Is it serene,
Like a monk?
Would it float in mid-air,
As it meditates,
While the slow breeze,
Gently rustles
The leaves
Around it?
As time passes,
Day after day,
Year after year,
Nature begins to change:
The clouds gather
In the sky
And slowly begin
To pour rain.
The waves splash
Against the rocks
Leading up
To the tallest mountains.
However, it remains
In eternal peace.
Even as the chaos arises,
That does not bother it.
Will anything ever bother it?
No, no,
Nothing can.
It will forever remain,
Still and silent.
And when the sun touches its heart
With its bright golden finger,
It vanishes.
I dunno if it's the poem or just my Chromebook but there's different font colours I found it really interesting how they kind of fade out and back in and it looks really cool
ReplyDeleteMy favorite aspect of the poem was how you changed the formatting of the poem to emphasize certain parts. There are a lot of stanza and line breaks, which makes the poem interesting. I also liked how you made the text gradated, which added a sort of rhythm and atmosphere to your poem in a way that stanzas and lines cannot.
ReplyDelete2. "And when the sun touches its heart
With its bright golden finger,
It vanishes." (not a line but its a sentence)
3. I like that you started the poem with a rhetorical question, which is similar to my poem.
The formatting of the poem is really striking and makes it super interesting to read. I also really like the rhetorical questions scattered throughout the poem that are quickly answered, almost adding to the mystique of the island.
