The Queen's Demise

The joy is escaping
Through this hole that is gaping
And we know that it is making
Us scream
In the dream
Of the queen
Who's lies revive
And face reminds
Of the king's reprise
In the dark of this place
It seems we are losing the race
That is making us trace
Our thoughts
All we are taught
As we are bought
Our own fate decides
That our life resides
In the queen's demise

Well, I would if that was the only negative option, I didn't HATE it, I just didn't like it. Big difference.

Well, let's see you posted your poem on a public forum and asked for opinions, then you made the only 2 options "I like" and "it's alright" to avoid any negative comments. The poem wasn't very good, I didn't say anything about you personally, nor did I say I could do better; I said your poem wasn't very good.

If you didn't want honest opinions, then why did you post it on a public forum? Post it on your xanga if you want everyone to love it.

ok....to clear it up for you ben, i posted an option for ppl who didn't like it....but, somewhere along the way, the rediculous poll didn't register that option....so, that would be why you, ben, were unable to pick it....and it's on a public forum because it can be, not because i want approval from anyone as pertaining to what i write, but because feedback, whether positive or negative, is the only way to improve.....don't just tell me you don't like it, tell me why....i'm curious....

Because you're forcing the rhyme. It seems like you set out to write the poem and make sure it rhymes, rather than letting it truly express yourself. I say this often, assonance and alliteration are far better tools to use than rhyming. It's less obvious and much easier to pull off. The way the poem is written now it reads like a freestyle rap.

i agree... but when writing it's easy to get focused on rhyme and lose your purpose. how long have you been writing poetry?
