A Poet's Decree
A Poet's Decree
My rhymes are empty
And this soul is bland
Words come out easily
Yet there is nothing there
To make a piece for masters
There are many things at hand
Not love or sorrow, nor laughter or pain
But earth, wind, fire, and rain
With these building blocks in hand
Men that know the land
Plan for a new beginning
Creating a wonder for all of man
I recognize my failure
To show every woman and man
The world is all around us
Yet we hold it in our hands
I try to show the world
The places I have been
But no one else can experience
The journey I have seen
Just wanting some C&C. Still in the draughting stage.

Re: A Poet's Decree
I think the beginning is a little rusty, but the ending is really powerful. I really like that you incorporated that no one could have the same path as you, so everyone experiences things differently. Overall, I think it's really interesting and fun to read. I just think that the first stanza doesn't mesh with the others yet. Great job!
