Don’t Quit

Your being very lazy
When all you want to do is sit
Your not going crazy
You just want to quit

When life gets tough
And you don’t know what to do
don’t get rough
Because you can change it too

Success will come
It may take a while
But that’s enough
To make you go that extra mile

You may want to end it
Leave it for someone else to do
But then you quit
And set a bad example too

The Red Sox took 86 years
Just to win the World Series
Many fans shed tears
But the team didn’t sit and eat berries

The Red Sox team tried their best
They never quit
They didn’t rest
They went for it

We need to achieve ours dreams
It may seem like forever
But soon you’ll gleam
And everyone will know your very clever

Ummmm. Nora, no offence, but this isn't your best work. It does rhyme, it just doesn't flow very well. Spelling is great and it looks pretty well organized so, nice write. I'm not really interested in baseball. That is what the redsox play right? I'm a football kind of girl. There isn't much left to say......

Hey Nora,

Yes, like everyone else said not one of my favorite by you… so far.
I think that with a little bit of polish this poem could rock!

And, umm, I don’t dislike the Red Sox, but… umm, maybe not for this poem? If what this is for is supposed to be something deep, I wouldn’t use them, I mean their a good example for other things, but with a poem that is trying to “promote” a deeper side, baseball just doesn’t cut it, no offence.
Btw, I didn’t know what/who the Red Sox’s were either, so I’m not dissin on em  

Also, on a couple of the stanzas they do not make sense to me, and on this one,

”We need to achieve ours dreams
It may seem like forever
But soon you’ll gleam
And everyone will know your very clever”


this stanza has nice rhythm, but the line, “soon you’ll gleam”, I’m not sure I’d use it there, it is the right word, but it has a couple different meanings, and when I first read this I instantly thought of a different one than the intended.

I did like this stanza though,

” Success will come
It may take a while (maybe it’s “awhile”?)
But that’s enough
To make you go that extra mile”
,

I know that it isn’t supposed to be funny, but I thought it was, cause I was kind of thinking “extra mile”, “smile”? Yes, I’m an idiot…

So, even though I didn’t, think this was one of your better ones, I’m still going to say good write, because it has a lot of potential in it.
