My critique :
water, water, everywhere by neonsquiggle

Questions:

1)  I didn't really go about writing with a conclusive idea in mind; it was basically redirected inspiration.  Does this poem seem a bit pointless?

2)  Why or why not?

3)  How do you stop yourself from feeling like you're a danger to other people?  (If you have had this experience)

1 and 2) The concept, in my opinion, is clear, concise, and well explained throughout this piece. It doesn't seem pointless to me considering the fact that it's about a beautiful girl who is elusive, and I think some people can relate to this.

3) I stop myself from feeling like I am a danger to others by simply stop believing I am. I treat others with the respect they give me and generally stay away from violent confrontation.

For the rest of the poem, I like the first stanza and how you accurately say that electrons can't be pinpointed exactly; their location can only be guessed. In lines five and six, you use single quotation marks, which is grammatically incorrect. You only use single quotation marks when they are inside of double quotation marks. For example, "She said, 'I like cookies'. " I am quoting someone who said they like cookies, so their dialogue goes in single quotation marks.

The second stanza is well-written and has good imagery. I like how you described this girl as a splinter. Very intriguing.

In the second to last two lines you use a dash, which is grammatically incorrect. You should only use dashes to connect similar sentences or to elaborate on a portion of a sentence. For example, "My aunt--a successful baker--found her mother's recipes" or "That night, a horrendous crime had been committed--murder". I would remove the dash so that those lines flow better.

Overall, a fairly good piece. It could use some tweaking, but nothing major. I like the concept and your use of imagery is good and descriptive. Good job.
