Bird

by KelsRich1

Published June 27, 2011

I want to be a bird.
Nothing would make me happier,
Than to fly away.
To open my wings and soar through the heavens,
gliding on air and
That wild elation you get;
That makes you feel invincible
I want to be a bird.
I want to fly away,
and never come back.

This was great, but like stated earlier, only problem was the punctuating/capitolizing. Great sense of emotion.

Touching poem, KelsRich1! This is very reminiscent of Kelly Clarkson's song, "Breakaway"; I like how this poem reminds me of it! I see you already fixed your punctuation errors, so I have nothing to critique for you!

Other then that, my favorite lines were this:

"That wild elation you get;
That makes you feel invincible
I want to be a bird.
I want to fly away,
and never come back."

Keep it up!

Hi there! Here is, as promised, the reveiw of your entry to my contest. I think your poem was a great start. Maybe you want to make it longer, or add a few more details, but the concept was great, and even though it is worn out you gave it a new light in this poem. I couldn't find any bad things about it. So, great job and keep writing.

I like this because I know this = your emotions. That's what poetry is all about! Emotion. I agree with the other comments. Fix the highlighted things. I really like this. Keep it coming! Write your feelings in a notebook or something and great poems will be born :D Keep it up :)

This is very cute. It could definitely use some work but that is the magic of writing. Fix the things Ignatius5453 mentioned and that will help a lot.
Well done, and as always,
Keep Writing,

It wasn't bad, just needed some fixing in the punctuation and capitalization department, but other than that, it was awesome. I loved that it was short, easy to read, but still had something meaningful inside of it. Keep up the good work, Keep Writing!
