Hi, Zoë Rae,
Welcome to writing.com. This is a lovely poem with a lovely sentiment, and I really enjoyed reading it. However, there are quite a few grammatical and spelling errors which need to be corrected.
If only I were still here. -'there'
The mountain streams, The wide open plains, The beautiful glacier lakes, - you do not need to capitalize "the", although I understand that you are trying to emphasize the ideas. If you want to use capitals then make each line a separate sentence
And when I die Bury me in the earth, covering the place, - you need a comma after 'die', and no need to capitalize 'bury'
I now lie with all of the beautiful colours of the rainbow, - don't need a comma at the end of the last line, and this line should be 'where I will lie', since you are not there yet, unless you are already dead.
So as I will never be forgotten and remembered always, - if you want to emphasize this idea then make it two sentences: So I will never be forgotten
So that I will be remembered always
Also you do not need the word 'as' in the sentence
Forever, Not for who or what we are but for where we are from, - but from thence we came - you should not end a sentence with a preposition, also do not capitalize 'Not'
a whole world devoid of colour, - need a comma after 'world' and also this sentence could easily be interpreted as wanting to see a black and white world. I understand what you are trying to say, and I applaud you for the sentiment, but maybe try this instead - 'devoid of the seeing of color,'
and sterio type, - stereo
indevidual - indiviual
and special gifts that make our lives compleate. - and 'with' special gifts - and 'complete'
beach, so beautiful and peaceful place. - maybe should be such a beautiful and peaceful a place
27/07/2010My beach, - needs a space after 2010
I am only giving this a three because of the many errors. I will be happy to re-rate it when you clean them up, because it really should have a higher rating. Always be sure to read and re-read your work, and take the time to correct these kinds of errors.
Best Wishes, Cynaemon |
