    Poem Commentary

    This is the first poem I wrote in my writing workshop took over the summer.  I hated this when I first wrote it.  It felt so forced to me, but apparently the teachers for the class liked it so I ended up using it for the slam.

    Sadness

     Today I feel like a balloon with a pin prick
    Instead of exploding I've merely deflated
    All ambition comes to a stop
    As the wind has escaped from my sails

    I feel quite like the dead today
    With no reason to carry on
    And nothing to do but lie in the earth
    While the living drain my old life away

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
