I think that the line spacing in the poem give each word or even each line more power. This really gives the poem feeling and emotion. It gets all readers interested. I know this because in lines 17-19, it says "Realization of that which I am." That is a powerful statement. But now read it with the line breaks in it. "Realization

Of that which

I am"

That gives each line a different sound and meaning. It really gives emphasis to everything. Also, brings out what the author really wanted the reader to feel.

I found a couple of examples in my poem... Here they are:

"I am living on the edge of breath" - Metaphor

"Single element of a moment in time can make the difference" - Hyperbole

I think that this poem has a beat, the beat/rhythm is shown below. The only two words that it is hard to follow the beat into is element and moment. This makes me think that maybe the author wanted those two words to stick out. Because that would make them have more power.

I thought the theme of the poem is Enjoy the Time you have. I thought this because in lines 6,7 and 8 it says " Single element of a moment" This makes me think that a lot can happen in a single moment. You have to be realizing that you won't be here forever. You have to enjoy the time you have.

I think that the speaker is Mattie, the author. I think think this because, in line 1 it says "I". This shows me that Mattie is able to relate to what he is writing. He is able to show that in is poem. (May I add that he is 11!) I know this because in lines 5-11 it says "Where a single element of a moment in time can make the difference." That has a lot of passion. It really got me interested. It probably would show a lot of passion to other readers too.
