How bad is this poem?

Good or bad- scale of 1 to 10.

daylight turns and folds into another night. the inner struggle has stayed too long; your never ending fight. the dogs bark loud the people ask questions, you thoughts are leading you to a new direction. I never thought I’d say good bye, but now it’s too late, and I wish I tried. Even if you see me in the wrong light, the wrong perception that is not me, it is my fault anyway, I shouldn’t stay. I’d walk the road with you forever but darling you don’t love me. you see ugly where I see beauty, so let’s agree to disagree.

This light was fleeting, a heart was cheated flyaway birds remind me of you.

Answer #1

the last line of the first stanza is banal, try coming up with something more orginal perhaps broaden your vocab a bit it’s not bad I’m fond of the basic idea it conveys I’ld give it a 6 above average

Answer #2

Yeah I just write freestyle. That’s my own thing :) Psha Elly I critique writing all the time. I partially agree with swordfreak though she was a tinsy bit harsh. Still, like music and writing it’s all opinion. What’s good to someone is terrible to someone else. The idea is to appeal to the majority without becoming generic :)

Answer #3

swordfreak42? Just because something isn’t your style does not mean that it’s not good. Maybe I don’t like the way someone dresses. does that mean that they aren’t pretty? Definitely not.

I think that a 4 is pretty harsh. And so was your “input”. I’d like to see you write a better poem. ^_^ oh yeah. and a poem doesn’t have to rhyme. ever heard of a haiku?

Answer #4

10+. ^^ it’s pretty good. xD I liked it. it reminds me of that firefly song. xD it’s random… yet at the same time, it makes perfect sense? the figure of speech used is quite lovely, and it flows well. x] nice poem, michele! ^^

Answer #5

Try harder? I dislike that phrase. In writing I never ‘’try’’. Technically writing is best when it is sloppy and written fast because it is really just talking on a page, and to get it as close to talking as possible is what makes it jump off and seem more real. Yeah I wasn’t trying to rhyme it just worked that way. And 4 is my lucky number so thank you swordfreak42. I also see what you mean with the rhyming… Aww Elly you are too nice :) My one English teacher says random is what I do best. So yeah ;D

Answer #6

it’s beautiful. keep writing.

Answer #7

Hmmm not a fan of your rhyme scheme, yet it does portray some message…

4/10 sorry hun, try a little harder :P.

Answer #8

I didn’t like it very much… it was a bit to random … I’d give it a 4 or a 5 maybe… Xo:)
