    -On The Ship-




    -On The Ship-
    As I scan the aisles of the deck, the picking overwhelms
    Gathering for the long journey, to as store food in the helms
    The men look dreary; this war has torn us apart
    Looks of help cover the façade of the forlorn broken hearts
    Is it the casualties, or life at sea that is to be the sole blame
    Tires burning on the deck as we taxi for the toll planes
    Commotion about, is it about to break in?
    Soldiers gather themselves as the boys are about to become men
    The speakers flare thru the cabins, the voice echo’s for all
    Grabbing for ammunition as a soldier screams “Let go of it Paul!!!”
    How is this happening, a calm day turning to grim
    Scoping out my comrades as he sees’s me, and me inside him
    But the food! It’s not packed, surely the captain will yell
    Guns being dropped low as if rolling back a sale
    We all run, as the aisles are full of men, the bounty overtakes
    Exceeding our limits but never time to replace the mistakes
    The death and destruction is taking its toll to far
    Electing the asphalt into the sky, as if polling the tar
    The battle is weakening; the goods are almost for plunder
    Time stops as the minds imagination couldn’t wonder
    After all the death turmoil, the aftermath was well the wait
    Death deciding it’s victims as the living conquers their fate
    I think of this life, it’s far too much to go on more
    Snap back to reality as my daydreaming stops in the Grocery Store
    “Aisles really are packed, Must now get back to my captain, Err I mean wife
    Cause after that take on it, I could certainly handle ship life”

    Re: -On The Ship-

    Yeah this was really nice. it was kinda craetive too
    i like how you pu the final touches on the last part of the verse
    the flow was really straight but i thouiht you could've improved a lil bit more.
    the imagery was real good even with the picture in there.
    the emotino came off stroThe battle is weakening; the goods are almost for plunder

    Time stops as the minds imagination couldn’t wonder
    After all the death turmoil, the aftermath was well the wait
    Death deciding it’s victims as the living conquers their fate
    I think of this life, it’s far too much to go on more
    Snap back to reality as my daydreaming stops in the Grocery Store
    “Aisles really are packed, Must now get back to my captain, Err I mean wife
    Cause after that take on it, I could certainly handle ship life”ng and didnt have much flaws
    I liked how you portrayed it as a story tellin type of thing
    so overlal this was a good peice keep writing.

    Re: -On The Ship-

    Clever verse.. the rhyme scheme was basic but content was therer. i liked the return to reality...that worked well. i think you need to work on how you apply words for exapl, I didnt find this to work

    The speakers flare thru the cabins, the voice echo’s for all
    Grabbing for ammunition as a soldier screams “Let go of it Paul!!!
    maybe you could word it so the reader could assume its a quote... like grabbing for ammo but the crew objects just let go of it ya'll

    or something along those lines. Good work

    Overall, this can do with more internal rhyming, it seemed very regimented at first and didn't really pick up much on the flow aspect, you can work on that and once you get the flow right it'll make reading your pieces much more engaging and entertaining. Furthermore, i quite enjoyed reading the ending, the whole daydream type twist you added was pretty good though a little abrupt if i may say so. Overall, i found this piece average though a good effort from you. Stay up^ and keep writing.

    when you can, some comments will be appreciated:

    I'd have to agree with everyone else as far as the flow..is concerned..I mean you had a very creative approach..and good content..but the simple rhyme scheme or lack of internals..mad the read kinda mehish..but..you work'd all the other mechanics well..I just think you need a more polished flow..but all in all good drop kid...keep writing..

    RTF pls...
