Default What do you think of my writing?

Butterflies in my tummy.
She looks so yummy.
I know her scent, even from a mile away.

I still get nervous.
Make up words like quervous.
And this is all from seeing her face.

I really wanna rap.
But she makes me wanna sing.
Accomplished-I think I won a race.

Still so confused.
Does she want this dude?
Her beauty is delicate, like a million dollar vase.

I'm going to end this poem sweet.
I think its pretty neat.
She's my heart, I'd even kiss her feet.



I wrote this today when I got home. No real meaning behind it, I just felt like it. Didn't revise it at all.

Bug guts in my tummy,
Not terribly yummy.
Her scent? I can smell her a mile away

Been drinkin' Cuervos
To keep from getting Ner-vous
And this drinkin' comes from lookin' at her face

I really need to *rap
And I want to take a nap
Get Out! I need my space......

I'll end this parody fast
Besides, it wouldn't last,
She's my babe, but I wouldn't kiss her ***




Sorry, couldn't resist

Good poem (yours) I like the rhythm

I think your is better! Hilarious, sounds like a story to tell when drinking.

I tried to keep the rhyme scheme consistent but oh well.

Funny you should bring this up on valentine's day. It's the only time of year I ever write poetry. My English tutors used to make me write poems for the school paper, and some say I have talent (though unrefined). This took me a couple of hours to come up with this morning (and is not the complete poem, some of it is personal).

Your poem's ok, but needs work. the most important thing with writing, is reading. Only by reading can you expand your vocabulary, and only by expanding your vocabulary, can you become a better writer. Anyway, I guess you can be the judge of whether or not I have the right to criticise, here's my valentine effort for my GF...

On this day of valentine, I'm proud to say that you are mine
And all the things that we have shared
Mean everything, with nothing spared.

Through all the years I've known, with you I've only grown,
Without you I'd be lost, and fade like winter frost.
Although I find it hard to show, I want for you to know...

That I am yours, with all my flaws,
My heart is yours to break
And though I seem as hard as stone,
My spirit's yours to take

Til final day of parting, my heart to you's imparting,
That you're the one, my shining sun, my love, my soul, my dove.

Lupe is one of the greatest.

I like it, but that last line should have kept the rhyme scheme IMO, sounds a little funny.
I also have another poem I wrote, I may put it up later but its a bit personal.

Thanks, the way I would read it, it does follow the rhyming scheme. And by the way making the rhyming scheme of a poem completely uniform, makes it sound flat.

I hate bald heads, tatoos, rock, lifted trucks, and riding in the desert.
