| This is a poem I wrote for writing class.. Im quite proud of it. If anyone wants to critique it, please do! - Today-A Poem:
Today
Today I got called a liar.
I am not a liar.
I walk outside and see him.
...He looks sad.
Knocking on the door, his mom answers.
...May I play with Henry?
She screams and closes the door.
He calls me a fool.
I am not a fool.
So I punch him. But all I feel is the air,
And me falling.
...
Today I woke up dressed in white.
...I wasn't dressed like this before.
My other clothing is hanging.
Its stained red.
I hear a man saying "She's alive!"
I shuffle my arms. He enters the room.
He hugs me, but all I feel is the air,
and me crying.
...
Though the meaning is quite obvious, what do you think is happening? | |

| I believe the correct term is saw not see on the 3rd line of the poem. Other than it its pretty good :3 | |

No, it's in present tense. As for the poem itself, I love it, but I think you might want to cut down on the ellipses. | |

| I love it! I like the meaning of the poem. But the poem sounds so sad and depressing. In the second statsa it has 6 lines it is supposed to be 5 that is what i learned in language arts class last year. | |

Its free verse, Its not supposed to have a specific order. @Kiki: Its in present tense. @Makki: AHGAHAG ELLIPSES ARE WONDERFUL D: NO just kidding.. But.. Yeah. | |

| omg i ove it(now i understand it...fire and ice is my favorite one from robert frost
Some Say The World Will End In Fire,
Some Say In Ice,
From What Ive Tasted In Desire,

But If It Had To Perish Twice,
I Think I Know Enough Of Hate
To Say That For Destruction Ice
Is Also Great And Would Suffice | |
