=Artist Statement:= A poem to me, is more the just a place for words to rhyme. It is a story. A poem to me, rhymes and flows all at the same time. I like to have that flow in the poem so it can keep the reading moving along. When I write poems, I think smooth, flow, and simplicity with a hint of comedy. Of course, not everything is true. I wish for my poems to be only read and not discussed. The poems I write are meant to be straight forward and too the point, not debated on it's meaning. That method might not make the poem last throughout the decades, but I know in my heart that it was read at one point, and brought a smile to someones face.

=Some expert poems that make mine look terrible:=

This poem uses imagery in order to really immerse the reader into each word and stanza. From the very first line, there is this sense of a dark mood. From the first three lines of each stanza, to the last three lines, a story is being unfolded. Using advanced imagery, the scene is created in the reader's mind and truly allows for a unique experience. Each stanza is composed of one sentence with multiple commas that allows for a dramatic reading. It really slows down the reader and lets the reader feel the intensity in each of the various antonyms contained in the stanzas. Antonyms like "Day and Night" and "Rise and Set", set the stage for an action of some kind. Along with the transition from life to death back to life. This raises a lot of questions about what is going on, and keeps a fresh topic for this poem.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> This poem uses imagery in order to give the reader a sense of being in the poem. The poem starts by telling the reader what the subject of the poem does. The subject gets into details on the actions performed from the very first line. This goes from what the subject does, to what others do to the subject. There is one point of the poem where it is showed that the subject is being lifted and traded like a doll. That really throws off the reader and forces the reader to think. The tone of this poem is a bit jumpy and it goes from stanza to stanza. In the first stanza, there is this sense of empowerment. The third stanza shows a sense of weakness. The last stanza shows a sense of curiosity because it has a question in it. The use of imagery that shows where the subject is, and the actions around him never seem to fade. Every stanza comes complete with some sort of image that really helps the reader move along. The enjambments between lines one through four really creates great imagery. The comma after each line create a pause which makes it more dramatic and interesting. It's like soemthing important is happening, with power in after each comma. Also, the commas allow for little details inside the stanza. Things like " bend their legs at the knees, if they come with that feature, and fix them into the tiny wooden chairs." That whole stanza was filled with little details that created a setting for the subject to be in, and allows a space for the action to take place. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">

This poem uses imagery in order to create a sense of longing for something that the subject has never experienced. "I have never been fishing on the Susquehanna or on any river for that matter to be perfectly honest." The first stanza makes there reader think "Why?" Why did the subject of the poem not go finish in any river? That makes the reader want to read on and discover why. The author reveals the personality of the subject slowly as the poem goes on. As the personality is being revealed, a setting is being created. This poem contains thirteen stanza's, with each stanza having three lines. That is a total of thirty-six lines of strategically placed commas that make for an easy reading. Lines like "Sitting in a small, green, flat-bottom boat holding the thing whip of a pole." really brings the reading to life. the tone of the poem is a sense of curiosity because of the subject matter. The subject has never been fishing on a river, so it would mean that (s)he is wondering how it must feel like. Also, the language used in the poem seemed to be hesitant for some reason that cannot be explained. But, a great poem nonetheless and a good reed.======
