Question: Is this the worst poem in the world!?
It is my first time in writing a poem!. Is it correct!.

Our earth!.!.!.
We share the same earth
The same world
And its ours

But why!.!.
Why do we pollute our own home!?
Instead!.!.
Why didn't we take good care of our home

Our earh!.!.
Is now full of scars,
Wounds,
And it hurts

We must help our ome!.!.
to heal the wounds
to avoid the scars

We must!.!.We must
We must save our home
from the endless painWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes, this is a poem!. A lovely poem that happens to touch upon one of my demanding questions!. How long do we allow others to destroy what is our birthright!? A Rainbow Warrior are you, my dear; join our tribe!.

On your poem -- always run a spell checker so words such as ome, meant to be home; earh instead of earth will not slip by!.
I think some line breaks would improve the poetic nature of your powerful words, and I would also remove redundant words!.

And so, A critique and edit, if you don't mind:

Our earth!.!.!.
we share
this world
it is ours!.

Why do we
pollute
our own home
instead
of caring
for the gift
of a place
to live!?

Our earth,
filled with scars,
{{elaborate here on the scars -- such as Chernoble, the Atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the destruction of the twin towers, three-mile island -- there are too many to choose from!. Bikini Island is a prime example!.)
Wounds,
and they hurt

We must help
our home!.!.
heal our wounds
avoid more scars
repair the damage
{{here elaborate on what is happening with the green house effect, why it is happening, what to do about the spheres that protect earth from the solar flares and millions of miles an hour winds hotter than earth could survive, much less mankind!.}}

{{Here, I would place some place, and then conclude with your stanza}}
We must!.!.We must
We must save our home
from the endless pain!.

Hope this is okay; your poem is in the beginning stages with unlimited potential!. Fly with itt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Correct!? No such thing as a 'correct' poem!.
It's not the best, no, but it's certainly not the worst!. Just keep practicing!. It might help you to read some different forms of poetry!. You can't go wrong with the classics, but you'll want to read modern poetry too!. You'd be amazed how much it'll help!.

As far as the poem itself goes, it doesn't really follow any sort of pattern!. Try using a pattern, whether it's a rhyme scheme, a certain number of lines, a line length, etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Since there is no 'correct' in poetry, and it is your first poem, I would say you did a great job on this!

Poetry is usually from the heart, or a very deep mind - and it can be written for fun, passion, or in a fit of rage!

Keep writing!Www@QuestionHome@Com
