i wrote this poem last year, with no notion that i would be posting it online, for people who actually care to see, anytime soon.

i jumped up high,
i jumped up far.
i fell aslep,
upon a star.

i drank up all,
the milky way.
and looked upon,
the earth that day.

blue and green,
no it was red.
covered in,
the blood we shed.

from the streets,
to cold hard war.
it was a sight,
of gross and gore.

for all the hate,
that we release.
i wish we'd trade,
it all for peace.

I'm going to give you a small bit of advice:

Take the idea you are trying to get across and drop the rhyme scheme. I feel your poem would be a lot stronger if you didn't have ABCB quatrains.

I like it. It's effective... there just isn't too much imagery and word choice could be more creative.
