The walls they build so high

will crush them in the end

The walls they build so high

keep letting the world in

The walls they build so high

are piled on a crumbling base

The walls they build so high

are meant to keep out all the past

The walls they build so high

are meant to hide the parade,

The parade of masks filing by

walking, running, trying to find

exactly what they need

to make it

in this little

world

while keeping it at bay

with the walls they build so high

I'm just looking for any CCing or comments or anything you want. I'm open. It's just a poem I wrote one day during class...

You do so much CCing around here I felt obligated to take a look at what you wrote. Unfortunately I'm not much of a poetry critic.

I will say that while I didn't mind the general repitition of the "walls they build so high", I did feel that
Quote:
are meant to hide the parade,
The parade of masks filing by
- with the words "parade" used twice didn't feel too right. Would it work with
"are meant to hide the parade,
The legion of masks filing by"?

(Post some prose, I'll be more useful... sweatdrop )

Well I am a fan of poems that do not have the same line over. I am not going to post an example of my poems because they are long, and extremely good. sweatdrop (I have them copyrighted for my safety) Ok, so my poems need work. Get over it >.> I am not going to all hard on you, but next time try something without a repeat scheme and maybe something more imaginative. Not to mention those four lines you could of made one, you should attempt to fix that. The wording is ok I guess, sometimes I seem to repeat the same word in the line under it though I attempt not to. Otherwise that was a good poem, good work >.>

Thanks. And I never thought of the parade parade thing before. That's cool. And I would post some prose but all my prose is really really long and I don't know if anybody would want to read through all of it. But thanks for CCing.

biggrin Yeah, it's hard to CC a poem when you don't like the general way its written. Most of my poems don't have that much repetition in them, but I figured I'd try something new with this one. Yeah, I understand the long poem thing, it's crazy.

Post some prose, I normally read even long ones if I feel they're worth it (although other people might not). If you do post long peices, it might be worth just posting, at least for the first post, just a small section, that way people will check out your work without being scared off, and later you can post the rest of it.

That's good thinking. I might just have to do that.
