The leaves are falling. Hear them whisper to the ground. The fragments leave the tree bare, exposed from all around.
Left alone in the harsh of Winter, the tree is left weakened in frosty air. And if trees had feelings, the tree would be feeling despair.
But humans do have feelings. And humans can do wrong. Causing each other pain, fights can last many years long.
A family is falling out. Hear the mother and father fight. Children will be left alone in the dead of the night.
Please rate fairly in the comments. I hope this is an OK poem. There is a hidden meaning in the first two stanzas which is explained a little in the last two stanzas.

Rhyming ✓ Meaning ✓ Emotion ✓
Checks good on my list. The "ogre" thing is part of that guy's TROLL LOVING personality. |

| There's a whole meme based around shrek, and he seems to like it. It's similar to doge. |

Well the first stanza was definitely great. However, the rest feel a bit too forced to rhyme. It was interesting how you compared trees to children, however.
And I must ask; was "winter" (line 5) capitalized on purpose? |

| I know this is a bit pathetic for someone who is writing poems, but I'm honestly not sure of it should be. It probably shouldn't now that I realize that winter isn't capitalized unless you're talking about a specific winter, say, Winter of 1978. I was in my world of poem stuff at the time and didn't catch that mistake. Thank you for telling me. |

@XJeff #1. Eww. Terrible video. #2. Completely irrelevant.
Please take the time to realize that there is no reason to be posting such nonsense on a thread for a poem. If you want attention, please go on to " Off Topic" and start a "Shrek is love, Shrek is life." thread. |

@Pryd7
Please explain how this is related to GoT. I don't mean that in a taunting way, I mean I just haven't watched GoT. :P |

@dragon
MAJOR SPOILERS
Basically in series one, the winter is coming and a young boy falls from a tower (the falling leaves bit) and also, the poem reminds me of the landscape, "Fights can last years long" there was a massive war in the past in GoT
In the first season, there is the Stark Family, and they start falling out and right at the end the father is killed for treason and the mother flees north, leaving their children alone
That's how it reminds me of GoT |

It's interesting, but it uses forced rhyme. Poetry doesn't need rhyme to thrive, it doesn't need rhyme to even be good. Poetry is meant to have a rhythm and a soul, but it does not inherently need rhyme.
Anyway, the poem could be made much better if you focus on conveying the message better rather than trying to mix a theme, a story, and a rhyme. Forcing a rhyme to occur only devalues your poem. |

@Pryd7 Thanks. Nice job for making that connection! Pretty impressive. I can definitely see the relation in that poem and GoT.
@ConvexPolygon Please get out of my life. If you don't like me, you don't have to go on all my other threads that I've been on and comment something mean. Please just get a life and get out of mine. And please don't follow me on game because that can count as stalking.
Sincerely, someone who really doesn't like you. |
