Every time you try you won't succeed but that doesn't mean you should quit.If you play baseball and your up to bat that doesn't mean you'll get a hit. If you play a game of bowling and go for a strike you might get stuck with a split, but sooner or later satisfactory will come when you get as far as you can get.

Sometimes I try to do things and come up with ideas that doesn't get very far but one out of ten ideas make it but to get that one you can't quit.

I like it! It's really easy to understand and it still doesn't sound like any age person could right it. It still has meaning.

Hmm..it was okay.

 

Split up your stanza's next time ,

and change satisfactory to satisfaction.

I like what you where trying to convey with your poem , and I wish it would have come across a little more clearly. Good job though :)

I thought this was pretty good!!!  The only thing I think needs improvement is the formatting.  Which might not be your fault, Teen Ink does weird stuff to the formatting we originally write it in.  Don't ever stop writing!!!!!!!! :D

Good job...my advice would be to split it up into stanzas.

Good job! Very nice. "Satisfactory" should be "satisfaction" though. :)

I really enjoyed your poem!! I liked the message. My only criticism is that it was a little difficult to read, but that would be fixed if you broke up the lines.

Nice rhyming! :) I know TI sometimes formats the poetry messed up, but if not I would recommend you to break up the lines. It'd make it a bit easier to read. Otherwise, good job!!! `"" Thumbs up!
