Replacement- Now a poem because I'm too lazy to make it an actual story

Archive: 3 posts


Yes, I needed to write a poem for school, and I think it's purty gewd, but I wrote in an hour, so I thought I'd ask what ya'll think

1.The Sun rises yet again
2.Here on my face of regret
3.Meaning is a difficult thing to mend
4.Perhaps now is the time to repent?

5.Seven Years since the accident
6.That killed a young man
7.Seven Years since the Experiment
8.That proved just what man can

9.Parents who could not let go
10.And took part in an experiment
11.Took their darling boy
12.And made him a Replacement

13.Seven years I've lived his life
14.With sorrow in my soul
15.For although I live, I feel his scythe
16.The aura of his soul, on my existence, taking its toll

17.What is the meaning of birth?
18.Why should it matter why I'm here?
19.All I know is that I have girth...
20.But is that not enough, I fear?

21.Meaning is a difficult question
22.And it's sorrows make me moan
23.But we must fess up and make our confessions
24.I am, indeed, a clone.

25.But what difference does it make?
26.The circumstances of my creation
27.For while I live to continue someone else's sake
28.That doesn't make me a replacement


I have quite a few problems, namely lines 19 and 22... but I couldn't think of better rhymes then "moan" and "girth" so, um... thoughts/comments/anything? :/

Nice job! The poem is very interesting, as cloning is. And yes, it is great. I give it a 8.693265728168965728935/10, as some of the lines (as you mentioned) don't make as much sense as they should.

And really, no longer poems really make complete sense.

I give it a 9/10. I liked it, because it describes the situation without reading over and over and over... and over. For sentence 22, moan is good, but sentence 19's girth, not that much. Maybe something like "I only exist on this Earth" or something like that. Anyways, good poem.2009-12-04 03:03:00
