Write a poem about someone you think should get recognition, but hasn't?

Answer 1

Hey fureverwi...,

He worked hard all his life,
never asking for more,
he and his hard working wife,
they opened lifes door,
for 5 daughters to grow,
taught them wrong from right,
and that was his light.

Needs work.

Answer 2

You sparkle like a diamond
You shine brighter than the sun
Your name should be shouted from the rooftops
Not just by me, but by everyone.

Or you could take a funny approach:

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
You Should be Famous by now
What Gives, Why aren't You?

Answer 3

What Shame

All she ate today was a little bit of Jell-o
Just to look right for that one special fellow
You can see she’s happy, you know it for sure
She likes that her outfit is so couture
Yet she doesn’t realize just one thing:
She experiences jealousy, just a slight ping
She says to herself
“God…I’m so fat”
“I really hate my hair…I must wear this hat”
She’s beautiful on the inside, it really is true
She’s extremely pretty, she should have her own style crew
Yet she starves herself in this unholy way
Just so she can tell herself “You look pretty today”
She’s so slim…it really is a shame
And pressure to be thin—it takes the blame
She sees all the movie stars on the T.V.
And she just plain glows with envy
“Why is she like that? Why can’t I be like that?”
“Why am I just so God-dang fat?”
She doesn’t believe she has an eating disorder
When she sees the pretty actors on Law and Order
She thinks “Oh…God…change the channel”
But then it flips to an all-girl panel
“I hate myself…no dinner for me”
But why….why can’t she just see?
She’s not fat…she’s underweight, to say the truth
You’ll never see a morsel of food pass that tooth



Thanks.
