Position:Home>Poetry> Is this a good poem?...?Question:Sitting.Watching.Waiting.Thinking.Merely existing. Time passes by his now jaded view, that of an old oak. His roots sink deeper than our minds can ever outstretch into space. He's been down the road aplenty (sp?),memorizing every crevice of every pebble. The rings of his trunk cannot be counted. As time passes by his now jaded view, he watches. As new scenes unfold, he waits. As events take place, he thinks. As time passes, he merely exists. As the clock tics, he sits. -Ambrya Mack Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Sitting.Watching.Waiting.Thinking.Merely existing. Time passes by his now jaded view, that of an old oak.

And you made it a great poem... Keep on writing.. Is it about the oak tree or the man? kinda cool That was really good! It defines age so well. Great job! If you had a title like The Ancient Oak I think it would help your reader to understand the beginning of this poem. If not, then Time passes by its long jaded view (this old oak) and change the his, he's etc. to its I'm not sure how a tree can go down the road And pebbles don't have crevices, they are smooth and round. ....touching and memorizing every pebble If you are actually talking about a man, then you cannot have the rings of his trunk. Apart from that this is a nice, neat little poem. I like it Well, most pebbles don't have crevices. But it's a good little poem. However, I can't tell if you're talking about the oak or an old man sitting by it. I still like it. lol! |
