Question: What do you think of my poem on a scale 1-10!?
Allways change
By Dorothy d Mcclendon
When things go good it starts to change
Life love hope never stays the same
I complained i screamed i threw fits
I said i hated this place and i would never like it
My face was barely ever happy allways mad or sad
Now that i started to realize open my eyes to tell myself
To just live my life, It was to late and it was time for me to go
I rembered when i couldent wait for this day to come
Now im in total shock, Walking the grounds i would kick
Opening the doors i would hit, Walking to the school i used to
ditch Now i wish i hadent did all those things cause when good
things got Everything changed!. Cause life love hope never stays the sameWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Opinion of poetry (or anything) is subjective!. I like your poem because it is raw and honest !.!.!. and it's not teen angst - the most cringe-worthy genre, in my opinion!. I'll give you a 7!.

Don't listen to those who complain about rhythm or meter!. They people are just mouthing what they were told in English class!. Mature poetry can break these beginner's rules!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"I complained i screamed i threw fits"
That stanza actually got the rhythm off beat for me!.

^ Couldn't really comprehend the rhythm; I can understand the words!.!.!. it goes from a little poetry -> a diary!.

I hate being mean, but, it does need some help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I give it a 10!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would give it a 5!. You have good content!. Natural talent!. I really felt your emotion!. However, you need to work on your punctuation and read a few books on meter and rhyme!. Don't get mad at me for saying that!. Your lucky!. A lot of people don't have talent!. So read the great poets, study books on writing poetry, pay attention to your grammar teacher, and practice your writing!. Don't waste your talent because you can't take criticism!. Develop it!. Good luck!. Hope to hear more of your writing someday!. I am adding this to refute the comment below!. I am not mouthing what I heard in English class!.I enjoy modern unrhymed poetry as much as anyone!. But as you said, rhyme and meter are the beginning rules of poetry and should be mastered before moving onto experimental poetry!. And by the way, most of the famous modern poets write according to a set of rules for meter and beat that are FAR more complected than rhyming!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
