Good planets are hard to replace by Morgan Kehn
Good planets are hard to replace
Can't you see that
It's time to pick up the pace
We have no where else to go, we can't go to space!
All this time we have been acting fat
Good planets are hard to replace
We have become addicted to our cars to bring us place to place
It's time to pick up the slack
We need to hurry up and get with the pace
We need to go back and reface
The reality, we know for a fact
It's time to step up to the base
It's our time to step up to the base
It's our time to take the bat
We all need to work together because Earth is all of our birthplace
We will sprint into this race
This is no time to get scared and scat
Good planets are hard to replace
Oh yes, we will come in first place
The Back Seat of my Mothers Car by Julia Copus:
This poem is very interesting. Its almost hard to figure out what its about. I had to read it several times to figure it out, and I'm still not to sure what it is about. I think its about a daughter being taken away from her father by her mother. The format of this poem is one that I have never seen before. The poem is written once, and then repeated again but backwards. The first line of the poem is "We left before I had time" and the last line of the first stanza is "with the cool slick glass between us", but that line is also the first line of the second stanza. Sense the poem is repeated again backwards for the second stanza, the last line of the poem is "we left before I had time."
I thought that the poems roaming with my father, I go back to may 1937, and track photo were very good poems. I think that these poems were all a lot easier to read and understand then the other poems I have mentioned in this blog post. Roaming with my father was clearly about the "sundays in summer" that Mimi and her mom and dad went "roaming after church". I think that this poem is very relaxing to read. I go back to may 1937 was obviously about Sharon Olds thinking about talking to her parents back when they were " about to graduate, (and) they are about to get married." She wanted to tell them "stop, don’t do it—she’s the wrong woman, he’s the wrong man," but she wants "to live" so she just lets them continue. Lastly Fatherland was a little confusing but still manageable to read through without getting to confused. This is about Mimi going to "homecoming" and seeing all of the fathers waiting around. I thought all of these poems were very unique and interesting.

Swings
I spent most of my time on you when I was young
I laughed on you then cried when I fell
I remember pumping with my legs to get great height
I would runt to you with nothing to do
I would let you take me up to the top
I would let you take me to the sky
I miss those days of such simple pleasures
I wish things were still that simple
I will once again come to visit you old friends
I will come to you with boredom and you will give me the sky
