Response Post 1, Week 3

In response to Candis' Calisthenics, Week 3

The poem that came from the random lines from random sources was packed with loads of images. There is the image of male menopause, which I laughed at. The image of a murdered girl. Also the image of someone smelling the dawn drafts. The arrangement of the lines that made up the poem was interesting, but I would like to see som of the lines moved around more. There is no doubt that there is enough material for this to be a very interesting piece of work. I would like to suggest that the second line become the first line and the fourth line become the third line. I think with a few revisions and playing around with the lines that this could really blossom into an awesome piece. 

Free Write, Week 3

I thought it was abstract
so how come when I 
go to CVS the day before
the dumbest holiday ever created,
by humans of course, 
I can touch the bears, candy stored in boxes with pretty ribbons,
red, pink, and white pencils and pens, and the list goes on?

why didn't they just leave it the way it should be, untouched but well loved.

Sign Inventory 3, Week 3 (Dan Albergotti's "Lessons of th Elements: Air"


  • The specific title of this poem is "Air" but the first line of the poem makes me as the reader assume the speaker is talking about going under water. Even though the speaker did not say "water", I automatically thought water.
  • Air seems to be the element that the speaker wants to save him from "drowning".
  • The poet establishes a struggle in the life of the speaker. "I was an old man drowning/in his hospital room, going down".
