Can someone help me with this poem

Postby Grangeco » Tue Nov 25, 2014 2:05 pm

The world is shining dark and bright
The contrast blinding similarities slight
No haven no port no shelter in sight
The darkness glaring the light shine bright


A beacon I see with my own bare eyes
A truth among a sea of lies
A smiling face, a greeting hand
A life among the barren land

I walk on my way
the dark less empty
the light less bright
the wind more slight
and smoke less sooty

What do you need help with?

The only thing you should change is the lowercase I into an uppercase I. And maybe add a comma in between 'a smiling face' and 'a greeting hand'.

This looks like freeverse, I'll change it up but this is your poem, your ideas.

"The World is shining, through darkness, bright
The contrasts blinding, similarities slight
No haven, no port, no shelter in sight
The darkness may win, no glaring presence of light

A beacon I see with my own eyes
A truth stranded among a sea of lies
A smiling face, a greeting hand
A life among the barren land

I walk on my way
The dark less empty
Even the light less bright
World, inflicted with blight
The wind more slight
And smoke less sooty
The feeling of dulness
Has become soothing"

PS. Feel free to TG me.
