Question: Trying poetry, is my poem any good!? Comments & suggestions!?
Black & White

You must know I see what you see
The difference between black and white
Just because there’s diversity
Does not mean there’s wrong or right

I believe in coexisting
I know my love is colorblind
And all that you’ve been insisting
Proves you are out of your mind

Don’t you think that black on white
Is just the same the other way!?
Consider a dove in the night
Is so like a crow in the dayWww@QuestionHome@Com

poems can mean anything and there is no right or wrong way to place words or phrases, it adds personality to a piece!. I like the metaphor that you are describing, and the feel is sensational, i mean that a lot!. As a writer I developed at a very early age and my work is all my own!. You have a good talent and I enjoyed your work!. Always take other peoples opinions to heart and listen and use what you hear to create your own way!. Because when you think about things for what they are it is all black and white anyway, and we just add the color!. :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Very good poem in my opinion!.
I have only one critique and you may use or disregard!.

I understand the poem as saying there is no difference between black or white!. That is your core

But the lines "Just because there's diversity" and "Does not mean there's wrong or right" conflict in my reading of your poem!. Diversity has a double meaning in the english language!. It can mean bad times or it can mean multiple choices!. Diversity, to me in the context of this poem, means that there is no one race or opinion that is right and yet the next line kind of conflicts by saying "Does not mean there's wrong or right

Good poem, need to fix that conflict!. Suggestion:

And in the face of diversity
There is no wrong and there is no right

The rest of your poem is very strong in my opinion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love these last two lines, and I think it ends the poem with a thought-provoking visual image! Bravo!

The only thing I would work on is the pacing of the poem!. Nice job!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like it but it is so plain obvious at thee beginning and is not creative at all with its theme and just makes me feel like i read over a thousand times but the last paragraph should be extended to a whole poem!. It is WonderfulWww@QuestionHome@Com
