Crows and Swallows

Overall the poems are a learning experience. I personally liked 3 of the poems and those really stuck with me. The first one I liked was Too Damn Long. I could connect with it because u have felt that befor I go to bed. I like to think about work I’ve completed and what’s next. It’s a great reflection and a satisfying time. Another one I liked was It Must Be a Fine Line. It made me think of the American dream in that you can do anything and that even though a profession may seem to only work for one type of person, anyone can do it. The final one was Before the Party. This stood out to me this one because it seemed to be a reflection of someone with a good vocabulary. My problem was that it didn’t really go with the title, and I understand the meaning is in the eye of the beholder, but this seemed to drone on. While I thought it was a good poem, it wasn’t my style; however, it still stuck out.
My poem:
Listening to my favorite artist
Lost in the music
Swimming through bars
Diving into albums
So many stories
Feels like a perfect sunrise
Keeps getting better
Positivity in check
Happiness seems in grasp
Even though sadness
Is still around
It’s drowned out
Life stands still
Drifting into paradise
On an inner tube of notes
In a sea of rhythm
Before the waters drained
And life goes back to normal
