Need Opinions On My Poem. Is It Any Good? Do You Like It?

By admin Posted in: Nero

I’m having a poetry slam in class on Friday and just wanted to know what you think of my poem.
At night I toss and turn
While the world outside burns
The never ending fire is fueled by the hatred, and torment and bloodshed.
Will you be like Nero and watch it all burn down?
No, I don’t want to seem like a zero
I won’t rest, wait, or give up
My patience is wearing thin but I know that in the end we will prevail
It might be as hard as finding the holy grail
But I will not give up until I speak for the ones that can’t
Walk for the ones that only dream of doing so
I will be their voice and legs
I’ll fight until not even one person has to get on their knees and beg
I’ll run into battle with my eyes closed and my heart beating like that of a hummingbird
I won’t look back, won’t hesitate to run into the fire
I’ll do it with passion and desire
The burns and the scars are all worth it
Because I know that some people of the Earth have suffered far worse
They don’t complain, don’t seek help
This is for them
For everyone who has ever felt worthless, helpless, or that no one cares
This is for the kids acting up on the streets
Just looking for attention
But all they get is detention
For all the people everyone looks down on
Some of those that laugh at you say that they don’t,
“this doesn’t exist in my town”
They think
Oh, they’re wrong so very wrong
They’re subconscious hatred is just the spark that’s need to start a wild fire
That doesn’t end
It keeps going
Burns everything in sight
And there’s always a Nero smiling at the destruction and anguish of others
Giggling at their heartache as their families get consumed in the flames
Will you be Nero?
Or will you stand up and speak for those who can’t?
Cry for those who have no more tears
Cheer them on when they need it most
Just your tears of sympathy
Can be the water that’s needed to extinguish the flames
Of torture and hate

    I really like this poem! In my opinion, it flows fairly well, but not to the point you need to change anything. Not all poetry has to rhyme. I really like the feeling this poem conveys, it makes me want to go out and help people less fortunate then myself!

    I didn’t finish reading, but the message I was getting was good, but the flow sucks.

  3. OverTheR Says

    Oh my gosh I love it! I’m no poetry pro (you obviously are:D ) so I don’t really know what advice to give because your poem was awesome! I really liked it, good job.

    This might sound emo but it spoke to my heart lol :)

    the thought and the idea put into it is good, but it doesnt flow very well. I might try and put about the same amount of letters in each line or make the stanzas more equal with ryhmes
