Poetry
A Day In My City.
By ninecats
02 June 2005
This is a poem abou my city, Milano. The city where I was born, the city I love.

Another day in this hectic city.

Where most people have no pity.

But I do love her, my point is strong.

My feeling is no decayed by wrong.

Evil folks do not deserve to live here.

They can't enjoy skittles and beer.

But only the flames of hell.

If they only play the bell !

I did, however want: 
 
a) a bit more and b) more of your love for the city - why? What makes it stand out and what should happen to the people who have no pity? 
 
Nice structure and good use of rhythm! 
 
Just some suggestions.

and welcome to this forum! 
I have to agree with TW that you need to elaborate a bit more on the reasons for your love of your home town. 
I wouldn't worry too much about rhyme patterns, to start with: you have a good, strong RHYTHM to the poem and the rest will feel more natural if you just "let it be" :grin

Thank you TW and Bagheera ! 
 
I stand out for my city because I find that it's too 
much slated. There are people who always complain 
about everything and have no pity for Milano. 
They don't show any generosity, either ! 
 
I'm here to also improve my style and elaboration. 
I'm not a mother-tongue person, though I love 
writing poetry in English. It's a way to complete my 
personality. 
 
So clearly I trust your help in improving my poetry 
skill. And I just " let it be ". I do love the Beatles' 
song and clearly don't be afraid of letting me know 
your " words of wisdom ". Thank you ever so much. 
 
Ciao !
