Life

In my life there is no quiting.
In my life there is no sitting.
In my life you must be ready or else life will noodle your ass like spagetti.
Only the strong will survive, so bow down and thank god your alive.
*LiFe Is ThE UlTiMaTe SiN*

So you must be strong, to have lived this long.
You still stand tall.
you never seem to fall, or tumble.
You're always Ready to Rumble.
But i know one day you will stumble.
Because life is hard and your body will crumble.

    A few pointers.

    Poetry is a lot of things to a lot of people, but there are a few things people generally agree on.

    Poetry is word art. Poetry, if done properly, is work.

    For the most part, you want to use spellcheck and whatever kind of grammar check that you can find. MS Word will highlight a lot of potential snares.

    There are a few different sorts of rhyme. Keel and coal is an example of slant rhyme (I believe). It should be avoided for most polished work. Use exact rhyme whenever possible.

    Pedestrian rhyme is the overuse of simple one and two syllable words for rhyming pairs. Such words are a necessity for the bulk of most poems, but always look for opportunities to use more sophisticated rhymes when you can.

    Forced rhyme... adding extra syllables or using a word which doesn't quite fit due to its definition for the sake of its end line sound.

    Of course you need to check for problems when you use "your" when you mean "you're" ("Your always ready to rumble." is wrong.)

    I can't cover everything right now... gotta get some shuteye.
