Skye Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 GAH! I was reading thorugh the poem of the day thread, and a poem popped in my brain. I almost said head, but that would have rymed... gah! Don't have a title for this one. You told her no She followed you home You slammed the door In her picture perfect face She kept on coming Following you everywhere And when you asked her why this is what she said You've got a good home You've got a good life Why can't I be a part Of it? You say you're generous You say you give to charity But if thats true then why Won't you talk to me? He avoided her day and night He tried to make her leave But everytime he said no She would say the same thing You've got a good home You've got a good life Why can't I be a part Of it? You say you're generous You say you give to charity But if thats true then why Won't you talk to me? How is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 [SIZE=1][COLOR=SlateGray]Very nice poem, callmegoddess04. I like the style that you've written it in. Also, the feeling it gives off through out the poem; from start to end. I think you've done a great job on both of the two's personalities, and that the girl...Really does want to be apart of the boy's life. But there is a bit of a flaw in your grammar in the line; But if thats true then why Won't you talk to me? You could have added a bit more effect of wanting with the girl saying why at then end of the sentence and then at the begging of the question. Plus "thats" should actually be "that's" For the compound word of "that is."...But both flow very nicely within your poem. [/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share Posted May 11, 2004 Wow, thanks Ruby. I'm very glad you like it. ^_^; Typo. Thats all. Yeah, that was kind of what i wanted to imply in it. I'm glad someone liked it enough to comment! I Am I have no explanation For what I'm meant to be I have no obligation Of how I'm to proceed I only know I'm here for good Or at least until I die For when you take a good look You?ll see it in my eyes I am because I'm meant to be I am because Of sincerity No one can tear me down I will live long enough to cry But I am because I am I won?t try to explain to you Or even try to find Who else I could be now or then Or to whom I will confide My life is mine, yet not at all I am who I should be I will let life takes its course And take its toll on me I am because I stand up tall I am because I will not fall No one can tear me down I will live long enough to be But I am because I am me You don't know hwo long it took me to do that one. The beats kinda off, and the rymes.. ugh. I still like it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Well, yeah, you could've done better with the rhyming, but the message it sends is pretty good once you understand it.The beat [i]does[/i] need to be fixed, as it seems a bit... hmm... choppy. It's short though, so I like it! The first one flowed pretty well, even if i didn't rhyme, though I think you could have made it a bit longer... or maybe I'd just like to see it longer. Whatever. Your style is very literal, witch can be a good thing because they're easier to understand when a poem is literal. Nice job over-all.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
