Pole Vaulting: Thoughts of a Mental Jumping Idiot - By Skyler
Thousand of thoughts, standing there finding a grip
Don’t slow down, Plant high, Touch your feet to the sky!
Everything that was said over and over and over again
Do everything right, ..........
Don’t slow down, Plant high, Touch your feet to the sky!
Everything that was said over and over and over again
Do everything right, ..........
My Analysis:
I selected this poem because the title appealed to me. I could picture an idiot jumping!
It is a seven line poem consisting of one verse.
There is no defined rhyme scheme.
There are several examples of enjambment as the idea on lines 1, 3 and 5 continue onto the next line.
"Thousand of thoughts" is an example of alliteration due to the repeating "th" sounds.
