I had to write a poem for school... I don't know if it's any good, or if it makes any sense. It doesn't have correct punctuation yet, but a bit of help would be great. :)


Fresh and clean through the mirror I see
But a sordid shell of one deprived of sight
And upon venturing deeper, so begins the delightful fright
Shades of violet imbue the air, caging the formerly free
Adrenaline lethargically coats my veins as I watch the girl in the mirror flee
A vortex opens, cackling at what once lay within my right
Perception falls from objects to shapes to paper cutouts, ready to ignite
Incinerate these eyes, I can but pitifully plea
My lids close gently, my body sways—for a flash, so disappears the unreality
Fluttered open, my pupils shallowly gaze at those staring straight back
Tense muscles fall limp as the violet vortex fades
Yet propped-up cutouts remain—Surreal, I beg, do not return to reality
A reluctant sigh plays through my lips, and my world stumbles to black
Freedom is vicious, I reflect as tears crawl out of my eyes, dripping in somber yellow shades.

it's your poem, u do it.

So you were born, and that was a good day
Someday you'll die, and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away

It's done... I'm just not sure that it makes sense. That's what I was hoping for help with. Just a fresh pair of eyes?

I made myself anonymous because I'm embarrassed about the having to write a poem, not because I have yet to include proper punctuation (that's just silly).

Poems are what makes up music and such.

No need to be embarassed about showing your creativity with words and stanzas.   Ah well,....

In any event, all I can say is to read it to yourself and you'll see where punctuation is needed.  What if I suggest to punctuate where you dont want punctuation?

I suppose I'm just not a big fan of poetry, so it's particularly embarrassing.

That would be great, if you'd like. I'm actually not seeking help with punctuation. I plan on putting the punctuation in soon. (I reread what I originally posted, and it was a bit confusing.) I'm really just wondering if this is making any sense... because of course, it makes sense to me, but there could easily be a failure in communication, you know?
