Welcome to the Jungle

Welcome to the Jungle

A Poem by kianatahleigh

Come on down to the jungle.
The jungle where we play.
All types of animals are here 
with many sights on display.
It does not matter your preference
or even why you wish to see.
All that matters is that you know
in the jungle;
all are
FREE.
SHACKLED
is where
people can drive,
live their big ole city lives; 
full of fake ole city vibes;
pretending to be a jungle animal,
trying to deceive who?
Nobody with open eyes like me and you-
At least we jungle people
can think
on our 
own.

To be honest, I quite enjoyed this poem. It had a good vibe and a relatively good flow, and it really had a pull that draws readers in. The first part of the piece is pretty much brilliant!! The musicality is iffy with a couple of lines, but the first part is fantastic. The second part starts off well, but kind of loses momentum and it felt like you got bored and tried to find a way to end it quickly. No, no, no. Let poetry end naturally. it's much more rewarding. You have a bunch of juicy lines in the second part, but they all seem clumped together without much justification from the transitions. It just felt sloppy. Starting from the line "Small towns people....." (which actually should be "small town"....that phrase isn't pluralized). Extend and expand those ideas, and experiment with them until you feel that poem ends naturally. This is otherwise brilliant! Well done!
