People mock me for who I am,
They all call me a fool.
Maybe I am, but at least I know
That they're all nothing but a tool.
At their graves I'll stand, just so
That they can mock me for who I am.

The Might of the Earth

The earth,
It comforts me,
Embraces me like arms,
And it holds me tight.
I like it; good stanza. All I think needs changing *might* be a semicolon after "me", otherwise it's good.

What's it worth?
We won't agree,
As it warms,
And for I fear its might.
Good. It takes awhile to get your head around, but I personally like that. That or I'm stupid :).

But being earth,
You’re never free,
You can’t whisper charms,
You won’t ever fight.
I'd put a period after "free" and a semicolon after charms. Otherwise, it's good.

You won’t give birth,
Except for my tree.
You won’t take up arms,
You won't use your might.

After all, you’re just earth.
Just lying there, never free.
You don’t have legs, you don’t have arms,
So away I go, into the night.
Good one! There are my corrections. I give it a 7 out of 10.

About Victory, Blashpemy, Glory, and Mercy
Blasphemy is misspelled.

Victory,
It slices,
It dices,
And goes unavenged.
Good.

Blasphemy,
I guess,
My life’s a mess,
But God won't care either way.

Glory,
It awaits us,
Just because
We wish to gain it.
Since you put punctuation everywhere else here, how about a colon, comma, or hyphen.

Mercy,
We beg for it,
As we don’t see ourselves fit
To die.
Same as above on punctuation, I suppose. Leaving it out or adding it are the proper ways of doing it, I believe.

Yet.
Great finish :). I give it a 7.5 out of 10.

Just a Single Touch

It made we wonder about life,
How fleeting, dark, and lonely it can be.
It makes me cause a lot of strife,
And gets me in trouble with the ones up high.

I think it's there,
Just to annoy me,
Just to remind me,
Of my own feebleness.
I'll never be me.

I guess I'm just like all the others,
Not special, mighty or rich.
I'm not that good as cannon fodders,
Yet I know how to get fired pretty well.

I think it's there,
Just to follow me,
Just to scare me,
To bring me fear -
I’ll never be free.

Yet today, life seems different.
Brighter, happier, better.
Yet it is not apparent,
For all those other people
I think there needs to be a period at the end of the last line. Maybe an "It's" at the start of the second line? Otherwise, great.

I think it's there,
Just to bless me,
Just to behold me,
For my own good.
And thus I won’t flee.

And it all started, with just a little something.
Just a single touch, your hand and mine.
I no longer have a wish to be nothing
Now it is to be with you.
Aside from being beautiful, there may need to be a comma after "nothing".

Just a single touch…
Who knew it'd make my mind wander off?
The salvation of the people
Lies in hope, dreams, truth and love.
Beautiful. It's deep; it goes from some sadness to joy and to hope. These are some of my favorite types of poems. I give it a 8 out of 10!

A Lonely Life

I’m walking here, all alone.
Yet I won’t cry.
For what’s the use of crying,
Whining, yelling, running,
When you’re on you own?

The street is empty, time flies by.
My life is empty.
My heart is dark.
My eyes are tired.
Which makes me wonder: why?

Why am I all alone?
The answer’s hidden far below
In my dark, empty heart.
I try to recover it, by myself,
Yet it chills me to the bone.
Maybe after "below", put a comma or hyphen?

I’ve found the solution
Yet I wish to lose it.
I don’t want to know,
Don’t wish to remember any more,
Because I fear the retribution.
Maybe punctuation after "solution"?

I killed them all, I must acknowledge
That my soul is dark, dark and empty.
Hell is near, I feel its presence.
I’m a child of dark alleys.
And I never even went to college.
Maybe replace a dark with "sinister"? And if you want, punctuation after "acknowledge".

Now I lead a lonely life,
All others fell before me.
They all have died, they all are gone.
Their lives shall all have been in vain.
Just because of all that strife.
Instead of a period after "vain", I'd put a hyphen or a comma, because the last line isn't a sentence (I don't *think* it is). Otherwise, great! I give it a 8 out of 10.

A Prophecy

Once Light and Dark go down together,
And the other elements live in strife,
All living creatures pestered by weather,
More and more shall lose their life.
Then shall rise a God from feather.
I'd put a period after "strife".

The God shall shout and bark and bite;
Uncaring, unliving, undying, unreal.
He shall destroy those who put up a fight,
By making them They Who Truly Feel.
Such is this God, black nor white.

No man can kill him, all shall fall.
No weapon can harm him, he'll just laugh.
No fool can find him, yet he ain't small.
No might will destroy him, not on our behalf.
Only one thing will stop him, and that is the all.
Good. I don't know about "ain't", but the rest is fine. I give it a 7.5 out of 10.

quote:


The Eternal Oath of Light

In a spring breeze,
In peace after the fight,
In the shining sun;
We found the light.
A semicolon or a comma could work there. I'd go for the comma, but your choice.

