I stand here
Microphone in my hand
I see everyone looking at me curiously
My worst enemy snicker's rudely
Followed by the teachers dirty looks
I take a deep breath
Nervous as a soldier about to fight
I don't care what they think
I'm giving my speech to the school
I see them staring now
I open my mouth and decide to give my speech

Maybe you can add a few more lines about your nervousness?
You know, to describe it a little more.
Other than that its really good!
As time goes, the ice melts and flowers blossom once more.

Just write about a moment and how you are truelly feeling use some metaohors and simile's put it in versus then you have a poem I made this in 5 min

wow

what an original idea. I write poetry, but this is one of the first times I have come across something like this. People tend to write less of these poems now a days :/ It is nice to see that some people still write them XD

I agree with the others though it needs to be a bit longer, and especially between the last two lines to make it flow better XD
I wrote your name in the sand and the sea washed it away! I wrote your name in my heart and there it will stay.

I don't like the use of the metaphor 'nervous as a soldier about to fight' I think it's overkill. I would use something like 'nervous as a matador about to fight' which would be funnier, and would feel more like you were going to win. soldiers never win.



It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.
