I'm stuck on a ship with an abomination.
It all started at lunch having a dip. Then I heard a "kaa-boom"!
And that was the start of many more scrooms in heaven, about eleven.
Now everyone else tried to escape, some didn't get past the white marking tape.

As far as I know this could be the start of a world without priceless art.
And its true I haven't got a clue where the rest of the crew is,
I will have to blow this space station.
To cure the world of an abomination.

I'm stuck here with an abomination,
on this station among the stars.
Must get get to the control room , before I done.
I arrive to find the others have collapsed into bones.

So I set a bomb to this place of bad hives,
where my friends and I used to do jives.

In luck, I found an abandoned space ship shaped like a duck.
And off this space station I can start a celebration...
when the space station goes dark and ends up in sparks.

Well it's an interesting piece I just have a couple nitpicks.
My first thing is the repeating of the first line. On rare occasions this has a positive impact, but in this case it really didn't do anything for the poem. Also, there were some lines where the rhyming was completely bizarre; like "luck" and "duck." I mean...what the heck does a duck have to do with ANY of this? Really. Don't sacrifice your story for rhyme scheme unless you can make it work. But with all this said, there was something interesting about the poem, something I liked.
Keep writing,

Hello.

I am not sure what to make of this poem. I found it hard to get into because of how long and awkward some lines felt. Try reading them out loud to see if the lines have a flow to them. If they don't, then work on rewording them so they flow better.

The rhyme scheme, or, lack of a consistent one, also threw me off. You start off with an ABAC rhyme, then an ABCC rhyme, then ABCD (no rhyme), an AA couplet, and finally an ABC (again, no rhyme) stanza. There is no consistency in the rhyming, and it really makes each stanza disconnect with each other.

I can see you were trying for some sort of humour, but the lack of consistency and flow really made it hard for me to enjoy this.

Hope this helps. PM me if you have any questions.

not be rude but my person does this for fun. I do not base it on any structure, I just write...
and It wasn't supposed to be funny either.
