Where there's a hero, there's a villain for sure,
And together the two weave the tales that endure;
They often grow taller in mists of the past,
Though some are forgotten, by others surpassed.
Take every story with a good pinch of salt,
For no man is perfect, they all have their faults.
Your life's but a tale, you're the star of its stage,
A show guaranteed to grow different with age.
O, no one but you knows the taste of your life,
Whatever the blessings, whatever the strife;
Forget all the voices of the crowds that complain,
They've always been chanting that constant refrain.
Just shore up your courage, and hold up your head,
What matters is now, not the life that you led;
Step forth into freedom from shackles that bind,
What's ahead is ahead, what's behind is behind.
Let the masses spew venom, for you will prevail,
At the turn of the hour, comes the twist in the tale!!!

I found this write to be well done.. I can't say if I love it or even like it.... this is why..... You have captured light, and darkness in the same glass bottle for all to see.. This is not an easy task, and a task you have made to look easy. Well Done dear poet. Please keep penning amazing work!!!
-
you just like this poem? ...i LOVE it!!! a fabulous write, from its beginning to its end! loved the take on the quote, loved the underlying message, your word formation kept me utterly entranced... you certainly are a talented writer
thanks for the entry, and good luck in the competition!!

The message this poem gives me is that there's always going to be darkness in this world, but light will always be more significant...Beautiful indeed.
-
very interesting poem. I like how the background makes you feel like a super hero flying thru the air...or am I the only one that thinks that...? oh well great write and good luck in the contest.

that's a lovely little ditty - flows well and comes across well!

Strong, confident, and didactic.
I feel that you have a slight problem with the metre here, though. The dominant rhythm is from the eleven-syllable lines, arranged iamb-anapest-anapest-anapest-anapest (alternatively three amphibrachs and an iamb); the majority of the lines conform to this, with the exceptions of lines 1, 2, 5, 16, 17, and 18. Normally I wouldn't worry about this, but the minority lines tend to stick out when a pattern is so dominant, making a reader stumble.
I can tell that you're pleased with this poem, however, and as long as you have said what you wanted to say, how you wanted to say it, you are entitled to feel satisfied.

Brilliant
This is excellent, truly excellent. For all entrants to my contest, I've tried to give an account of good and bad points. The comment on your poem is severely deficient on the "bad points". This is fab. You have great rhyme, rhythm and flow. The vocab's great, and I love the quote that you chose. This is just an all-round excellent poem.
Thank you for entering my contest.
