i will reply to your piece...
when did i say that this site needs more talented writters?...i know that this board has a good deal of talent that is loyal to the board. look at the first four replies that i have on this thread though, in my opinion, this verse deserved more feedback than "i smoke cigerettes"....
personaly, i dont waste the time to reply on a piece unlesss;
1: it was outstanding, and i am giving compliments to it...or
2: i see room for improvement in the piece...then i point that out.

if i came off as an ass then forgive me, but really, does it make sence for a open mic piece to get slept on?.,....hell no...
look at what it says right below open mic in the main section..."drop a piece....get critiqued"
