random poem

Don’t step one stride out of line,
try to walk and keep in time.

You must be exactly the same,
with the way of the thought,
and the way of the brain.

If u step outside this mark,
a penalty you shall embark.

A punishment more worse than death,
Is to live ones life beneath a net.

I really like the last line: “It is to live ones life beneath the net” The third stanza I think needs work, its too neat with its rhyme, needs something with more substance like the last line. Good Luck ;)

I got peed-off when I knew I had to say sorry to okei!, and yourself, again.
Tried to ignore, cant. Want to make friends again. If possible

Back after long interuption. Hardly dare to believe Yourself and Okei! still have time for me. Hug each. I was angry at you both, ok yes, at me most of all. Then two, or is it three days later I miss you both again. Just a little confusing. BTW the Avatar used not me but Walt Whitman in his old age. For what its worth, he was over three times your age and I about 2/3rds of his. Lets keep it just a little obscure for the sake of decency. Got to go again, this time to sleep, and hope the tree surgeon at the rear has taken the hint to queue his queries ’til I’ve had a few hours at least.

That was one of the most meaningful poems I have read in a long time. Short and sweet!

This one is well worth more work,the ideas are there. More will come if you re-work. memories contain feelings. words & ideas often come with conventional feelings already in them. There is room for you to add your feelings, modifying the conventioal.
Just reminding you, you’ve got the talent.
People see that.
Verses,lines and words that dont quite work are’nt good enough, they let your talents down, and your readers too. Your readers see the poet in you and want you to succeed.
Drafts 1, 2, 3….. can be tedious. When your horse smells the stable, what happens? She picks up her pace, forgetting the hard slog before.
All the best :)
