We have to write a poem, but I am not great at writing, so how does this sound?


Love

It can be perfect,
it can be cruel,
but can be broken by a fool.
How can something so craveable,
be breakable?
One word misheard,
one look is all it took,
to make the love disappear.
Love,
you thief,
you criminal,
you crook!
Why must you be so overlooked?
One glance and you are there,
you can pop up anywhere.
Everyone seems to want love,
but not me, so leave me be!

I still like it. I'd make "Love, you thief...crook" all one line. Your rhyme scheme works with "crook" and "overlooked". It's really quite good. I hope your teacher agrees. :) I can't know his/her expectations.

Writing poetry can be a great way to express oneself and explore different emotions. It's important to remember that poetry doesn't have to be perfect or follow any specific rules. It is a form of self-expression, so your poem is valid regardless of your writing skills.

If you're looking for feedback or suggestions on your poem, here are a few observations:

The overall theme of love being both perfect and cruel is a common concept explored in poetry. Your use of contrasting adjectives conveys this idea effectively.

To enhance the poem, consider adding more specific imagery or examples to support your statements. This can help create a vivid picture in the reader's mind and make the poem more engaging.

Additionally, you can experiment with different poetic devices such as metaphors, similes, or personification to add depth and complexity to your poem.

Remember, writing is a creative process, and there is no right or wrong way to write a poem. The most important thing is to express yourself authentically and enjoy the experience.
