Seeing the world as a
sand box,
will always be a
Million
times better than seeing it as a
filing cabinet.

Using finger paints to
express feelings,
will always be a
Million
times better than using
The Finger.

Thanks :) Yea, that does make sense. I did have another stanza in there but my teacher didn't like it so I took it out...

Life is a maybe. Death is for sure. Sin is the cause. Christ is the cure. :)

Love is the breath of God, and prayer is the melody that makes it sing.

If you cant annoy someone, there's no point in writing.

Love is overrated, marry for money.

I like the idea of the poem, but I do have a couple things to say. One, I think it might flow a bit better if you wrote it like this; 

 

Seeing the world 

As a sand box, 

Will always be 

A million times better 

Than seeing it as 

A filing cabinet. 

 

Get what I mean? Another thing would be that I think the poem could be longer. But it's really good! I love the last stanza! haha great job!
