Give me three wishes,
I know you cannot deny.
Take me to a room of lights,
and food and drinks of all delight.
Shoot me towards the moon,
so I can see the stars.
So lovely as you are, Genie.
Do you think we could go to Mars?
I haven't wished for anything yet.
So I think I shall begin.
I wish for no war,
death has become a pain.
Take this wish of mine and make it into reality.
I wish for health to all my family to come.
Now for my final wish, I know it's coming to a close.
I know you think I'd wish for more wishes,
but there is one thing that I know.
I want you to be free,
away from people like me,
from people who want things daily.
So now I bid you farewell,
I know you cannot deny.
Give me three wishes.

Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
The first question I feel compelled to ask is: do you, or do you not, have a rhyme scheme? I'm guessing no, so I suggest that you rewrite the lines that rhyme so that they don't rhyme; right now, their rhyming disrupts the flow of the poem.
Overall, while I liked the twist at the end, I felt that this poem was too simple. There's no imagery, and nothing that makes it stand out as really poetic. You also had a couple of lines (like the second) that just didn't make sense. I suggest that you expand this poem a bit, incorporate more imagery into it, and make it a touch more poetic. Just make sure that all your imagery is concrete and specific, and that it's tied together and to the main point of the poem.
Hey there!
I really like the idea of this--a poem about a genie. And the third wish is awesome. Definitely Aladdin-ish, but it made me smile nonetheless. And your ideas are pretty firm, which is great.
Like anything, it could use work, but hopefully I can help you a little with it.
So, really, it's just little things like consistency in rhyme and wording that my mind sort of tripped over. The concept is good and so is the organization for the most part.
I'd love to see it when you've edited.
Thanks for the read, and keep it up!
