Position:Home>Poetry> The Day Dave Died. Can someone suggest something?Question:The day Dave died Dave died today, a stain Sour, lost and in vain He was glued to his chain It was clearly inhumane. As a nerd, Dave remained mundane He once tried to explain That he had jumped on a moving train He had said that it was so urbain But clearly it was so inane Much so that he was insane More so that he was champagne His mouth, a campaign. The allure of the arcane In Dave, sounded like pain For Dave had a brain Which was that of a constrain Much though he did deign That the world was of his reign More though was Dave the bane That was of the sane. Dave liked to do cocaine He said it was the main Although he did not refrain All he did was detain. The falling rain Showed it's disdain At the funeral of that remain I did though from the funeral abstain Trying to obtain A court ordered refrain In case of the preordain Of a macabre feign.

I have reread this three times. While you have some great thoughts and images liked "glued to his chain," the reptition of the same rhyme throughout the whole poem not only detracted but after awhile infringed because it became clear that many were forced. The main themes in this poem I see are addiction, inability to break away and relationship souring. To me I would take that great line "glued to his chain" and develop from there. Rhyme if you like, just mix it up more. I have a feeling you listen to and/or enjoy a lot of rap music. This could be really good as a rap piece I think with all the repetitive same sounding rhymes. I began to really get the message of the piece after about the 3rd reading so I can see this has taken a great deal of work and thought and purpose. Each line and word has been chosen meticulously and I applaud your work. This style of rhyming doesn't work well as a poem because it's too repetitive but put to music, in rap style, this could be impressive. You're good at using words but I don't know what you were trying to say. And I wouldn't want to, guess again. I'll leave it to the experts. |
