It Is The Worst Feeling29 total reviews
Comment from Julcia
Most impressive! I'm very glad I chose to read your poem. I am new to
Fan Story and have little ability to read my favorite poets at this time. Why?
I am a babe in the Fan Story woods. I am respectful of your talent .
Rejection is a wonderful example of well honed work. Your choice of
artwork is a perfect example of powerful art. It certainly enhances your
poem. I feel fortunate to have happened on it so early on. Consider
me your fan,

Awesome! Welcome to FanStory, Julcia. Although I have been a member for a couple years, I've been most active in the last couple months. I appreciate the time you took to read, review and rate this work. Thanks for your insight and thoughtful review.

Dear Seville,
You are most welcome.

That's an excellent Tanka with wise advice. It also would have been good in the Life Lessons contest. You present a good message in both the Tanka and the notes. Well done.

Such wise advice you offer here. I think your author notes are an excellent addition to your poem, which is good except for the last word. It seemed to me, if you followed your author notes, bitter would not be the end result. More likely you would be full of self respect and pride in your accomplishments, don't you think? Obviously you are very wise and bright and capable. Other people's ignorance or misconduct do not change who you are. Christ was rejected and scorned, even killed, but never did He bow his head in shame. Neither should we, no matter how we may be treated. Thanks for this most thought-provoking poem. I enjoyed it. MM

This is a very well written poem you have penned about rejection. You used very good descriptive words and very interesting imagery from the art work you chose. I am thankful to the One who did not reject me and loves me despite me. love and blessings, Teri

Your tanka contest entry is in great form, Seville.
I enjoyed reading it. I like the two color font and
the image. Your words are well thought our and
so true. As your notes say, never let others define you.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

Oh, your poem is so sad! I love how you express resentment and hate towards the people or thing that has hurt/wounded you. Brilliant poem and image.

Your notes probably deserve a six star rating. I didn't expect the last line of your poem to be at odds with your notes. Possibly the poem is about some other person.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
We've all suffered rejection at one time or another. For me, it was in high school - I thought that was the way my life was going to play out. I was wrong.
This is a nice Tanka poem about something we seem to all deal with; hopefully, most of us come to realize it is THEIR way of making themselves feel as though they belong.

Rejection hurts. However, it was never to be. Rejection can sometimes save your life. Or, it can save you from misery. I feel our life has already been planned. We need to let things flow, because we will not be with someone
if they were not in God's Journal. He knew what was best all along. Thank you for your awareness. This was a great poem and the picture fits perfectly. Have a great day.

This is moving. The picture you have chosen is perfect, it is so sad, so haunting. You mentioned an important topic - rejection - something most of us can relate to. I wish you good luck during your contest.
