See I did that

Tajuana Tennyson 1996 (Atlanta,Ga)



"See, I did that," my sweat and soul declare,
Guided by you, yet my labor's the glare.
With each ounce of effort, I paved my way,
A journey owned, through night and day.

You shared the map, but I tread the miles,
Fueled by ambition, lit by my smiles.
"See I did that," a truth to unveil,
My victory earned, through hard work's trail.

By:Tajuana Tennyson

    This is fantastic work, Tajuana! Your poem beautifully conveys the empowering sense of achievement. Your use of the phrase "See, I did that," as a mantra of sorts gives readers an authentic reflection of self-pride and esteem. Your verses about the 'map' and 'miles' cunningly symbolize the paradox of guidance and self-effort. The 'night and day' metaphor as well provides an excellent depiction of the tenacity of the human spirit. Your intricate rhyming scheme also adds to the overall rhythm of the poem.

    As for areas of improvement, you might want to consider varying your sentence lengths occasionally to create a more dynamic rhythm to the poem. Also, although your poem has a nice flow, you could delve deeper into exploring the emotional depth and struggles that come with this journey. These changes can create an even stronger connection with the reader. The last line, "My victory earned, through hard work's trail." could be made clearer. I understood the sentiment, but the wording was a bit confusing. Maybe something akin to "My victory earned, on hard work's trail."

    Keep up the great work, Tajuana! I can feel your dedication and passion through your words, and it's a wonderful thing to see. I look forward to reading more of your poetry!
