what do you mean cliché? there is no such thing as that in poetry, unless the person who wrote the poem used it from someone else, who used it from someone else…and so on..but you are too critical..and f888ing weird. right a poem. itll probably suk @$$.

and to the person who wrote the poem, its good., honestly, it is

Don’t you mean “write” a poem?

Of course a poem can be cliche. Don’t be an idiot.

You have poor taste.

Cliche isn’t plagiarism, you fools. Cliche means it’s been done before. It’s not creative. It’s all been said. For God’s sake you wrote “Your love … is better than gold” which is in the Bible - Song of Songs! And what about “never let her go”? You sure you’ve never heard or read that anywhere before?

But I don’t blame you. Love poetry is impossible to write without cliche, which is why Shakespeare spoofed it with his anti-love sonnets (”anti” being used in its proper meaning as “the opposite of” not “against”; just had to make it clear since some people don’t understand words). But then what am I talking about? I’m sure you’ve never willingly or voluntarily read Shakespeare.

And by the way, my criticism is pretty darn constructive considering all of the poems posted on Help.com are crap. I’m saying that your poem in particular is very run-of-the-mill, and no-one wants to be that. Do something different man. What’s stopping you? Why do you have to regurgitate everything from teen movies and what you see on Smallville?
