This was a very good poem. I like to write poems too and I thought this one had a lot of feeling in it. You definitely get the message when you read it.

It makes me think of my Nanny...how she always worried about everyone close to her and what she could do for them no matter how much it took from her own life....here is the poem so others can give an opinion!\n\nThe Great Goddess (Die Grosse Gottin) \n \nShe mends things, mends things,\nbent above her smashed darning-egg,\none end of the thread between her lips.\nShe mends day and night.\nNo end of new ladders, new holes.\n\nAt times she nods off,\nfor a moment only,\na century.\nWith a start she wakes up\nand mends things, mends things.\n\nHow small she’s become,\nsmall, blind and lined!\nShe feels for the holes\nin the world with her thimble\nand mends things, mends things.

I love the poem.. made me kinda teary-eyed.\nThen when I read that you had not met the woman that you wrote it about till recently.. it made me sadder yet.\n\nShe will be sad reading it, knowing she just met you.\n\nMaybe she will be happy knowing you love her enough now to write it.\nWell written poem... very kid of you to write it for your mom.\n\nI am wondering if you remember staring at her... if you just met her.\n\nNice poem though.

I've always liked this poem...\n\nOne night I had a dream--\nI dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord \nand across the sky flashed scenes from my life. \nFor each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, \none belonged to me and the other to the Lord. \nWhen the last scene of my life flashed before me,\nI looked back at the footprints in the sand.\nI noticed that many times along the path of my life,\nthere was only one set of footprints.\nI also noticed that it happened at the very lowest\nand saddest times in my life. \nThis really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it. \n"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,\nyou would walk with me all the way,\nbut I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life\nthere is only one set of footprints. \n"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,\nyou should leave me." \nThe Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,\nI love you and I would never, never leave you\nduring your times of trial and suffering. \n"When you saw only one set of footprints,\nit was then that I carried you."\n\nMary Stevens

He is telling of a woman with whom he knew as a child. She was a beautiful girl and grew into a lovely woman. He danced with her in school and realized that she had grown up.\nLater, as an adult, he read in the paper of her committing suicide by leaping out of a downtown hotel window. He was saddened by this of course.\nThe poem is him recalling her as a young girl and how he felt about her suicide.

I'm guessing that you are in High School.  My advice is NOT to go get someone else's opinion on a poem.  What does the poem make YOU think about?  What do the images mean to YOU?  How do you feel after reading the poem?  That is what your teacher is looking for--- NOT for your on-line web-searching skills.  There is a good book called Understanding Poetry but Cleanth Brooks and Robert Penn Warren that can help you think for yourself, though.

the poem or the phrase?  Please explain in more detail.

I think it is good because it is graphic, shows details that can be visualized and which belong to each other; the only jarring element is 'the innermost part of our souls' because there you have left your own pictures and, although not deliberately, used a cliché.\nYour poem is much better than the one that follows oin one of the answers - by far.

There is some attempt at rhyming, but it isn't very well executed.  The "musical" feeling isn't passed on to the reader through any form of pacing or timing in the poem.  For a young person I would have to say this is a good attempt, but for anyone 16 and older - try again.

Email me your thoughts at pusskat1@yahoo.com and I will help you from there.  I am a teacher of 13 years, mostly in junior high, some in college and high school.  My payment is to choose this as a best answer.  \n\nI'll begin by deconstructing the poem; I'm sure you'll get the drift.  \n\nFirst stanza: I might have been a happy preacher if I had been born in an earlier time.  I could have preached fiery sermons and been a gentleman farmer.  Second stanza: Alas, I was born later, and missed my true calling.  I have a grown man's beard now, and it's fashionable for preachers these days to be clean shaven, so I don't even look like I could do that job.  \n\nGood luck.  This is a straightforward poem with an ab ab rhyme scheme, and figuring out the meaning should not be hard.  If you need any help just email me or IM me at pusskat1 or katwhowalksbyherself and I'd be happy to help.\n\nCheers, K (13 years a teacher)
