Let poets, writers, pirates, and all of the above/below gather in the goodness of literature! I'm Captain Redd the pirate, writing stuff about pirates and whatever else amuses me and makes me go "ah-ha!". And I'm here to brighten up the world, or . . .maybe, yeah. Whatever. Love, Captain Redd

"Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends."
~Shel Silverstein

on Love/Hate by Katie-Kasabian, on March 1, 2008I thought this was a great description of the typical up/down emotions of teenages, I could totally relate, and that's a nice thing to find in poetry, you know? I thought the word choice was a little weak with "sad" and glad. I understand they rhyme, but then that's where thesauruses and rhyming dictionaries come in. Other than that, good job. Thanks for sharing!

This is thoughtful, I like it. It's sweet and I think we can all relate to it. I especially like the last two lines. They are very catchy and end the poem on a pleasant note. Just watch for the number of syllables in each line, and make sure the lines' rythym and beat match up with the rest of 'em. I would have liked to have seen larger, more descriptive words. I noticed this basically Here:
"This world is so big
Yet so small"
I think there are better ways to decribe this. Word choice makes a big difference!
