He Was Not Afraid
Philippe always said
Dreams are essential.
At 6:00 on Tuesday August 6th
Everyone’s eyes were above them
As Philippe was looking down to
them
1,360 ft in the air
In between the twin towers
People were looking up at him
In awe
As if he were the father of the
twins.
He had a smile on his face
while everyone was thinking
“Impossible”
He felt as if
they became his friends
He was overwhelmed with a sense of
simplicity
Looking up to Philippe
like he was a diamond in the sky
he made me feel like
not only me
but the people around me
could all conquer our own dreams.
Great job on your poem! like you said in your intro, I think your poem does a great job of showing how incredible what Phillippe did was. My favorite lines are the two quotes, "As if he were the father of the twins," and "like he was a diamond in the sky." these were great uses of figurative language.
ReplyDeleteI love how you used "father of the twins" that's a really neat way to put it!! I also completley connect with your last stanza and how if he can conquer his crazy dream we all can conquer our own too. I really enjoyed your poem.
ReplyDeleteThe way you told the story of Philippe had me intrigued. The word impossible seemed to be a large contribution to his utmost desire to conquer the dream. I love that you said that they became his friends and how he was overwhelmed with a sense of simplicity. Great poem overall.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed how you spoke as if you were underneath Petit along with the crowd, watching as the event went on. Calling him "a diamond in the sky" was also very creative. Nice Poem!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job, I liked your comparison of how you thought that Phillip was "the father of the towers" never thought of it like that. You had very creative and good rhythm with your poem. I felt it was very similar to mine.
