The Question

I have a question that has been on my heart
Actually a few, so here will I start
 
What happens at the end of a book?
What will happen if I take a look?
 
If I look past that very last page
Past the tale and into the next age
 
What happens next, will I ever find out?
What is it that the story is really about?
 
Is there really a happily ever after?
Is that the end, or will it continue hereafter?
 
Where do you go from there?
What becomes of those who care?
 
In the distance I hear a call
Join up arms and fight the stall
 
Fight for a look past the end
Make it go on, we have more time to spend
 
Make the story keep on going
Make the pages keep on showing
 
What happens next, I'm curious to know
What do the characters do, where do they go?
 
So that, ladies and gentlemen, is my question
Rise if you will and let's begin our session

Hey lancemccoy!
First of all let me just say straight up that I didn't find this very entertaining or captivating. Your style, in my opinion, is better suited to writing stories. Poem's like this aren't very looked at by the community, because it isn't a very fluid writing style that mature writers use these days. I'm not sure how everyone else feels about this but I'm personally on the side of really captivating poems that tell a good story. Next thing is the last verse. I would like to come straight up and say it dosent make any sense at all. What session and what is the question? After I read this I was still puzzeled to what the question was. I think that if you want to keep writing poems like this then you have to improve on the things I suggested. But all in all this is a great effort with some verses that make sense and good rhyming at some points.

sorry if you think this is to harsh,

Jordan :D

Hey Jordan!
Thanks for the comment! I appreciate your honesty. Maybe I should stick to writing stories. I think I tried to hard to make the poem rhyme and didn't focus enough on how it was structured. That's probably why it doesn't make much sense.
Anyway, Thanks again for the comment! I appreciate it!
