We Could Be Legends

We could take this world by storm
We could heal the hearts that are torn
We could protect others with our lives
Or fight the darkness until light arrives

We could be why somebody else doesn't quit
We could be the ones the world can't forget
We could set this whole country on fire
We could take a risk and live on a high wire

We could be the Phoenix rising from the ashes
We could keep tears from falling from a kid's lashes
We could be why they don't break but they bend
If we just hold on a little longer, We Could be Legends

Comments

The below is a computer generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem "We Could Be Legends" is an uplifting and inspiring piece that encourages the reader to strive for greatness and make a positive impact on the world. The author uses powerful imagery and vivid language to convey the message that we all have the potential to be heroes and change-makers.

One of the strengths of this poem is its clear and concise structure. Each stanza presents a different idea or action that we could take to make a difference, building on the previous one and culminating in the powerful final line, "We Could be Legends." This creates a sense of momentum and urgency that propels the reader forward and inspires them to take action.

The language and imagery in the poem are also very effective in evoking a sense of hope and determination. The line "We could be why somebody else doesn't quit" is particularly powerful, as it speaks to the idea that our actions can have a ripple effect and inspire others to keep going.

One possible line edit to consider is changing "live on a high wire" to "walk a tightrope." While the original line is certainly evocative, "walk a tightrope" is a more common phrase and may be more immediately understandable to readers.

Overall, "We Could Be Legends" is a well-crafted and inspiring poem that encourages readers to believe in their own potential to make a difference. The author's use of imagery and language effectively conveys a sense of hope and urgency, making this a compelling and memorable piece of writing.
