My goal in this one was to make it short, sweet and to the point. i wanted every word to be just as powerful as the next and i didn't want any unessisary lines. i don't think i achieved that like i wanted to. tell me what ya think.


Arriving early, staying late.
Never an argument or debate.
The answers yes and never no.
Always smiles when on the go.

When paths are curved turn them strait.
If need is high never wait.
It's joy for me, what I do.
Cuz all I do is done for you.

~Could you also tell me if this poem even makes sence.

sure it made sense  

just the one thing..you wanted it to be succint and bereft of unnessasary words...well i know that your rythm( ) and rhyme will be affected by the change, but i dont think "debate" is nessessary if youve used argument or vise versa.

its fine as it is but im just nit picking...good poem Miss, i liked it.

Yes, it makes sense! I thought it was short and sweet! Definately sweet! It is good!

It takes more work to love myself than to love others... I guess that explains it, eh?

I did like this a lot. And yes, it made sense.   Great job, you did well.

Yes, it makes perfect sense. One thing you might want to watch out for is the spelling mistakes too. Sometimes even the slightest can take away from the credibility of the piece.
Other than that I liked what you were saying. Thanks for sharing this and remember to reply too.
