I think yours is very good. You could add more sensory details though so listeners have a movie camera of sights, sounds, tastes etc. playing in their head while they read/listen to this awesome poem. Good job! I see you there watching me, worried and upset you rush over to scoop me up then tell me to rest. Where does the blood come from? A cut? What cut you? How did it cut you? Check your spelling and punctuation and you'll have a very good poem. It's not sucky at all. This has the potential to be very good. Grammar needs to be fixed, and you can add more about what happened to "me" in the poem. As it is, we know he/she is bleeding, and that there was an accident of sorts. But that is all we know. We need to know more in order to piece the poem together and appreciate its ending. Also, this would read better with punctuation. Good luck revising. Do what I do. Hold onto it. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten phrases and such and written them down. Later I would return to them and whole poems came from them. This has a good central theme. Go back to it over time and begin to pull out the different ideas it will give you. |
