in my language arts class we were all assigned a different type of poetry. I got didiatic (cant even pronounce it) poetry. That's poetry that teaches something, like a how-to poem. mine sucks, can you please give suggestions to make it better or a different topic i could do? (its about how to climb a tree. :[ )

First, find a suitable tree,
Whose branches are all within reach.
Get footing on the trunk,
Grab a limb and pull yourself up.
Climb as high as you are able,
Checking that every branch is stable.
Choose one too thin and it'll be too late.
Anything twig-like will snap under your weight.
Once you've reached your maximum height,
Slowly and carefully, begin to decline.
Eventually, your destination will be mt,
Then you can leave, feeling confident.

Please help! I do not want to read that in front of my class!!


BONUS:
we're also writing acrostic poems. Does mine make sense to you?
S ilence screams
I rrevocable, yet
L ouder than anything
E nhances a single heartbeat
N oises absent on
T he surface

each letter does HAVE to be more than one word too.
 
Okay for your climbing tree poem try adding a little emotion to it as well maybe?

You find a tree of color to trespass upon (I wouldn't start with first)
Whose branches are all within reach.
Get footing on the trunk,
Grab a limb, push up with all your might I beseech.
Climb as high as you are able,
Checking that every branch is stable.
Choose one too thin and it'll be too late.
Anything twig-like will snap under your weight.
Once you've reached your maximum height,
Slowly and carefully, begin to decline.
Eventually, your destination has now been spent,
Then you can leave, feeling confident.

(I think you had an overall good idea for your poem and you did a great job. There are a few corrections that I think might make it better, take it or leave it I'm just trying to help.) :)

As for you acrostic poem I think that it is awesome and voicing so keep it the way it is. Good job. :)
 
Well, I like your poem but I would say add more rythm into it. For example, line two -
'Whose branches are all within reach.'
I would say change it to:
'Where all the branches are within reach'
so it flows with line one better:

'First, find a suitable tree
Where all the branches are within reach'

for your acrostic poem - it's beautiful. I love the Silence Screams part.....good job on that!

Hope I helped ;)
