The Victor Poet: C.W. Longenecker
If you think you are beaten, you are.If you think you dare not, you don’tIf you like to win but think you can’t,It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost.For out in the world we findSuccess begins with a fellow’s willIt’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are.You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself beforeYou can ever win the prize.
Life’s battles don’t always goTo the stronger or faster man.But sooner or later, the man who winsIs the man who thinks he can.
I really like this poem because it reminds me that before anything I do, I have to have my mind free and have a clear head, not think about the what if’s, or the maybe and just go do it.
Would you, like to, be the one who sees me lose this all,Would you, like to, be the one who sees me fall.
[Chorus]Nobody?s gonna stand in my wayGive it up son, I?m doin? this my wayNobody?s gonna stand in my wayGive it up son, I?m doin? this my way
You like to think the worst is over now, but you cant breathe at all You like to think you?re owed a favor now, man you?ve seen it all
Did you, want to, be the one who pushed me off the wall,Did you, want to, be the one who let me fall.
[Chorus]
You can?t hold me down..You can?t hold me down..You can?t hold me down..You can?t hold me down..
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Nobody?s gonna stand in my wayGive it up, I?m doin? this my wayNobody?s gonna stand in my wayGive it up, I?m doin? this my wayOut of my way
This song is poetry to me because it rhymes in every verse “Did you, want to, be the one who pushed me off the wall, Did you, want to, be the one who let me fall.” The poetic device used in the beginning is AABB then it goes to AAAA later in the song.

Rhyming poemsIBy Tyler Urban
I have gone places I should not gone. I have done things I should not done. I have been a bad modelFor my toddle.I have seen through hell,But still I come back.
I’ve failed plenty thingsbut still I have my wings.I’ve been down beforebut still I will outscore.
Stupid Swimming By Tyler Urban
Swimming is dumbit is not a lot of funI’d rather be on a long run
You can swim at nightbut don’t get in a fightyou might need some light.
You swim by yourselfyou can pride oneselfon just being by myself
When you want to quithave another go at it. Just breath for a bit.
SonnetLove has passed.By Tyler Urban
You fell into the rainbow of my heartMixing colors lightly tugged and staredNever knowing where it might re-startLeaving mistrust without a slight careNever paying attention to their leadKnowing now, I need to get my mind straitTrue love is never close yet I feel freedRealising that I know this much too lateWritten into mystery was our fateSoft words of molten wax did leave their traceSeemingly I know it makes no debateSeductive, reckoning sweet embraceYou drowned me when you knew no differenceThe nails around my heart knew no defense.
Free VerseSadnessTyler urban
One day alone on the roadI drive to the end of the worldJust to see myself by myselfThe sadness deepens with every passing minuteKnowing that the lonliness never endsThe gas always flows but alone I still amI drive for youYou do not notice meI could be yoursBut if I was itWould you notice me?Alone I amAlone you areCry, cry, Teardrop through each minute were Not.
Motivation.Tyler Urban
More time I think IOpen my eyes to the possibilitiesTo seeing the futureIf only it was nowViolate the laws of natureAlways the same never differentTo break the lawsIf only it was that easyOpenly I think about the opportunityNow I must perform to do my best
All of my poems had poetry in them even though some were sad and some were happy they all used poetry. In one of my free verse poems I used a form of acrostic which is when you spell a word down the front of each line then start a line for each letter. And in my sonnet I used ABABCDCDEFEFGG.
