  1. Interesting poem Sasha! I like how you used both shape and language to express your thoughts. Your poem shows that a shape poem doesn't just have to shape an object or place, shape can also be used for effect in a list poem! The variety in vocabulary is great as well.

  2. I really enjoyed this poem, and am curious as to if it was a guitar solo you were referring to, or just any instrumental solo in general? I was disappointed to see that there was no blurb explaining this, but at the same time it left more room for the reader's imagination to roam and personalize the poem. I like how you threw in a variety of words, both contrasting and synonymic (quiet/loud, original/unique).

  3. I really enjoyed reading/looking at this poem. Your creative streak is really impressive. I love how this piece seems to take its reader on a journey through their imagination. Can't wait to see some of your other stuff!

  4. Good job on your poem! It's interesting to see how your solo starts off simple, and gradually builds in shape and complexity. You also have incorporated lots of opposites which gives this a unique twist (low- high pitched, quiet- loud, short phrases- complex phrases). I'm wondering if this is considered a shape poem or is this poem arranged in the triangular form for a specific reason??

  5. I really liked how you used some sort of shape to make your poem. I don't really know what the shape is. Can you inform us on that? The single words really brought out the faint feeling of a solo piece. nice job.

  6. Sasha, I agree with Kevin. I really liked the shape of the poem, although I wasn't totally sure what it was representing. Also, I am curious as to what the name of this type of poety is, I don't think I have ever seen it before. Interesting expression and exploration of the glories and terrors of a solo. Great Work!

  7. Sasha, great poem. Very visually intersting. Is the idea behind it that it builds up and gets so big that you forget that it's only a four letter word? Anyways, nice work and I can't wait to read some more!

  9. Great poem sasha. I like how the words are all individual, but yet they're connected through the picture and the general idea.

  10. Nice poem Sasha, I swear I picked this theme first... But in all honesty this is a very good poem, and it gives a great aural image of a solo performer. Good Job!
