Hi everyone, please don't laugh at my really rubbish poem displayed below...

As I study I wonder what will come,
The heart ache, the pain, will I face them one by one?
Will I be strong enough to handle the pain and the anguish?
For I am young, I know nothing of the world.

As I rest I wonder who I really am,
Will I reach goals I have set myself?
Will I be the person who I long to be?
For I have no wisdom, I yearn to have wisdom.

As I dream I wonder where I will go,
Will I travel to countries never seen?
Will I eat with people never heard to rest of the world?
For I have no knowledge, I long to have knowledge.

As I ponder through old pictures I wonder what I will see,
Will I see power and fortune?
Will I see the damned and the untrustworthy cheat on me?
For I have no experience, I long to have experience.

As I eat I wonder what I will feel,
Will I feel happy, loved or trusted?
Will I feel hurt by the actions of others?
For I feel nothing, I long to feel happy.

As I wonder through these words just written,
I wonder are they signifigent to you?
Or will they be worthless?
The future has all of the answers, I long to find the answers.

Wow...I will be totally honest with you...I love it! I think this is a wonderful poem, it's not rubbish, my exact feelings. I have wondered about these things over and over again, but all this wondering doesn't bring you anywhere, cause I'm still standing in te same place.

To find all these things, you must be willing to live out there in te real world, beyond poetry, quite scary I might add, cause I took a peek...

Great poem! Keep it up!

Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.

Hey, WELCOME TO PASSIONS!!!!  I really enjoyed your poem.  I think that at one point in time everyone has these exact same thoughts.  Keep up the good work.

Welcome to Passions!!

This is definently not "rubbish". I know how you feel, wanting to find answers in a world that seems to have none. But you can achieve all these things you've written about! We are all still young, and we have our lives ahead of us. And the future is ours for the taking, it's there for us to mold. Again, welcome!

Hi everyone,
I would just like to say..."Thanks a bunch" for your wonderful and generous comments.  You have turned my bad day into a good one, I feel really good now!
This was in truth, my first poem that I have ever written!  I don't know how to structure them...anyone got any tips and advice for me?
Thanks a lot, I hope to write more soon.
Michelle.

What a wonderful entrance Michelle ... this is a wonderful, inquisitive and thought-provoking poem!  

Welcome to Passions!    

Best wishes,
/Kit

PS. I noticed you also asked about where to learn more about poetic structure.  If you go to the main forum (top left corner icon), then scroll down to Poetry and Prose Workshops, you may find just what you're looking for there.  Enjoy!

Love it!!!  We all go thru life asking ourselves what our future will be.  Nobody knows the answer to that but us because our future is what we make of it.  One thing I know about the future though is that I'd love to read more of your writing

Acire...thanks a lot again, you have helped to build my confidence up greatly.  As I have mentioned previously this was the first poem that I have ever constructed before so I didn't think it would be any good.
I look forward to reading your poetry in the future.
Michelle.

That poem was excellent, and so true.  Thank you for that.  I can relate closely to those words.

First and foremost....welcome to passions! Hope you enjoy it here as we all do. Now this poem, is much more than rubbish...wow! Definatly has interesting form, quality, and sentimental meaning within each and every word. I think I've felt as you do, but never could make much sense out of it to explain it as you did in this piece. Great writting keep at at! I'm definatly gonna be lookin' for your name.
