NashvilleDream Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 ofcourse, it could be untitled because I write the poem ant then title it and I wrote it 5 minutes ago and have yet to think of a title............. {EDIT: Oh dear! I seem to have forgotten to type a rating T_T If someone could please change it to E.........} There are days when I feel That I have a heart of stone; There are times when I feel Totally out' the zone; There are nights when I think I'm so lonely I could die; There are days when I stare At the world pass me by. I see everyone As they bass by me, "Go on ahead" I say As if it doesn't hurt me. I've spent my life Staring at backs, I just can't grow up Quite that fast. All the world spins; All the world but me. Everyone's movin'; Everyone but me. Am I doomed to stay here Out of thought and memory? Will I spend my days here Far away from me? "I can't go with you" I told them as they went; "Wait for me up there will you" I said, nearly spent. I don't know if they're there, I have a long way yet to travel; I've got my life to go through, I tread the dusty road in search of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But here's some criticism. Your rhyme scheme. For the most part, your rhyme scheme is scattered and broken. When the rhymes to appear, they're basically just repeated words " here" and "here." I feel that if you were to either disregard the rhymes or improve them so as to make them an official pattern in the poem, then perhaps it would have a steady rhythm to it that would allow an easier and more enjoyable read.

NashvilleDream Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 this, like most of my poems, was a spur-of-the-moment type thing, so they could all use a bit of... shall we say, help. Thanks, I'll try to fix it... somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
