Rhyme does not pay. History tells you how many poets were rich in material things.

being rich in material things is not everything. it's far from it. most poets are misunderstood or unknown. writing poetry is not something that is a cash cow, like being i dunno...a computer programmer or something. it's an art, only with words, and most artists are under-supported and misunderstood. \n\nrhyme pays not in gold\nbut in something worth three-fold\nit pays in expression\na longing heart's confession

Aw, that's cute. :)\nI probably could whip up a poem for you, but I usually charge. I'm a published poet you see. I'll do things for free for my friends though.\nJust send that poem. If you wrote it yourself it will be that much more special to your friend. :)

well, if u wrote it, CONGRAGULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, if not i think this is just a ordinary poem, probably written to impress a lady or something. I have a friend who published poems, and this poem would be an B- or 7.5/10 grade, which would not make it to the poem industry. But as I said, this poem has a lot of rich text that is exceptionally enriching. It takes great skill to write that, and that is why we are not all writers.

Metaphor and alliteration are poetic devices, not poetic forms. Familiarize yourself with the terms and then read poems by whatever poet(s) strikes your fancy.

Depends how good your poetry is.\n\nA lot of beginners think they are good poets because they can make a rhyme, but their meter is just awful and totally unsuitable to be a song. However if you do come up with a good set of lyrics for a song, I'm sure there are plenty of musicians that could help you come up with a few chord changes or a simple rythm to put behind it. Or maybe even just a drum beat, who knows.

Looked it up on line - seems like a rambling repetitive tirade.  Congratulations to you if you read the whole thing, I gave up after 30 lines or so.  There are a few words that some people feel are offensive.  There comes a time in peoples' lives where they have to get used to seeing and hearing them, even if they don't like it.  Should a teacher force a student who is uncomfortable with the words to read them out loud in front of the class?  No.  Should a fourth grade teacher assign it?  No.  Should a teacher downgrade a student if the student says "I read it and it's too bad the poet couldn't get his point across without cursing?"  No.  What happened: did a parent complain that his child was forced to read it?  A parent of a public school child should have that right.  And I accuse the poet of rambling!

I love poetry, but it's not a status thing for me. It's more to do with beauty and sensitivity. If a guy is sensitive and has an eye for beauty I'd date or marry him. :)

Politics is a sport these days - not poetry.  ....wait a minute ...scratch that ...cause you can find poetry in sports - sooooooooooooo \n\nNooooooooooooooo - no poetry in politics.  Empty and void of a soul - so you won't find poetry in that.

Why don't you try looking for poems written during the Renaissance.  It is possible to find some thematically linked poems there. You have to do some work on your own.

it's not a sonnet. sonnets have very specific patterns.\nI'd need to see the actual poem to tell you more.

I hope you can take constuctive criticism. I think you're thoughts are good but it's too Rhymie. It's more like a limerick than a poem. And I personally don't like that 3rd line, "People near me makes my fun." I don't understand that.\n\nSorry for the honesty!

The world needs more Poets.\n\nI agree grammar is important..unless misuse is deliberate.\n\nI did get a laugh over someone chastising you for poor \n\ngrammar by stating one word was "more correct"!!!\n\nCheck my poems on my Yahoo 360 and let me know what you \n\nthink by posting a comment and voting for favourites.\n\nA 360 site would be a good way for you to post your works \n\nas well.\n\n\nGood Luck\n\nJimmy
