Some Things On My Mind

by Kix39

Published March 24, 2008

Everyday I get up at 5 A.M.
I get up and go
Go Go Go

I go to work and eat on the way
I don't really know
there's nothing to say

When I go to bed
I try to think what I did
What I said

The next day I get up
And do it all again
I get up and
Go Go Go

Hmm, all I thought about was the Go, go, go bit. Snagged me and I have to admit, I didnt enjoy reading it from thereon.

But you have rhythm :) thats good.

In a way, it's very clever. I think it's a very unique poem that will be read according to the reader...:S which is not the best always. As the writer, you want to be in control of the reader :D The power's yours! Lol.

If you were trying to bring across the 'boring' bit...well, congratulations :)

Keep practicing and having fun at the same time :)

Till next time

Peace V

I'm afraid I'd have to agree with aetstar. This poem lacked... substance. All it did was tell us about the guy's boring life. How not interesting!

Some pointers:

~ Tell us about the day. Why was it so boring? What made it boring?

~ Why should we like this poem if there is nothing to like? It's really not all that fun to read about a poem about... nothing.

Hope this helped and I wasn't too harsh.

I like the idea, although I do believe I got a bit confused onto whether or not it was supposed to rhyme, or not...
2 stanzas rhymed, and 2 didn't.


But other than that, it was pretty good.

Keep writing.
This was cool, and if you continue, I think your next ones could be fantastic.

I'm sorry, but I didn't like this poem. But I know in the long run, your stories and poems will be much better. Best wishes! :)

I have to disagree, I'm afraid. I thought the poem was clever and was something that we all have to slog through, the sometimes overwhelming monotony of life. Loved it! :P ~LM

This was okay. Its not great. I think you have to make it more interesting by expanding and using different words. Try making more endearing. This is too repeatitive and cliche. It like I'm reading a poetry anthology for third graders. Nice idea. It has potential.
