If I call
will you arrive?
If I yell your name
will you yell back?
If the world needs a hero
can you finish the job?
Death cannot stop you,
you rise above.
A perfect pearl
flawless gem
the only one
you are,
Take my words
I know you will
do what you want
I shall obey
cannot say goodbye
your always there
so I say
hello

Wow. Do you actually really wake up that early and think of a poem? or does it just come to you... and then you wake up . . . or do you just stay awake until in in the morning when you finally think of it? XD Probably not. Anyway, about the poem, I like it.
I liked the end and the middle!!
So sweet. Awww. I like it!

let me guess, you wrote this when we slept over and you were staying up to watch the olympics, right?
anyway, it was a great poem. There was a couple of parts off but considering you wrote this at two in the morning I'll cut you some slack.

"cannot say goodbye

your always there

so I say

hello"

That was my favorite part of my the poem.
I'm sure there are many ways to percieve this poem but I the way I took it is that it 's basically a worship poem explaining the greatness of God and how he will never leave you.

Awesome poem!!!!!

Well, umm...

This wasn't one of your best pieces. The flow was a bit off, and it seemed a tad cliche to me.


I understood that you were coming from a romantic-type angle, but it was still a bit scattered.

It was just okay for me.

This poem wasn't one of my favorites, but I was told that you wrote it at two in da mornin or some thing. It was still good! :smt081



You spell "jem" with a g so it's gem! Unless it was a name or some thing.
You spell "your" like you're in the sentence that it is in so it's you are.



Besides those thangs it was prittay goood! :smt048




P.S. This dude is posessed! :arrow: :smt099

Horrible first four lines! I suggest scratching those and starting all over.

If the world needs a hero
can you finish the job?
Death cannot stop you,
you rise above.

I like these though. Probably my favorite part of this poem.

the only one

I don't see the necessity of this line, try removing it.

Take my words
I know you will
do what you want
I shall obey
cannot say goodbye
your always there
so I say
hello

I'm not following. I don't get this ending at all. Your word choice is confusing. I feel the only reason you worded it this way was because you think this is how poets write. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Or maybe I just don't get it.. :roll: :oops:

So as you can see, there is promise here. There were four lines I truly enjoyed. Just try polishing up the rest.
