My Hero
November 15, 2013
I want to be like you
I want to be something
To be the real thing
To be a towering wave
I’ll have to be brave
I want to save
Those close to their grave
I want to be there hero
But whatever happens I’ll always be below you
But that doesn’t matter cause I love you
My words are true
I’ll give up anything to be like you
If you only knew
How much I truly love you
When things go wrong you save me
You are brave
You are my hero

I think this was a relatable, intertaining topic. I loved the use of the line, "to be a towering wave." It used imagery and it had a sense of figerative language. My biggest critisism is the ryhmying. It made your poem seem more elementary. Internal rhyme and abstract ryhme would have been fine, but when you rhyme almost every line it makes it less serious and more simple. Also, you tended to be really repetitive with the word you. I really enjoyed it though. Keep up the good work!
