Margot...THNX 4 UR COMMENTS..SUM MORE WRITE UPS..?
The first rays of the Sun touched the deep blue sea,
The dewy leaves woke up from their slumber,
The cock shouted cock-a-doodle-doo,
It is a new a beginning,
The first rays of the Sun touched the battlefield,
The swords lay shining on the ground,
The soldiers’ armours glistened,
The earth was covered in blood,
The soil soaked up the blood,
It is a new beginning.
The first rays of the sun touched an urchin on the street,
He was smiling in his sleep,
His face shone with brilliance of the shining ray,
A drop of dew fell on his dry hands,
It is a new beginning.
The first rays of the sun touched a race horse,
He was munching away to glory,
His white body shined like a star,
He broke free from the tethered rope,
It is a new beginning.
The first rays of the sun touched a million hearts,
They all woke up from their slumber,
The blindfold of hatred was replaced by shining eyes of happiness,
The people of the world came together and joined hands in unity,
It is a new beginning.
The first rays of the sun touched Mother Earth,
Darkness faded,
Dawn took over,
The streetlights went out,
The meadow and the brook built their friendship again,
The huge mountains stood over all,
But didn’t block the rays of the Sun from shining bright in the sky,
The clouds parted,
The sun shined bright in the sky,
It is a new beginning…….
Answer :
The concept is lovely. The repetition works. You use lots of examples to build to your point. The optimism, while some may think Pollyanna-ish, is almost infectious for those of us who tend in that direction. What you need to work on is "showing" not "telling." You are using cliches instead of painting pictures with unique combinations of words to draw for the reader what you mean to say. Even the phrase "new beginning" is a cliche. I am not saying cliches can never be used but I really think you need to enrich this poem with something of your own besides the concept. I had to laugh when I saw the asterisks. Is YA gone facist? I think a good cock-a-doodle-doo is good for everyone!
P.S. I don't cruise YA much these days anymore at all. I post my poems and do my critiques at The Critical Poet website.(criticalpoet.com)

William Carlos Williams poem! HELP?!?!?!?!?
The Yachts
contend in a sea which te land partly encloses
shielding them from the too-heavy blows
of an ungoverned ocean which when it chooses
tortures the biggest hulls, the best man knows
to pit against its beatings, and sinks them pitilessly.
Mothlike in mists, scintillant in the minute
brilliance of cloudless days, with broad bellying sails
they glide to the wind tossing green water
from their sharp prows while over them the crew crawls
ant-like, solicitously grooming them, releasing,
making fast as they turn, lean far over and having
caught the wind again, side by side, head for the mark.
In a well guarded arena of open water surrounded by
lesser and greater crafts which, sycophant, lumbering
and flittering follow them, they appear youthful, rare
as the light of a happy eye, live with the grace
of all that in the mind is fleckless, free and
naturally to be desired. Now the sea whoch holds them
is moody, lapping their glossy sides, as of feeling
for some slightest flaw but fails completely.
Today no race. Then the wind comes again. The yachts
move, jockeying for a start, the signal is set and they
are off. Now the waves strike at them but they are too
well made, the slip through, though they take in canvas.
Arms with hands grasping seek to clutch at the prows
Bodies thrown recklessly in the way are cut aside.
It is a sea of faces about them in agony, in despair
until the horror of the race dawns staggering the mind;
the whole sea become an entanglement of watery bodies
lost to the world bearing what they can not hold. Broken,
beaten, desolate, reaching from the dead to be taken up
they cry out, failing, failing! their cries rising
in waves skill as the skillful yachts pass over.
