Poem for English class

[Xylitol]

We're studying poems in the Romantic era, so we had to make a poem that related with Romanticism (Wanting to go back to the natural world w/o the modern world w/ the Industrial Revolution)

The world around us
Have we forgotten it?
Smell the earth and the air
Have we missed it?

It?s the land that we sought
Those many years ago
Yet-
The land that we fought for
That we died for
Is in our minds-
No more

cliche, way too modern if you're going for a romantic-era feel... I'd say it's passable though not especially note-worthy.

I'd tighten it up by removing all the personal pronouns, but that's just my style

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I hate technology,
Because it makes my job useless.

pretentious

 

[Goosemaster]

The darkened skies that are forefathers died for
The rivers and lakes running with mechanical blood
Such things litter the landscape that once was pure.

There was a time when roses were red, and violets were blue
when the sky gleamed from the sun, so bright that it every man cowered wherever they stood
Alas, up at the sky we now gaze on grays, and see only dark red, whites, and blues

The rumble of the mechanized fury of our industrial might shakes the very ground that once seemed immobile
There was once a time of stillness, of silence, but such Edens are but a memory.

Ah, but to hear the sound of silence, to gaze at the burning Sun in all her glory.
To smell the true odor of roses.
To see the pretentious majesty that god has given to his world in LIVING COLOR!
