Family Blues (wrote this for class)

by Mallory   Jun 9, 2008


My family is changing
I don't want it to.
Yes my family is changing
and I don't want it to.
My parents are getting divorced
and yes it's true.

We sat on the couch
and had a family meeting.
Yes we sat on the couch
and had a family meeting.
The news that they gave us
didn't bring a great greeting.

I wish it didn't happen
I wish i didn't know.
I wish it won't happen
so I'd never know
All I know is
I'm gonna miss him so.

    "My family is changing
    I don't want it to.
    Yes my family is changing
    and I don't want it to."
    -You said the same thing twice. We now your family is changing, and you don't want it to. Just say it once, I think the reader understands. :)

    "We sat on the couch
    and had a family meeting.
    Yes we sat on the couch
    and had a family meeting."
    -Again, don't repeat your lines. Once is enough. The reader understands your point.

    "I wish it didn't happen
    I wish i didn't know.
    I wish it won't happen
    so I'd never know
    All I know is
    I'm gonna miss him so. "
    -Capitolize your I again. ;) Make the poem neat. :]]
    -Again, you did some repeating. But in this case, I think it's alright for this stanza. It didn't throw me off like the other stanzas did.

    Sorry, I'm picky. I've been tought so much about poetry from comments that I've gotten, and I try my best to pass it on to others, so they can improve their poetry as well as I can improve mine. :] Hope you consider my suggestions. :) Keep improving! 3/5
