Poetry Exercises for Daily Practice

Cubby,
I absolutely love this last stanza. I am at a close tie between 1 and 2-I like the shorter lines. It give a vertical illusion like a string from kite to flyer. Wow, I just really like those last few lines.

But mostly
what I need
is just to see
a lonely kite
demanding
to be free.

Great job on both poems. You certainly rose to the challenge. I know it's hard because, as I think about it, there are very few differences between irony, compare/contrast, and simile/metaphor. All in all, you are still comparing one thing to another. There is just that subtle difference that makes each unique (sort of like people-different, yet the same).

Look forward to seeing your next one.
