"You run to the main hallway of your house,

hoping that the three rockets don’t strike you,

Crushing your every bone

Tearing your skin to pieces

Exploding your organs to a river of blood "

I love your poetry. One in particular was You laugh…

As if we are a joke

How hilarious it must be

To make fun of an oppressed minority group with a high suicide rate.
This was such a strong beginning to a powerful poem. You started off so strongly

I run short on words when I am trying to explain your poetry. Not only one of your poems was good, but them all. You did such a good job with imagery and allowing for the reader to feel what you were trying to say. I do a very good job on repetition which for there to be an umph on every stanza. Proud!

"a good song on the radio. / a Jewel to hold close to your chest. / makes you turn and look at Sleep / as she’s tugging on your shoulder. / you tell her to wait."

I really liked that you turned Sleep into a concrete noun and gave it a sense of personality. It really adds to the description of the poem while exempliying the feeling of tiredness.

I like the use of metaphorical language in your poem. I loved these lines: When the young dandelion made a mistake

The rose forgave him

The dandelion gave the rose some stress so she lost a few pedals"

The Darker the flesh

The deeper the roots

The first thing someone sees

But always overlooked

I liked this poem a lot because it really hits home with us being African American. The first few lines hit me pretty deep.

Your poem has language that creates a sense of motion. "Judgement running and bouncing from mouth to mouth."

This is great.

# data[].attributes.body

Melted to the bottom of her stomach" You can really feel it when reading them

"Sometimes you will stumble

Trip

Or fall

But you must always get back on your feet

You might hurt , but still get up

The only way to walk is to put one foot in front of the other

One step at a time"

I like your enitre instructions poem. I like the repetion you used in it and the message you present in it. Good job Cianni :)

“Her warm beating heart left behind at big white doors for the entrance to America”
This line to me was so strong because I thought it just emphasized how there are truly certain things that are lost when immigrants enter America. There is a price to pay. I resonated with this poem because I am an immigrant myself and the price that we had to pay was that we had to leave family behind that we loved very much.

Your poem was really hard hitten, it was a topic that is not easily talked about and I felt like your poem really hit hard at it. Your title went well with the poem

"But what about his daughters?/ Why do they live in the shadow of his glory? / Why won’t they rest until they receive / Just as many shells as his sons"

I like the use of questions to begin a stanza! It lets the reader think while reading and makes the poem feel like it is directed towards a specific event and makes the call to action stand out.

It feels like I’ve been running a marathon in the time span of 5 minutes

I limp across the gym floor

Back and forth while my coach tells me to push"

"I am not a thigh or a wing of a chicken

You may not piece me and give me to your friends

I am growth, but not as a plant that you need to put me into your soil

You are a gardener of wicked ways."
I like how your poem is about how women get described or portrayed as objects for men but showing that you're way more than just someones object.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked your poem because I feel like the poem itself was a huge metaphor and it was presented really nicely. The line that made me really like your poems was when you said “my body is an art” and I thought that to me was just such a good line to emphasize that everybody has their own individual body.

# data[].attributes.body
The line between sleeping and napping isa really good poem because most people think there the same thing.
