I think your trying to say an idea for a poem. It could be about the War on terrorism, Bush's no child left behind act what, do u think about it? u should also go to the following website for a political poem u could make fun of Bush or Kerry, and there wives. It's a game site but you'll love the games there really funny i recommend; Dancing Blair, Dancing Bush, Dancing Hillary, Hip-Hop debate, freefaller- UK Election, Presidential Knockout, Bush Shootout, whitehouse joust, and War on Terrorism 1 and 2.

Thinking about Bill, Dead of AIDS"\n\nby Miller Williams\n\nI really liked this poem because it makes I think the poet wants us all to feel how horrible it would be to have AIDS. At one point in the poem he says "thinking of friends afraid to shake your hand", I cannot even imagine what it would be like if one of my friends would refuse to touch my hand.\n\nAlthough this poem is really sad, it hits home a lot and makes us feel that we should feel sorry for people who get AIDS because of the amazing suffering they go through. It would be very tough. Now more than ever does this poem get it's point across. \n\nAnother thing I noticed about this poem is that how much the poet loved Bill. He says they had more, they would have given it to him. That shows that they gave all their love and effort and it could still not keep him alive. It is a very good poem and one we should all read and think about. i read this poem on the net its alright

in my personal opinion its a good poem but i find poems are always better when the person has experienced what they are writing about whether or not its racism, abuse or love and you obviously have some skills as a poet but i think you could reach your full potential if you write about something you have been through

Hiya.  Here's one of my own.  It's depressing, but happiness wasn't a prerequisit.  (By the way, you forgot the "Unstressed/stressed" syllable pattern!)\n\n"Sonnet of Mourning" by Sine Nomine\n\nIt pained me to see others sorely pained;\nLove bade me eagerly to take their stead,\nAnd were I thousand miles away, I strained\nTo loose the tie of anguish, loss and dread.\nNow as I sleep, please know I love you still.\nThough wordless glory crowns my aching heart,\nI'll never sleep and dare to dream until\nYou let me leave and to sweet Grace depart.\n\nDo not weigh down my restful mind with guilt\nThrough heavy tears and lasting mourning sighs,\nFor Heaven's like a finished patchwork quilt\nWith all God's blesséd knots securely tied.\n\nPlease hear my plead and let your crying cease.\nAs I love you, now let me be at peace.

I WROTE A POEM FOR YOU TO EXPRESS MY EXPERIENCE:\n\nIt was in Jersey; I saw Ghosts; they are true,\nI believe them, I'm scared, my name is Drew.\n\nI used to live in a home that had Ghosts,\nThey whistle time to time, Evenings the most.\n\nThey attacked the nanny, they attacked my son,\nI was fed-up, was raged, showed my anger by shooting a Gun.\n\nI called a Priest, called a Monk, nothing seemed to work,\nI decided to leave'em alone and just moved to New York.\n\nI believe them, they are true,\nI'm scared, my name is Drew.
