If you could see a world
Clear and new
Sparkling from the freshest star
If you could smell grass
Perfect evergreen
Of tender places from afar
If you could feel
A breeze from the night
While looking at the brightest star
If you could taste
The pure, clean air
That makes you leave your mouth ajar
Then you would know
The feeling of
Being where all the plain, true worlds are.

Hi, I'm firepen. This poem is pretty good. I think it will mean a different thing to each person. I like the way you describe an perfect world, knowing that it will never be the case. I think that some lines don't need to be split up - 'Then you would know the feeling of' would be better all on one line. Also, I think you could split this up into stanzas - maybe each one three lines long because that would easily work in the poem. And maybe, a little bit of repetition might be quite good in this poem - maybe you cold do something with the 'if you' lines and then change it for the last three lines? I hope this helps!

I love this poem because honestly I believe that it tells or speaks to the reader how bad and messed up our world is. And that there could be a better civilization Thayer could live in.



I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.
