h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have decided to start posting stories. Here in my Journal.
There's really no reason why I can't is there? Sometimes they'll be stories, sometimes poems, and you might find the occasional fanfic. Anyway... I can't let this space go to waste. So anyway, tell me what you think of my writing. What can I fix? What is good? What is bad? Did you like it? Yes? No? Why? Please help a stuggling author-to-be.

Hm... this is a rather old poem, but since my brother erased our hard drive recently and I can't access my profile at fafic (where I store some of my poetry), this is what you get. Just know, that I *have* improved, but it might be a good contrasting poem, I guess.

Dreams

I was young and restless
Longing for a fairy tale
Planting seeds of my dreams
But to no avail.

While others worked at their crop
I played in the sun’s world
I’m there still.
Trying to stay a child.

We have but one chance at life
I wasted mine away
I could have reaped realities
Instead I decided to play.

Watch out and take care
Tend carefully to your dreams
And if you work hard
Your seedlings will bear realities.
