Tummy Monster

It's different...and weird...but yeah...basically...it's food for all you poetry eaters out there. Feel free to rip it to shreds! :D

I'm sitting here on a bench.
There's a hunger building up.
One that I need to quench.

I hear a growl and look around.
The pain rises up in me
And I fall to the ground.

I wrap my arms around me.
I feel the vibrations.
So intense I can't see.

I scream and yell
Can someone save me
From this hell?

I know what this is
I've felt it before.
It's pain of his.

It's an evil deep inside.
It's the Tummy Monster!
From him, you can't hide.


Lots O' Luv,
Lindsay

I enjoyed it. It does need a better rhythm, as Clau said. You picked a rhyme sceme and stuck with it which was nice.

Not all poems have to be So deep you can drown in them. It's more like for a kid. Cute and innocent.

Erm..

First off, poems should never have, or need, a preface. It just puts the reader off and shows the piece itself is lacking.

As for content.... try to go with something that actually has some emotional involvement. A 'Tummy Monster' isn't much in the way of moving or inspiring readers, is it?

Hehehe. Yeah, childish comes to mind but that's not necessarily bad. I think this would make a good children's poem if you tidy up the flow and perhaps take another look at this line -

It's pain of his.

- I think maybe this pain of him would make more sense. Other than that though, it's a fun little poem.

Er, uh. Childish? Yes. That's the best fitting word.

If you wanted for something more serious [or, jokingly serious] give it a rhythm, that'll put it more into place. Then it will have more flow.

Otherwise, er... I have nothing to say, really. I can't comment on the content.
