Question: Read this!. tell me what needs to be changed!?
I watch the blue sky
As time rolls by
I feel I could swim
At altitudes high

Dipping, dashing
Flowing, soaring
Twirling, whooshing
Tiger clouds roaring

What a riveting revelation
The beauty of the sky
As I find myself in the sand again,
A tear I cryWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Your initial rhyme pattern is aaba and aaaa, which are considered typical for a "rubaiyat" (as in the rubaiyat of omar Khayyam), but your last stanza falls apart!. Try this for a last stanza (or something like it):

What a riveting revelation
That the sky holds such temptation
That when I land in the sand
I still feel its inspiration

Keep writingWww@QuestionHome@Com

The dead swans float by
Each forgetting the times they could fly
At altitudes high (keep this line)
Oh, the stench causes a tear in my eye

Flopping, bloating
Thudding into random fixed objects
Bubbling, blooping
Turning over occasionally
They also smelt quite a great deal
