    Art Of War.


    Men get ready today is the day
    This is why you all have stayed
    No pay, as they line up one by one
    Its 6 am just seen the rise of the sun
    No one ever said that war was fun
    Once you get drafted no where to run
    They get in there places
    Not many happy faces
    As they prepare for what’s in store
    Men get on the field and get ready for war
    I don’t want to do this again
    As one man said…all our of life’s could go to end
    But we have no friends…just hatred here
    No matter what we are fighting for show no fear
    That is why we here and after it’s all said and done
    Our family and country will admire what we won
    A story to tell to your son...good luck on the field
    You don’t get a shield…and not even a meal
    Until it’s over with…there will be scares bruises
    Lots of memories and what ever faith chooses
    We will lose men…it’s just a fact
    But once this war is done…we will never go back
    Remember you’ll see lots of blood and gore
    But that my men, that’s just the thing, called art of war.

    yeah title is bit bleh. i mean its cooked n ish.....

    more of a poem drop no doubt......... so the form was smooth and gave an artistic touch..... the rhymes diddnt strike me as nothing too great. gun rhymes with sun and fun and bun etc etc. so theres room to elevate on the rhyme section indeed somewhat helped by expanding the vocabulary to a more artistic height ...........
    hm neede a lil more spice and imagey to it. a bit more of a picture painted within the words......... and maybe more viewpoints

    pz1

    Yeh i liked this lil piece...It was a lil short but catchy...it wasnt really an OM but something you'd drop in PS....however, Your rhymescheme was aiight and i thought it flowed nicely this allowed it to read easily...Your imagery was aiight when you had it....and your precision was good also....Think you could have added more to it but this was a good piece overall. Stay up.

    This was pretty decent, I enjoy the way you write because you use so many simple terms which I think are more effective at telling a story than a lot of the unneccesarily jargoned terminology a lot of the more poetic writers on this site use. You stayed on topic and kept it simple and it came out pretty nice. I guess the topic wasn't really very meaningful, and the flow could definitely use some work, there were a lot of choppy parts through this, but despite that I enjoyed it.

    I just think it needs more work so far as the flow of your words go together, the beginning you were very effective at this.

    Just read those two out loud, slowly and not to any predetermined beat you've established for this, and I just want you to notice how much better the syllable counts and word choices sync up together in the first four lines compared to the next six. Hope I've helped in some small way.

    Stay up,

    i dont know man, I read it and theres really not much to say, it was your typical rhyme piece, cept it wasnt as good as the ones Im used to seeing, I mean, the flow was toooo short, very little sylables in each lines, for me to feel this it'd have to be for a audio or something and I'd have to hear you spit it, cause on paper this really doesnt look like much, sorry man. but yea, keep dropping, i've seen better from you in the past, seems like you may have been going for something different here.

    I like this. It said a lot, but it was simple, not overly complex for the situation. When you're taking the character of something, like you appeared to be doing, it's important to have an authentic voice, and this definitely worked. I like it.

    (I'm new here, as you can probably see, first post.)
