Really Good Poem?

Question

I've been taking a poetry class in high school for the past two years and presented my best piece of work for my final exam...my teacher gave me an A+ on it and said I should get it published...how does all that work and could I get paid for it...trust me the poem is extremely good and I haven't had one negative comment on it and I've asked all types of people..

Answer 1

Its cute and nicely put together-But its also cliche and predictable. For your age I am sure it is good, but the rhyme is a bit basic and childlike.

Answer 2

it's too much for me

Answer 3

I love it. Bloody brilliant! So evocative and the imagery? Wow! Wonderful work...thank you for sharing!

Answer 4

would you mind posting the poem here so we can "judge" it? don't get to ahead of yourself   ;)

Oh, and there are hundreds of extremley talented unpublished poets out there, some of the poems i have read online blow me away.

There is sooooo much undiscovered talent out there, some of the best poets alive havn't even had their work published.

Answer 5

I don't know what your teacher was thinking when she finished this poem. What I thought, was this poem is awfuly (curse) long, and needlessly repetitive. I think I got the point after paragraph three. Your teacher must be one of those giddy women who (I don't know the word for it) live in a world filled with false expectations. I just think you pulled a hair from her head with this one.
