Your place.
One colour, lacking grace.
Your dark sky's, match your lands.
As black as the coal, on your workers hands.
Your place offers power, but for that of a cost.
As for the advantage of power, the environment is lost.
Your place is a titan, of steel and fuel.
Standing proud like a god, but deserving and cruel.
Your potential is high, and your aim is for the best.
But to just continue running, is your ultimate test.
For while you do good, you also do bad.
With power comes trouble, both which you had.
Closing the doors of the tyrannical Lord.
The industrial estate still stands proud and broad.
It's time.
It's time is cold, and you divert on work.
For jack frost watches over, for the time span, he lurks.
A cold blanket unfolds, Like a frozen sheet.
Covering your land, from head, to feet.
Yet among the frozen world you still stay aflame.
Powering the people, working all the same.
Blood, sweat, and tears, so you can warm the cold.
Of this winter wonderland, so mysterious and bold.
Author notes
This is a poem i had to do for college, i put quite a bit of thought into it instead of just throwing something from my mind. The best thing about it is all of our classes poems have been sent to be published and from what i saw no one put heart into there poems, so maybe i have a chance at getting published? i'm rather exited ^^;
It's a poem i did for college, you think it's good?

these lines were fantastic, the rhyming through the whole poem was consistant and smoothly done, it flowed well and the content was described perfectly, good luck if you get the chance getting it published, i havent read any other poems your class has written of course but this one really sets a high standard id be very surprised if anyone in your class has written something to surpass it based on what you said about putting their hearts into it.
A truly great write, thank you very much for sending me the link.
