Continuation of time

I was gone three years
Then my whole life was changed,
So I cried some tears
And became re-arranged.

A smile on her face
And the saddened skies shine,
I'm all out of place,
The continuation of time.

Free of my burden
As this spark becomes fire,
To light up the room
I can see my desire.

A girl who shows care
And a new meaning to love,
So how did I bare
Not seeing this dove?

I have read this. I find it interesting, yet not quite intriguing. I suggest a lesser number of commas and more strategic use of punctuation. Overuse tends to make a poem hard to stand reading, which this evidently suffers from.

Final opinion: Interesting. Use punctuation more strategically.

probably one of the better review's i've heard in my time. However the engilsh language (though I am english) doesn't come to me naturally, so if you could explain what i did wrong and perhaps use my poem, but re-structure it, i could learn? Thanks!

Dungeon Master

I believe he means that you use a comma after almost every line. A comma isn't necessary unless you want to make the reader pause.

I've seen much better from you, I must say. The word choices are a bit boring and there really isn't anything in terms of interesting imagery or metaphors either. I'd say the third stanza is my favorite.... hmmm well I guess the 4th stanza isn't too bad either. If you still wanted to work on this poem, imo, the first stanza is completely useless and only detracts from the poem -- so I'd cut that out and write a new stanza altogether... or massively edit it.

Yeah the poem sort of started to get new meaning as i wrote it, there was more inbetween and afterwards, but i cut them out, I will make an edited version sometime later. I didn't think this was my best work, but in all honesty it's probably one of my only happy pieces ever made, in my defense :P

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
