is this a certain type of poem? or a poem at all?

Question

i just wrote this one day, when i was feeling very good, and umm i wasn't meaning for it to be a poem, but then one of my friend said it sounded like one... idk

MY SUPERMAN

You are the light in my dark tunnel that keeps me focused on my true destination.
It is you who holds my hand when i feel alone, even though we cannot touch.
You wipe my tears with the words you say.
Your warmth surrounds me and fills my heart with elation.
You put a smile on my face, while my world is falling apart.
Without effort, you lift burdens off of me and light the way for me to see.
The path you take me on is one out of darkness into the light of love. Your manner shields me from everything evil in this world.
You are my superman, my hero, my man of steel.
Your strength leaves me weak in the knees.
so i am asking you please,
to find a way to lead me to your heart.
show me the way so i do not stumble upon my own fears and hesitation.
You alone hold so much power in your hands,
it makes me tremble with the anxiety of failing you.
I want to be your kryptonite.
i desire to be all that makes you weak in the knees,
at the same time being what makes you stand proud and tall,
ready to take on the world should anything threaten to tear down what we have built piece by piece, laugh by laugh, tear by tear.
You have so easily soothed an aching heart,
and gave so much so willingly,
it has been an honor for me to have even held one minute of your attention.
Not to mention the hours of time spent in idleness with me,
just keeping me company when so many miles separate us.
Your time is worth the world to me and i appreciate everything about you,
and adore who you are to me. My Superman

Answer 1

Awe, that's super sweet. Sounds like you are a sweet person. I'll bet this is about someone special in your life at one time. You hold tight gurl...any man, would be honored to be your superman.

Answer 2

i like your poem ... How about this poem ???





Seems like every time I’m around town



Some crazy cat with machinations



Gets some snit in his git head and decides



That it’s time to **** with me.







I do what I can. I’m a good man.



I write what I have to when all is well.



I do my best to save this world I’ve adopted.



It’s all I have, and I don’t have much.







Sometimes I wonder why I do what I do.



I mean, my girl wants more than I can offer.



The world needs more than I can offer.



Idealism and hope. That’s all I have.







I am a symbol of freedom and purity



To those of us who do not realize



That often I work in the rain. And wade in ****.



And sometimes, fighting to exhaustion, I die.







Over the city I can see you failing, failing,



Failing to contribute or even acknowledge this.



And for what? For what? For WHAT I say?



While ducking into clouds to avoid myself.







You selfish, selfish fools. One day, even I



Will crack, given enough time and pressure.



A man is not made from idealism and hope.



It’s all I have, and I don’t have much.

Answer 3

Yes, you have a poem, in my book. It is called Free-form poetry.

For a free-form poem to work, you do need to instill a kind of rhythm to the sentences, and have a suggestion of rhyme (as you do when you write

Your manner SHIELDS ME from everything EVIL in this world

You are my superman, my HERO, my man of STEEL

Your strength leaves me WEAK in the KNEES

So I am asking you PLEASE....these create a kind of echoing rhyme.. in the 'ee' sounds

So, this is good...but, with a bit of editing could be great.

Well done.

Answer 4

I think this is actually an Ode as supposed to a poem as it is a specific description of a specific person...

The Iambic pentameter doesn't scan on it either...Still a nice sentiment though...

Answer 5

Yes it is a poem, but not one I'd ever submit for publication. The clichés among the metaphors and similes you use are a bit hard on the average stomach, but your Superman will probably feast on them.

Answer 6

Yeah I'm pretty sure its a poem and a really good one at that! It sounds awesome!

Answer 7

i'd say it's a free verse poem because it doesn't rhyme, but it's still very poetic. ;)
