pickles asked in Arts & HumanitiesPoetry · 1 decade ago

would you like to read my poem? #02?

this is just a poem that came to my mind today.....

YoU:::

sometimes i say you mean nothing to me

because i think i mean nothing to you

sometimes youre the person i hate to see

because i dont think you want to see me

sometimes i will call you best friend

because i want to hear that im yours too

but you never say a word

so i shrug my shoulders

and i say

you mean nothing to me anyway

Update:

opinions?

    your first few lines are pretty good. since you have a lot of repetition in this poem, you should try to bring it out more.

    Also, starting with line five, you begin to lose the same meter. Since I think you'd be the most comfortable writing in Blank Verse, you should look up the constituents, or at least know that it is in iambic pentameter. If you don't know what that means, look it up.

    And like i said, use your repetition and alliteration. And then also help keep up the idea that this is a never ending cycle for you. I think if you style it correctly with the right wording you can have a very effective poem.

    Sometimes you said something

    but I couldn`t really know what you mean

    so i shrug my shoulders

    it just comes to my mind

    it`s natural and doesn`t mean anything.

    Anyway that`s what i think.nothing.
