Nothing is more special than siting down and watching a movie about two Irish guys in Boston,
It brings me closer to my culture of red heads and potatoes,
If I need my car fixed Ill head over to Reilly's and stop by the muffin shop on the way back,
when I hang out with my friends we stop by T-Bell on our to EP,
And catch a movie at the cave,
When I go skiing whenever we see a kid go to slow off a jump then they become a knuckler,
I've never had a tweet and don't plan on it,
its too popular like mickyD's or BK,
or red heads and fugs,
Life isn't as simple as the drop down menu,
It takes hard work and passion,
It is more than just a daily trip to B-dubs.

Explanation: I believe that my poem has a jazz/blues feel to it because at least when I read through it its kinda slow, but at times it amps up and the beat is always changing like in a jazz or blues song. I think in my culture or at least my era the people that are a part of it are completely controlled with technology and in my poem I talk about the ways how I am really not like that and I am countering my current culture. I wrote this poem the way I did because it describes a simple boring life like a lot of blues songs back in the day. I wrote this poem the way I did to symbolize old time blues or jazz songs.
I like this poem a lot because it sets a tone and has rhythm to it. I like all the references and the imagery that goes on in the poem.
ReplyDeleteI can see how your poem symbolizes old time blues or jazz songs. You have good references too. Good job on the poem!
