The Only Happy Poem

The Sun bathed path
is set out in front of you
an early sunrise
and the smell of dew

Feel the warmth
of a summer day
wishing that forever
the summer could stay

and as the sun sets
and the world remains anew
lying in the sunset
only with you

Okay, well, I'm going to take an old comment of mine and apply it to this: this could be expanded on. The poem is highly linear and doesn't seem to have much to it considering layers, but elaboration of just what you mean with the things you say is called for in some parts- particularly in the final two lines. The final two lines of the poem do not seem to transition well from the rest of it- it's as if you added them in simply to sustain the rhyme without it having any real meaning besides just what it means by reading the poem linearly; the final two lines are weak in comparison to the rest of the poem. As for the rest of the poem, however, can be much more than it is- particularly the beginning, the start-off is fairly nice in painting a vivid image. My only issue is, however, that you wrote this poem to be cheerful, but for other people. You really shouldn't write for anyone but yourself, and not about anything but the things that you actually think, feel, and believe sincerely; otherwise the poem won't be anywhere nearly as effective as it could, which I think is the case with this one. Write your own thoughts/emotions/beliefs, but write in such a way as if someone else would read whatever you write, so the message in the poem nicely communicates to the reader. That's all I can say.

Dude, jay, whos that quies person?

harsh comment.


I need points, so i came to you, because your writing is pretty much the only stuff i can read and connect with, aside from peter. And im glad i did, because this poem was incredible. Nice job, and you really should write more like this, it will make you feel good about yourself.
