Poem
Out of a million people, i am individual.
Out of a million people singing something already written, I will compose my own symphony, and be one in a million.

i like your poem err... it's almost epical in it's form. the refrain reveals an echoing lively tone. the poem outlines the issue of identity, not forgetting the we are all individuals even within the collective human race. good work.

This poem flows so beautifully and effortlessly I didn't even notice it didn't rhyme (which I like a lot in poems). It's a concept a lot of people have written about, but yours in unique and followed through with perfectly. I don't have any complaints! Great job!

It's actually interesting. For our swap, you asked me to read this. This is the one I wanted to read. Just two things I might change: Instead of touched, kissed. Other wise I envision couples literally touching other's lips. :) Also, the last sentence. I'm not sure if this is allowed in poetry, I am still learning, but the final word may be more powerful after [:} or a [.] and then capitalize "M." So either "....voice: mine." or "...voice. Mine." Just to add to the unveiling, as it were, of who is the unique one. Very clever, very simple! It get's the reader on a roll of thinking "How am I one in a million. What makes me special." That is a powerful message. I will be picking this!--RinProtected
This. Is. Incredible. I loved the flow and rhthym of it all, it suits the poem perfectly. It's totally awesome! Wow. This is great. I'm never usually a sucker for poems, but this is picked!Rachel

Obersvations of a modest poet.Good poem, I love the concept of individualism and how well you portray it. I do think however that in the last stanza the word "future" seems a little out of place as "pencils" and "pupils" sound so similar. Instead of changing the word "future" it could work if you either changed "pencils" or "pencils". Also, perhaps the best so that you do not lose any of you original work, you could move the line "Breath-taking voices heard by a million pupils" and switch it out with "Beautiful melodies composed by a million futures" so the last stanza would read"Inspiring lyrics written by a million pencilsBeautiful melodies composed by a million futuresBreath-taking vioces heard by a million pupilsA song sang by one voice, mine."Great poem though, i look forward to reading the rest of your work=========================================================13=========================================================

The concept and the whole meaning behind it is just completely beautiful and I love it. I agree wtih sammy_ash that the repetition of the "million" does make it seem very poetic which is good because this is, after all, poetry. The only thing I'd say to pay more attention to would be how the poem moves, certain word choices with too many syllables could throw this off and make it feel slightly disconnected.But all in all, good work!♥

I REALLY like this. When writing free verse, its always good to have a repition of some sort, to make it "poetic". You wrote this very well, great work!
I really like it. The repetition reitterated the individuality of the speaker. Well done.~Remi

I like this, Casey. It's so simple, but original and that makes it absolutely gorgeous, which explains why everyone here has only nice things to say about it. Also I don't think it's going to lose its rank. :D keep me updated on your writing, please. Great job.

I love the repetitive line"A song sang by one voice"But the last word "mine" Diddnt seem to flow well with it but other than that i love it so much[:
wow great poem, this truely shows talent. I love how you used 'million' in this because it is true. almost a million things happen in life and its a bit (i don't know really =]). I love the title and your picture and the whole poem is great =]Steph Burton

very nice, it all goes together very well. i love how you say something in millions, and then a song sang by one voice. i think lots of people can relate to this, keep up the good work!
wrote 141 days ago
This has a very consistent flow, and i love how you say all these things that happen/are in millions, then at the end of each stanza, you add; "a song sang by one voice" and of course, the end one "A song sang by one voice, mine."This was very relatable and thats what i like in poetry
wow! This is really inspiring1 i love it =))
I LOVE IT, YOU REALLY SPEAK UP IN THIS POEM.MORE STARS FOR YOU *************
This is so good. Enjoyable and a nice message - definitely in the running for my Sunday poem picks

Oh...nice!I can feel the person's sense of individuality shining through the publics overlapping face. Amazing! I love the lines "Fertile soil touched by a million boots/Fresh apples picked by a million children/blooming flowers recieved by a million mothers/a song sang by one voice" The imagery is powerful in this poem and i could genuinely see the world you described. I also love the ending to each of the stanzas with "a song sang by one voice" It just is so pure and beautufl. Wow, absoluetly amazing!What a faboulus message to send over this poem!Cheers!

This is such a beautiful poem... I really feel like this could be a song, it's extremely inspirational... amazing work :)
Love the repetition of "one in a million"-- and then in the end, the abrupt: mine. This is a really cool idea, you did a lovely job with it!
sorry it took me so long everyone in the house has stomach bug but me and they all need my help.lol anyway one in a million is awesome. i like the theme, i will put on my watch list
wrote 145 days ago
I would do it, a song sang by one voice:Minebut thats me. other than that, it's really good.

I really like the message of your poem, one in a million. Everyone is one in a million, and I love the contrast between a million people hearing your message to your one person speaking it. Millions of people do the same thing as everyone else, everyday, but hardly any of those voices or actions are heard or noticed. Great use of imagery and repetition, really speaks wonders of your work.Keep up the great writing and I know your voice will be heard by all very soon :)
I love how you've taken one thing (like apples) and applied it to everyone. And, how everything ties into a song. Beautiful. I also like the themes to each stanza, love, family, sense. It's all structured beautifully.Very well done! Picks!
Oh I love the nice flow of this!!!I love the one-in-a-million examples, awesome cover BTW...my mom is a photography freak!

Love the imagery, really very beautiful :) nice flow too, not disjointed like some poems i've read/written! well done :)
I read it the first time and didn't get it. Now I get it! Each time you end the stanza with the same line, except in the end when you declare your own shining resonance, MINE. And each stanza follows up with the first line in comparison. Wow. This is very good :) Adding to my watch list :)
