My Present

I wrote this poem and had RE Potter look it over. ...

There Is Only One Star, Chapter 5

THE BEGINNING The year of reflecting...

Beginning = Ending

         Before we were, it was empty

         A land mass formed and created a haven

         The air became entirely flirty

         And everything became even

 

         Babies called Angels flew around the world

         Creating the living sanctuary

         It was as the created oceans whirled

         The Angels became wary

 

         They flew in disgust

         Away from this place

         Because the wars grew the strongest

         And the land misplaced

        

         Things disguised as beauty

         Have taken over this world so ugly

         Buildings became too rooty

         And wars became too holy

 

         The sky began its transformation to gray

         As it burned its true color

         Everything began to fray

         As everything grew duller

        

         That’s how the world began

         And that’s how the world will end

I'm not sure what to think of this... I don't know what buildings becoming too rooty means. Or the air becoming flirty. This had good rhythm and structure, but I'm not sure I get what the message is.

I guess it was a bit complicated to show. Practically I tried to describe an unrealistic beginning to the world. And the phrase" Buildings became too rooty" describes how companies and factories and skyscrapers spread (like roots). And "The air became entirely flirty" expresses how we became to breathe, the air started to "flirt" with organisms, bringing them to us.

I hope that helps.
