I Love The Buddha

by kris

I love the Buddha,
He's who I want to be.
Like the time he sat beneath the bodhi,
to set his essence free.

I love the Buddha,
He seems to know all.
When he wrote his four noble truths,
laid out why men fall.

I love the Buddha,
He's always so calm.
In deep contemplation with folded legs,
a wheel on his palm.

I love the Buddha,
He's every one's friend.
He does not teach of other's failings,
he has patience to spend.

I love the Buddha,
He is enlightened.
To him death is the ultimate release,
so don't be frightened.

I love the Buddha.
...He's who I'd like to be.

I really, really, really thought this poem was okay.
It needs a lot, lot, lot more meaning to it though. And the repetition was very, very, very annoying.
See what I mean?
But seriously, the poem didn't really catch my attention. I already forgot about it. Also, your ending was very anti climatic.

But I do however like the idea. So keep that up, please!

I know what you're thinking: Why is this girl always critiquing my poems? Well, it's because you always manage to have catchy titles (to me, anyway :wink:).

My first impression is that this poem doesnt really speak to me but it is very well put together and runs through perfectly. I like it keep it up
