted "Hate"

...your words go right to the heart of things. I could feel the emotions almost jumping off the page at me. Very nice.

what a great and unique idea... i absoluetly loved it!

LJ, this is really deep,. really good, and your descriptions are excellent. It is so hard to describe feelings without sounding fake or sappy, but you did an excellent job! enjoyed reading this one ;)

As others have said, nice twist to the way you put this together.

A list poem that works for unexpected reasons.
