I had to write a poem for English class, so i thought I would share it with you guys.

The sky is like a vast work on canvas
Of ever-changing art
Splatters of color upon color upon color
Painted for all to see
By the hands of the everlasting universe
Every possible hue
Used expertly to create a masterpiece
Darkness and light
Combined to create ever-changing art
Sun and moon
Both have their time on display
But with
A loud crack of thunder and lightning
An eclipse
Or even a solitarily suspended cloud
The sky is
A vast work of ever-changing art


Tell me what you think. Just don't be too brutal.  :'(

I'm sure if you really applied yourself you could have expanded on this with more metaphor and double-meanings, but on the whole I think this poem has great contrast with the structure of long and short lines.  The stanza itself is pleasing to the eye.
"I lovat a gabber.  I could listen to maure and moravar again.  Regn onder river.  Flies do your float.  Thick is the life for mere." - James Joyce (Finnegans Wake, page 213)

Thanks  :)

I had to write the whole thing last night, so I tried not to think about it too much and when I had all the requirements I just put an ending on it.
