so this is one of the poems I wrote, doesn't have a name but If you think you have one... I just couldn't name it.
here it is
feel free to write what you think

______________________________

Leave and come back,
Be lost and then be found,
You shall die to be reborn,
One must be silent to hear a sound.

Will you come with me if I choose to go?
This land is not for us.
Since kids- I recall
-Always greener was the other grass.

My spirit! My soul!
-It rises to places my body can’t.
My mind is figuring a way out
-Follow the path, follow the scent!

And so I’ll go.
I’ll scream and I’ll run!
My soul will never wear off
Forever, I shall follow the sun!

I like it. No suggestions for a title or anything else.

Can't say that I'm a huge fan. If nothing else, please at least change this:

'Since kids- I recall
-Always greener was the other grass.'

I don't think a poem can ever work if it's relying on even one restructured cliche. The idea behind this is nice, but some of the phrasing definitely needs to be reworked.

Amongst other things there is a massive disunity of tone in the poem, read the first and third stanzas, the "voice" of the poem doesn't match, it's not consistent at all.

I like the images you present. I think the 'grass is always greener' does need a little re-working.

And so I salute you,
For the things you have taught me so well
Such as turning water into wine,
And laughing in the face of the devil himself.
