tell me what you think of my poem!

Post Reply New Topic

this one goes out to the quiet ones
who are often cast a scornful eye
who endure many vicious taunts
With a collective sigh

This one goes out to the plain ones
Whose looks don?t always shine
whose enemy is February
for they receive no valentines

this one goes out to the strange ones
who we may never comprehend
who consider it an honor
just to have a single friend

this one goes out to the loners
who wear a badge of seclusion with pride
who are not afraid to sit alone
or store their soul inside

and this one goes out to all outcasts
of all colors, genders, and creeds
for the world truly needs diversity
and you will plant the seeds

Good poem. You should try to get it published in a poetry anthology.

Not a big fan of the whole "this one goes out to" thing but I actually like it, it's really good!

It almost reminds me of the song "The One I Love" by R.E.M. only because of the this one goes out to part of it. It has both song and poem potential. I LOVE it!! It also puts me in mind of "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles. I like to imagine Willy Nelson singing it. Get a copyright on it ASAP!! ! It it did become a song, it has a lot of potential to where it can be put. It can be a background theme to educational videos on Bullying or it can be worked/edited into a pop or even country song. A lot can happen with it. One just has to use their imagination.
