Default random poem, tell me if its good?

this is just something i made up, tell me if its good or not please.

with the blink of an eye,
with the beat of a heart,
things can all end,
as quick as they start.

she had to leave,
when i was so young,
that day was so feared,
why my mom.

life goes on,
and so should I,
it's something to do,
it's something to try.

to see her in there,
just made me so sad,
but it was all easier,
because i had my dad.

some of the lines are definitely well thought out, and the topic of the poem is definitely poetry-worthy ^^ nice job -- you should probably keep this up

Pretty good; lines are simple but effective, rhyme scheme isn't forced at all. The rhythm could use some fixing though, it's rather inconsistant.

There's no real flow or feeling to it - it sounds like you were just having a ****ty day and wrote some things down that rhymed.

Give up poetry

You ASKED if it was good. You left the topic open to say that you sucked, but were hoping that everyone would be like "Oh my, I can just feel his inner agony and the darkness of his soul"

No, I'm teaching you a god damn lesson: Just because your friends think it's cool doesn't mean there's people out there that think you're a complete ****** for thinking it was.

He asked if it was good, he didn't ask if you cared whether he should quit poetry or get better.
Just answer the damn question and don't be a dick about it, there's no need to try to get everyone in a thread to flame you for being an asshole to someone asking for advice.



And for the poem, did your mother go to jail?
I thought the poem was alright, but it needed a bit more flow to it. But I do agree, none of it seemed forced, which is essential in poetry.

Maybe if I wasn't such a ****** like you I'd be able to understand your "Hey let's all get along jolly ranchers gummy bears and RAINBOWS FOR ALL!"

Wow Snowcrafta, whats with dissing on people? I mean it's a good poem and some people let out their emotions with it. No reason to call him a ****** or something for that. Hope you realize bashing on a 14 year old is pointless, and if you do the same to me for backing him up, it still is pointless.

So, uh...

Am I late for the bashing?


I'm going to be honest, this poem was way blunt. Poetry is supposed to be flowing and nice and stuff, you were like...

"Why my mom?"

"But I had my dad."

Why not throw in a, "So it was all good"?
