Dude! Talk about deep! I loved it! I also love Mikey angst! You rock!

oh, wow, what an awesome ficlet/poem. Very well done... I'm extremely impressed. I love how you see Mikey, not just a goof but with a serious, darker side to him too. this is exactly how i picture him. please keep writing, i love your style!

really good... mikey is my fav turtle and i luve reading stuff about him!

Wow, that was an awesome poem. You are very talented. And I happen to love Mikey, so that made it even better.

Very cool. )

whoa...that's great! poor Mike though! great job writing this though!

Oh wow! That was great! I've never been good at poetry, so it always impresses me when others are. You're right, it does read more like rap, but considering they're teenage outcasts of NY it really works. I couldn't really hear it in Mikey's voice...it reminded me more of "Turtle Power" from the 1st movie. I don't do much w/ Mikey angst, but you did it really well! I'd love to read more...maybe one for each turtle? That would be awsome! Loved your writing!

Omigosh! Awesome! I'm so amazed by how perfectly the rhythem(sp?)flowed and everything rhymed.

You really got down into Mike's head. Gosh, I just wanna go give him a big 'ol hug. I can relate to what he was feeling in your poem. About hiding behind a mask, not being a mutant, of course. You did a great job, this is going straight to my fave's list.

This was exceptionally done!

I loved the quick flow and the words that you used were perfect. It really describes the fun loving prankster that is Mike, who does his best to cheer the others up.

Loved the line about the two masks that he wears, and the last line of I can't always and thats when I close my eyes.

You did wonderful with this. I must add it to my favourites an my C2 file.

Brilliant, Ramica, and I read it as rap, too, and it works.

I don't like rap, but this one I like,

so it goes with out saying I like your poem about Mike!

:0) And ode to your skills as a poet, m'dear.

In either event, it's true; the clown laughs to hide his tears. AH, now if ever there was a title to a story about Mike's 'other mask', there it is and I give it to you, if you so choose to run with it - or not, but either way, you do Mike so very well, ya know.

Great job!

Be blessed,
