In honor of poetry month, I decided to read a poetry book.
“Don’t Forget to Fly” is a collection of modern poems organized by themes. For instance, there are three poems about love and four poems are about teeth extractions. I’m not a fan of reading poetry for fun, but I did like these poems
overall. One of the poems that spoke to me is called “Lines for a Friend Who
Left.” This hit my soft spot because one
of my friends moved away five years ago and I haven’t seen her since. As it says in the poem, I want her to “come back, before I forget what we both
look like.”
My favorite poem in
this book is called “Insomnia” because it describes how crazy our minds get when
we are so focused on trying to fall asleep that we can’t fall asleep. I love
how accurate it reflected my own experiences when I can’t fall asleep; my mind is
everywhere at once, and I end up hearing things that are not there.
