Position:Home>Poetry> Thoughts on this poem please?Question:I wrote this 'intro' poem for this folder I'm making.... obviously no Keats!! Let me know what you think please... Poetry in Motion Poetry in motion, life’s essence on a page Helping free the depth of being, release life from its cage A masterpiece in progress, it’s never quite complete To really finish poetry is quite a daunting feat Momentum takes us forward, momentum of the world The poetry of life is never-ending so I’m told It lacks direction, structure, theme; it’s written by us all But one who doubts the words of life is simply but a fool Poetry in motion, a lifetime’s worth of birth I put before you on this sheet a story of the earth Words turned into sentences, and sentence into verse The story keeps on moving, an unsubsiding thirst The blankness of the canvass which can never be reclaimed The ink began to drip, expression never would be tamed Life and its reflection is there for all to see Poetry in motion is what we come to be By Luke C Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I wrote this 'intro' poem for this folder I'm making.... obviously no Keats!!

You exhibit a nice passion and enthusiasm but use a lot of cliches. Challenge yourself to take each line and restate with words original and unique. Use the poetic devices available to accomplish this intro. This to me is but a rought first draft. Keep at it. |
