Majestic Mountains

My favoritest place to be
Is up in the mountains
So high,you see
If you look closely
Between the two peaks
You'll find the sunset
And me
Climbing so victorous
Ranging so far
Cause I am what
I see
And that is a
Majestic mountain
Looking back at me

According to a literature/writing major, I'd give it a 1 or a 2. Rhyming is not one of the elements you want to base your poetry on. Nor is including the title into the poem. Favoritest is not a word. Nor is victorous. Avoid cliches such as "climbing up so victorious". That doesn't really tell us anything. Nor does "ranging so far". All it does is fill space. You want to be more specific about YOUR specific event. About what it was like when YOU went into the Majestic Mountains. Your only telling us about a general experience about being in SOME majestic mountains. They could be any majestic mountains. You don't really take us with you on your trip with you. You talk to us, you don't take us with you and that's the difference between really good poets and not so good poets.

So, if you don't want to go to Poetry.com, don't take us to some generic place. Take us somewhere special. Take us somewhere we'll never forget, that we can relate to. I think that's what you are trying to achieve. Tell us what you saw between two peaks, what the sunset looked like, why was the climb victorious? How far did it range? Don't be so general. Answer all those questions in your poem and then, you'll have something.

I give you a 9 for sincerity and about a 7 for accomplishment. I think you are young and have got the feel for expressing things in poetry but don't yet have a lot of experience doing it. I like the way you relate the mountains to yourself and see their heights as being something victorious for yourself. If you are a Texan, then you may be talking about the mountains in New Mexico. Think about 'favoritest'. Only change it if after thinking about it you want to change it. Also, consider adding ly to victorious, both for the rhyme and to make it an adverb (after the word 'so'). Sincerity is the most important thing in poetry. Without it, nothing works. With it, everything is possible - with work.

id give it a 2 or 3... anyone can rhyme and put in simple phrases.. why not add some more detail..

The majestic mountains
piercing the sky
if you climb up high
you'll see the clouds fall like fountains..
golden rays
a gentle breeze
a pointed face
staring back at me

its not the best by far.. but i think its a 5 at least

I'd give it a 7 - but what I like (and was this intentional?) is how the poem looks like mountains (sideways). Nice job!

Not bad. I'd give it a 7, because I love mountains.

Up in the mountains
I want to be.
So far away, I can see.
It is here that I feel tall
Looking over the peaks
As far as my eyes can seek.
It is here that I feel small
Make me realise
In life, there is more.
;-)
