What's your favorite poem ?

What do you think of my poem, "Why?"?
Why?
The world ain't colorblind,
Time twists wasted on divine
Lines and bright signs.
The world ain't no harmony
You can't sing on all keys,
Doors are hidden from thee.
The world ain't always true
Falsehoods are heard, too,
As plain gibberish soothes.
That's why the world is blue.
A song you just can't tune.

Can this make mathematical sense?
Ancient poem: He had had descendants, / but one third died in childbirth, / one fourth of disease, / one fifth Resheph [god of plague] gathered to himself, / one sixth were lost at sea, / one seventh fell in battle.

What is your favorite Robert Frost poem?
Favourite answer:"The Last Word of a Bluebird"
When first read as a boy it sounded like a fanciful (comical even) meeting between a man and a talking crow. Read again as a young man it speaks to how children deal with loss and the passing of time. Read in middle age age it is clearly about grieving and the human need to believe in rebirth and renewal.

What is the best poem written in response to big tech censorship?
Silicon Valley be damned!
Down with censorship!
No more accounts banned!
Join the apprenticeship.
Avenge the 70k "QAnons."
Silicon valley will burn.
Purge Twitter Decepticons
For free speech we yearn
Silicon valley is forever rotten
Their existence will be forgotten
Banished from existence for eternity
Only then can America have liberty

Did my Father really write this poem?
A World Of Angry Men
What is this world of man and beast
that cares for each other not in the least
This angry world of war and hate
and an atom death that is our fate
What happened to man with his peace and love
and his awed respect for his God above
That happy world of the days gone bye
where children could play and need not cry
Yes, what happened ti this world of man and beast
that cares for each other not in the least.

is my poem any good?
Favourite answer:The fact that you enjoyed writing it is a good sign. I encourage you to keep following your joy. That said, on with the constructive criticism.
There is an overuse of descriptive words. It becomes more redundant then imaginative. There also doesn't seem to be a clearly defined purpose.
You may know the reason you wrote it and the meaning behind it, but your poem should be able to convey that to your audience. I have no clue what you are talking about and why.
You sacrificed a lot of impact to use those big descriptive words. You missed opportunities to rhyme. The structure seemed to be you just going from one short description to the next, without adding to an overall picture. Meaning it's hard to see how each line connects.
So my advice to you if poetry gives you joy is to work on ways to serve the audiences understanding of what you are expressing, rather than just speaking from your own secluded perspective. Make it relatable. And work on rhyme schemes so that there is more flow to your piece. Make the structure of your poem more progressive, so that each line adds to the last, enhancing the overall meaning and potency of the poem. Also prioritize what you use descriptive words on. Highlight what is important to the meaning, and let what is not assist the flow and structure. Finally, study the art of poetry in depth, and apply what you learn. There are many ways to make your work more creative. Wordplay, metaphors, and various other ways to keep your poem from getting stale or repetitive.
Aside from all that, don't let anyone discourage you from doing what you love, and keep love as your inspiration for all you do, for nothing can be mastered without it. Not yourself, and not your gifts.

What does each stanza mean in nathaniel hawkins' "My low and humble home"? I've been researching and there are no resources for it:(?
Onward I press'd with eager feet,
And War's dread thunder still would greet
My reckless ears. Where'er I trod,
I saw the green and verdant sod,
Turn red with blood of slaughter'd foes,
And Fury veil'd in smoke arose.
I gain'd the envied height; and there,
I sigh'd for that lone cottage, where
The early hours of life flew by,
On wings of youthful ecstasy.
Too late I found that Glory's ray,
Could never bring one happy day.
only these stanzas please THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Comment on my poem?
Maniacal laughter with his face
In the shotgun shells
Always within close reach
Sit up and check her text
10 bucks if you speak
Across the street
They pull up to see
To see the lights go out
Pupils die late and adjust
Pump action cross both shoulders
We strecth in with the beat
As the wind begins to howl

What do you think about the poem "Redemption?"?
Redemption
Apples fall to gravity,
And hit humanity. Which
Came first and fell last?
Seek the reddest apple,
For its labor of beauty.
The One prized Above!
Who can reach the sun,
During the darkest night?
In a time of sticks and stones,
Krishna reveals warnings,
The signs in Kali Yuga.
If your ears hear salvation,
The Golden Age comes
And lights the wretched
State of naked beings.
Bright fire of eternity!
From these flames to ashes,
Another apple tree grows,
For the hungry thinker.
Apples fall to gravity.
The Golden Age comes
And lights the wretched
State of naked beings.
Bright fire of eternity!