Bringing hope,
Banishing thwarts,
Granting life,
It fuels our hearts.

Feeding good,
Bringing strength,
The shining sun,
A weapon's length.

Evil banished,
The dark repelled,
As long as the light's there,
Fear shall be expelled.

For whenever light may shine upon us,
There shall be shadows, not always in sight.
Without light, there'd be no darkness,
Yet without dark, there'd be no light.
Very philosophical. I like that. "There'd'" isn't a word though. Still, it's poetry. You can use it. I give it a 7.5 out of 10 for polished-ness.

Words of a Simple Man

Once the time comes when we die.
At that time we'll know.
That all we did was futile.
And yet we won't feel sorrow.
For the ones left behind so brutal.
At that time when we die.

Live, love, laugh.
Words easily said.
When in life the darkness falls,
And all our wisdom has cowardly fled,
There won't be any goodbye calls.
No life, no love, no laugh.

People mock me for who I am,
They all call me a fool.
Maybe I am, but at least I know
There are no 'ones', one is a mere tool.
At their graves I'll stand, just so
That they can mock me for who I am.
Maybe a semicolon after the first "am". After "know", a hyphen or comma could work there. Maybe after "so" as well. But only if you want to.

I can't bear no more,
I can exist no longer.
I'll die here, empty, all alone,
Yet In my life, I did get stronger.
In death at last: a heart of stone.
I won't have to bear no more.
"Can't bear no more" is a double negative, in case you want to change it for "can't bear any more". Same with the last sentence, it feels almost the same as the double negative but more proper. Very good, though:7.5 out of 10.

When Mastin Speaks...

When Mastin speaks the bells ring,
All horses raise their head.
All stand still and pay attention
When king Mastin speaks ahead.

Mastin, king, lord of the land,
Was noble, honest and good,
Yet of course there was a villain,
Who spread the darkness wherever he could.
Maybe a period after "good".

Then the king, deeply troubled,
Spoke to those with bravest heart:
"Who of you shall slay this villain,
His name be John MacZard!"
ROFLZ!!11...eh...erhm.

Even the bravest shivered,
They all had heard that name.
The strongest man in all the land,
His body as of flame.
I'd put "His body be as of flame" or "His body was as of flame".

Then a young man came forth and spoke,
Kneeling before the mighty king:
"I, my lord, shall slay this dread man,
All I ask's a single thing."
I think "ask is" is fine in the last line.

"Then speak up, young man, now,
We cannot wait forever.
This man has done us only bad,
He may reach the castle, never!"

"I'm afraid, my lord, I'll need your rings,
For they hold quite strong magic.
I know all about their power
And their history, oh so tragic."
A hyphen after power could give it even more effect.

The king was unsure, but he agreed,
As John MacZard was quite a threat.
If he would ever reach the castle,
Even the king would break a sweat.

And so the young man began his journey,
Never to return.
John MacZard disappeared as well,
Here the tale of our concern:
Either you meant "Here is" or "Hear" in the last line, I think.

The two men met at a road to dusk,
Standing there, completely still.
They looked each other in the eye,
A battle of pure will.

When both their minds remained unscathed,
The swords where drawn at speed.
They charged, and charged and charged again,
Neither would concede.

Yet then came the strength of this evil villain,
His power proved unmatched.
For when at last their swords clashed,
Our hero's sword at last detached.

Two man at a road to dark.
Only one of them left standing.
Then our hero spoke to him,
And called him quite outstanding.
I think you meant "Two men" ,not "two man" in the first line.

A cursed wound, bleeding heavily,
Our hero would not last much longer.
Yet suddenly rescue arrived,
And the dawn proved stronger.

For where moon should have risen,
The sun appeared, and shone his light
Upon these destined men.
They would no longer have to fight.

The rings gave of a bright light,
And then something did occur.
What it was, nobody knows,
As the only witnesses had fur.

And so the nameless defeated the famous,
A victory known far and wide.
A nameless one had slain this evil
And for that cause he died.
I would put "He had died" in the last sentence because of syllables.

So when you are a nameless,
And nobody recognizes you,
Remember this tale, once in a while,
For truth may just happen to be untrue.

And still king Mastin makes the bells ring,
Gives all the nameless hope again.
All shall silently pay attention
When the nameless slay the dread.
Maybe "And" at the beginning of the second line? And perhaps a comma or hyphen after attention? Otherwise, it's *excellent*! I like epics. I give it a 8.5 out of 10.

quote:

Again, as long as there is not a period or no punctuation at all, the sentence continues. However, I noticed that NOT using punctuation in this case made a perfectly correct sentence, and yet that sentence somehow got a short break at the end of the line (like after 'because' and 'fit'). I appreciate the suggestion, though.
