Mountains(rewriten)

by Brittany C   Dec 22, 2006


The mountains in the distance,
high above the plains below.
Like a King high up on his thrown,
the ruler over all other land forms.

These ancient wonders of the world,
showing off there beauty, for all to
be weightiness to, near and far.
A place where all sound echos.

These snow caped mountains,
show there anger by throwing
their snow down on any who
dear enters there sacred domains.

    "Like a King high up on his thrown," should be "Are like a king high up on his thrown"

    "weightiness" should be "witnessed"..

    wow besides those I really loved this poem it was very originaly and something that I hardly ever see.. the only critique I have is that it doesnt sound like the poem is finished I think that you need one more stanza to wrap the poem together and it could be amazing. beautiful job.

    Like the material. Mountains have enormous significance and symbolism in many different areas. Unfortunately, Grammar, wording, and typos severely detract from the overall quality of the poem.

    line2. 'below' is repetitive. If mountains are above, everyone knows they are below. However, if the idea was to emphasize the diminished importance of the plains against the grandeur of the mtns, than try using another word to accomplish this.

    line3. 'high' - repetition.
    'up on' - awkward. Don't need 'up', just cut it out. '/high/ on his thrown'

    line5. grammar - get rid of the comma. No need for it after the clause

    line6. typo - 'there' should be 'their'

    line7. typo? - 'weightiness'? If that's the write word it's very awkward and disrupts the flow. Should it be 'witness'?

    line9. grammar- remove comma at end of line - obstructs flow

    line10. typo - 'there' should be 'their'
    line11. 'their' - repetition. Find another descriptor to identify the mountains so it sounds less... bland

    line 12. typo? - 'dear' should be 'dare'?
    typo - 'there' should be 'their'

    This poem can improve dramatically with revision. Keep it up!
