Rolling depth

Rolling depth

A Poem by Christopher Holley
"

about strugling to survive with everyone being the enemy

"

The trees fall as man destroys.

Killing life with there little toys.

Destroying creation to make it new.

Running through the woods hiding from it all

I sit there watching it fall.

All eyes turn blind on me as I hide

Waiting for them to come.

The woods are my temple

I wont let them fall to the corruption that doomed them all.

I shall not let fate decide I shall sit and hide.

My day will come

when it does there will be nowhere left to run

Overall it is a fairly good piece, I can feel where you're coming from (I love the woods and my stories tend to happen in forests or during storms.) I would say, good job, keep writing!

But there are a few things I might point out. My reviews always come with a double edged sword, and I always point out how it can be better. Don't worry, it is part of the trade:

You used the word destroy twice in close proximity to each other, in poetry it is often a no-no. I'd suggest finding a new word that fits into either spot.

Also, I might change the wording of some of the lines, such as the 5th I would add the word "and" so it would read "I sit there and watch it fall." just because the line before it was so long that it makes this one feel short.

Also you seemed to have a rhyming scheme at the beginning, but it disappeared as the poem went on. I suggest finding a rhyming scheme and sticking to it, or not having one at all.
