Perspective
I see the sky
It’s hue of blue, changing to red or hazy, then black.
I see the airplanes, leaving their own little lines etched into the sky.
The clouds, moving quickly on a windy day,
Forming shapes that sometimes remind me of animals.
At night, I see the lights
The stars and airplanes, mixing in the darkness.
Above my home, I see Orion’s belt,
The three stars, billions or more miles apart,
Yet from my perspective, they seem only inches apart.
Perspective changes a lot.
When you look at something far away,
It’s silly how small it looks
It can make you think differently
Show you the light in a dark situation
Perspective is like advice,
it can be good or bad,
But usually it’s from someone who wants to help.
Everyone has a different perspective on things,
We all have our own experiences.
That’s one of the many things making us unique
We can always share our perspective

I like how the poem took a turn that was unexpected. I also like the metaphors you use to explain what perspective really is. This poem is very descriptive whcih makes it a good poem.
ReplyDeletei really like the way you compared a perspective to advice. It really captured the ecense of the whole poem
