  • I thought it was good, I think in the first stanza, you used too many "Though's" But not bad, I will want to read the next part. Keep up the good work. =)

    Hello again : )

    Try:
    "To see and understand their world" - love the way first verse rhymes!
    "It makes those in POOR countries ill" - spelling
    "If we lose one species it affects those who EATS them."
    "For saving this world and all LIVING things"
    "On HERE including other people around us"

    ... I'm sorry Fire-Lilly to be so harsh, but this doesn't seem poetic to me at all, the lines read as though you have chopped up a paragraph to make it fit a narrower page. Seems more like a diary note to me or a English paper. But hey don't loose hope - with this you can always fix it, just use the points you've made in this to make lines of a poem. Takes a bit of practice and it's not always easy but you have alot of material to work with here. You started off great with the first verse, so keep that and work from there : )
    2/5 from me, it has potential.

    Well done for being original in terms of subject. The powerful subject and truthfulness of it is very much welcomed by me, and I hope it sends a worthwhile message to everyone.
    I'm not going to point out as many errors as I did in my other comment but on the second line of the first stanza it should be "bright eyes of those..."
    Thanks for sharing.

    I think this is a great poem. It makesw a person open their eyes to what is happening around them. I agree with it, we should be out there helping to save the world not destroying it. great poem 5/5

    I like how you ended the poem with a rhetorical question, it gave it a very powerful effect. I think this poem would go under Life and Society. You are talking about saving the world and what people can do to help, afterall. Good job on this poem!

    Wow.
    I have to admit, you are very creative.
    Who would've thought,
    You could use the punctuation and the format that you used.
    It's really, really smart :]
    For that, I will give you a five :p
