Paula Said:

Creative writing class poem. Help please?!?

We Answered:

AHAHAHAHA! I am laughing, and I shouldn't, but... I am anyways.

The idea you have - I loved it. Your quotes, and word usage, loved that to.

But But But...

Did you notice how the poem, when you look at it visually, looks like stairs? That is a sure sign that you have changed your meter (syllables per line) - and increased them as the poem went on. This is... quite distracting to read, no matter how well (how well? quite well! (back-handed compliment)) your word usage is.

There are poems that don't rhyme, and those that do. If you chose to rhyme, then... meter becomes quite important. I suggest ellipses - that is the poet's tool to make lines that are not grammatically correct, still work. Like so - here - I have made the poem... have meter (plus or minus a few syllables, but who's counting?) Read it out loud. Seriously - read it out loud, then read the original.


Strike a match and burn this night away.
Trust yourself in this, a world so cold.
Tomorrow’s never promised; live today.
And don't forget the silence - it is gold.

Stand your ground, and take some time to heal.
Accept the who-you-are, wear it with pride
Ignore all those who say, “Love isn’t real”.
Forget the facts; use instincts as your guide.

Take these long lonely days and make them yours.
Don’t quit because it seems a futile fight;
Believe that when it rains it also pours.
The stars can lift you out of darkest night.

Don't take for granted; prepare for the worst.
An eye for an eye makes the entire world blind.
Expect some disappointment and some hurt;
Don't sweat the world's eye, and you’ll turn out fine.

Your baby blue’s - keep wide, like open sky.
Don’t tolerate being rushed, life’s not a race.
Keep your mind full of wonder and ask, “Why?”
You’re never wrong when heart’s in the right place.

And when you’ve sung your final song in Hell,
Your soul will soar beside Angels of Death,
These horrid memories known all to well.
Mind sorrows, eyes tear lungs of their last breath.

Well - it's not perfect. but...

And the guy above me is right - you have talent - I've no doubt of that. But - my dear - learn to read aloud what you've written - and any problems will stutter out at you.

Nice poem!
