    Well, I just did a poem for a report, and I'm just posting this up for a critique

    “It Matters”
    (A Hero’s Traits)
    By Kamage

    The past has
    what the present will never surrender.

    What matters if the sun has always risen?
    What matters is:
    The sun rises

    What matters if man has been glorious?
    What matters is:
    There is still Glory

    What matters if the world has been conquered?
    What matters is:
    The Heavens are still beyond our reach

    No matter what:
    give us not our salvation;
    give us nothing.

    We who will conquer the sun
    resent all charity.

    We proclaim our right to glory.
    We demand the right to create empires

    What matters is:
    What matters to man.

    And a man matters
    What a Man matters.

    And Man decides:
    what matters.












    Oh wait, I forgot a little something:
    Head Count!
    Use Your Head!
    All Hands on Deck!
    Take the Wheel!
    Pass me a Coke!

    What matters is:
    I followed the Directions.

    That last part is part of the poem right? If so it doesn't sync well with the whole theme...
    And also I didn't really get into the first line
    But that's just me. Good work.

    I just wanted the directions to ahve as little part of it as possible, we had to include five synechdoches, and of course I just put it at the end, and made a smart comment to my teacher

    "What Matters is:
    I followed the Directions"

    only because I didn't actually include the Synechdoches in the real poem
