Flashlight Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Here's my latest poem. Please give as much criticism as you can offer. Be brutal, I'm always looking to improve! :) --------------- Is It Right? Standing alone under the Moonlight I wonder if what I?ve done is right Wondering now what you think of me How you?re going to react to me When you see what I?ve done Seeing the I did not run My bloodied hands Reach up And touch your face Wiping away a tear What I did was right You always told me to put up a fight Here I am In the rain Screaming away the pain I was always the quiet one The shy one Just having my fun To everyone I was perfect They would find Me in the perfect state of mind But you saw What they did not see You shattered my mask And suddenly I was naked To you Imperfect to you Finally real to you! Now I wonder what your going to think of my How you?re going to react to me And, when my life floods the floor, Are you going to help? Others tried to break my mask Get through the wall And see it all But they went about it All the wrong way Now I don?t even know if I?m here to stay! Once they saw That they could not break through They started Picking on me Trying in inflict pain upon me And making my life a living hell And so I took my stand Like you told me too I fought back And now I wish That everything Could be perfect again Now I?m in a rut As I hold my gut And my life floods the floor Who knew that it would end like this? That life was fragile like this? Everything?s going dark My hands are numb And I only wish you would come Into my arms again I can feel your warmth Your touch against my skin And I can feel your tears And a vision of all your fears Here we are Living a nightmare Life is so unfair Then again, Isn?t it supposed to be? Nothing matters now I never committed a crime But I hold you tight For the very last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
island gurl Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 hmm....i like it. I don't like the bit that goes; Now i'm in a rut as i hold my gut It doesn't really flow and it doesn't make much sense at all apart from that a very good poem.

vegeta rocker Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I have a problem with the flow of words. I usually decide if a poem rhymes in the beginning or not. With yours i wasn't sure if it was suppossed to or not. Some pieces sounded like you were trying to rhyme while others just went at their own pace. So yeah......flow. A bit of grammer too. Nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitto Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 You need to have some rhythm to the writing. In the part where it says: Here I am In the rain Screaming away the pain it should be Here I am In the rain Screaming away the blinding pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
