He's the great big leather bear hug.
He sends shivers up my spine.
Strictly chridtian rocker,
Makes me so nervous every time

He has a golden baby mustache,
some acne and his curls.
I thought i really liked him
But he's like all the other guys in this world
The Best
And Most Beutiful Things,
Cannot Be Seen Or Even Touched.

Strictly chridtian rocker,
did you mean Christian?

Also, be sure to capitalize the pronoun I, and read over your poem before you post it. Most typos can be caught with a quick read over.

I can't say much on this. It was really navel gazing, and doesn't do much of anything for your reader. Poetry isn't about the writer, or in any case, the narrator of the poem... usually. You can pull off writing a poem about yourself, but you have to be really good to do so. In most cases you have to write a poem that makes your reader feel something or think something. You want to give something to your reader.

I suggest you read poetry, spend a few weeks flipping through some poetry books or reading online. The best way to learn how to write poetry is to read poetry. It will show you what poetry really is.

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
— Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
