who thinks this is a good poem?

It's short and to the point. The pain comes through uncomfortably. \n\nIt leaves no doubt about what it's about, yet leaves a lot to the imagination. I'm assuming the author meant to make the reader feel something, especially pain, grief and loss.  If so, they accomplished their goal. \n\nI'm interested in the "weird" book you found it in. What book?

as there is evil in the world,,,\nthere is also good....\nwhenever i see someone do something bad,\ni also see someone do something good.\nwhere there is pain,\nthere is also joy.\nwhere there are tears,\nthere is also laughter.\nwhere there is rain,\nthere is also the sun.\n\nokay, okay...i'm not trying to sound like a POOR  poet, but these are my true feelings...i know that i am a good person and get my feelings easily hurt and therefore isolate alot....it's not healthy and it's also very lonely.\nwe all come in contact w/good and bad on a a daily basis...

An interesting and sometimes-lovely poem. It's an acknowledgment of where and how the writer connects to his origins.\nPoetry doesn't need to make sense.  Like religion, it is often irrational.

Wow, very beautiful and powerful.  I particularly love the first 3 lines as well as the lines about sending peace and love, but little hate or envy.  \n\nKeep on writing!  :)

I would have to know what this is from and who wrote it.  If it is the lyrics to some song, I would say don't let young children hear it.  If it is the poetry of someone older and more mature expressing pain of life, that's okay.  If this has been written by some teenager or young person who is suffering, I would worry.  Yes, it is beautiful and a true sign of amazing talent and use of imagery and words, but it could signify a cry for help.  Hope someone is listening.

in my personal opinion its a good poem but i find poems are always better when the person has experienced what they are writing about whether or not its racism, abuse or love and you obviously have some skills as a poet but i think you could reach your full potential if you write about something you have been through

you seem like a good writer although I'm not the one to critique you....my speciality is poetry-free verse form.  good luck.

Being a poet myself, I have to say it's a good poem, but what it's saying is you are not really dealing with the pain and hurt too well. My heart goes out to you. I hurt for you, and also, identify with you. I'm compiling a book of my poems, called "Pain On Paper". The poetry for us is a release of our pain...........keep on writing! You're doing good! Talk to somebody though, a friend, a counselor.......\nSOMEBODY! Get the pain out!!

the mood is one of satisfaction. the writer is saying that when you have a fence dividing you, it does not "divide" but it prevents.the tone, i guess would be the same. Why exactly are you reading this poem? i had to for a school project.
