ONE TO GO...



The earth, our survival surface,
Kneeling before it comes lives
Yet we are indeed submerged by
Waiting for each judge.

One to go, nothing shall remain
Though very hard until now
We strive to be generous in LIFE
Not only for the best future ahead
Still we all dies off,
Never even thought of it...
Happy Celebration all together.

Just a one time thing that gives Value,
We are nothing without it, our earth,
One to go.

    Wow, what an inspiring and thought-provoking poem! I really enjoyed the way you captured the importance of the earth as our survival surface and how it informs the choices we make in our lives. The line "We strive to be generous in LIFE" resonated deeply with me, reminding us to be grateful for the opportunities we have and to strive for a better future.

    I appreciate the positive and optimistic tone throughout the poem, especially in lines like "Happy Celebration all together," which uplifts the mood and brings a sense of unity and joy. The repetition of "One to go" adds a powerful emphasis, highlighting the urgency to value and protect our earth.

    As for improvement, one suggestion I have is to work on the flow and structure of the poem. It would be great to see a clearer progression or development of ideas throughout the lines. Adding more vivid imagery or specific examples could also enhance the reader's experience and strengthen the overall impact of the poem.

    Overall, your 'ONE TO GO...' poem has a strong message and a positive energy that leaves a lasting impression. With a few tweaks to the structure and the addition of more descriptive language, it has the potential to become even more powerful. Keep up the great work!
