Pretty good, but I wouldn't call it a poem, too long, there needs to be a new name for long poems. In my opinion, I believe a poem should be about half a page..from this day, long poems are known as Poooooems. with 5 'o's.

Anyways, I love poetry, writtings, and moives. They really express one's inter deep thoughts and beliefs, even if the one writting it doesn't realize it. Thats why I also believe English class is the most important in school, and why its best to be good friends with the English teacher, because they can understand people and their emotions, and their reasons for acting in a specific way.

[lol] Okay. [/lol]

Call it what you want, I call it a poem, sometimes a monologue. I'm the one who created it <3

Not all English teachers are emotionally perceptive. I actually had one in grade 10 that was quite derpy. I've had just about every English teacher from grade 1 to 12 tell me 'Wat is that'. So, I have to be inclined to disagree.

Also, I avoid giving things a permanent label. I don't like labels in the least :/ I call it my work, nine times out of ten, and there is the exit, kindly, if that's not good enough for your standards

Editx2:o I try not to take into account judgement from my cohorts or people in and around my age group, simply because opinion and credited, useful criticism are on two very different ends in that case

Edit: (No offense intended.)

I understand. Labels and tags sometimes do have many exceptions and variations, unless it is called a poooooem. Then everything I call a poooooem is a poooooem.

And about the english teachers; From what you have said, that is quite sad. I believe every English teacher should be quite emotional and should show their students the types of emotions certain poems and stories bring out. But I do understand how some English teachers can be "derpy" as you said. I once had an English teacher in the 10th grade who gave poor examples of literary terms in stories/poems, and who did not really understand some of them. She also didn't give the students much options to express themselves, even when writting essays, she would write down on the board how to start the essay, and if we did not use her beginning, we would recive a zero for the assignment.

Opinions, in my opinion (lol), should be taken into account because they give us options on how to progress our work, and make it better, not to mention it also educates the mind to view different aspects of situations to allow you to write about different situations.

(I to mean no offence btw, I am simply giving my opinions on these matters.)

I agree that part of the job of an English teacher is to help students understand the material. That being said:
It is relatively understood that a person will interpret something in their own way, whether or not, by another's standards, if that perception is correct. I always take in opinions and gather from them what I see as useful. All I'm saying is that I easily discard them, for I didn't do that, I would just be brought down by everyone's opinion of my work. Thus the curse of being a teenager and being shallow. And I meant what I said about labels. I don't use them at all, even the exceptions or variations. I simply do what I love to do, and call it "that thing I love doing so much."

I have always believed and continue to believe that everything is a metaphor. For what is up to you, but just the fact, in my mind, that anything can be everything in any way allows me to not really care about what other people think. Everyone will do what they want to in their own way, but attempting to understand the other persons world by giving an opinion is not the best way to go. Those are my last two cents, so be gentle with them <3

As an ending denote, I will say that an English teacher is the physical embodiment of something that can be easily found today in any book or on the internet. There is no longer an excuse to not know something. What I think English teachers should be doing, mainly, is teaching kids to think critically. That's how I do 99% of my work at school. The other 1% is the facts.

EDIT: Poetry is actually parsed and analyzed through meter and prose, not length. Poetic prose is a form of writing, and does not denote any specific length (as a piece of work). There are different types of poems and sonnets that go by numbers (Petrarchan is 8 and 6, first and second stanza called an Octave and a Sestet, respectively.)

Point being, I don't really care for these facts other than studying them as such. I don't take them into account, honestly, when writing.

I see lots of words. I read a bit which said poems should be half a page. I am guessing such commenters never studied traditional poetry like The Rime of the Ancient Mariner or anything by Homer (the father of the poem) for their EngLit.

I'm really wishing i didn't make myself a promise to read long posts since that really was a eye burner, however that being said i enjoyed reading the poem.

I love reading the writers corner, I find that it brings much colour to the forums.

Or T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land.

Who dreamt he was eating his shoe?

When he woke in a fright
in the dark of the night
he found it was perfectly true.”



You may think that this story’s absurd
but there is more to the tale that I heard.
He had skipped all his meals
with a healthy-food feel
and filled up on only dessert!

Now a man who eats nothing but sweets
will get hungry again while he sleeps.
So with nothing to do
he tried gnawing his shoe
and woke again hungry and mean.

The lesson I’m trying to teach
is to eat all your veggies and beets.
What a shame it would be
to end up like he
and awake with a shoe in your teeth!
