I guess its true.
Why?
Because you said so,
that's why.
You tell me things,
and I listen to you tell me things.
And I have to believe that they're true
'Cause what's the point of listening
if they're not?
And I do listen...
So I guess they have to be,
right?
I think this is a good poem because it made me think. I had to read this a few times to take in the meaning and Mr. Horvath always says if it is good poetry sometimes it doesn't make sense. Therefore I think this is a good example of poetry.
ReplyDeleteI also don't agree with what this poem is telling me. The way I interpret this poem it is saying that just because someone is telling you something it is right and you believe it. I feel that I am able to have my own opinion on what someone tells me. If we believed everything that people say then everyone would agree with each other and no one would have their own opinion, right? therefore I don't agree with the message I get from this poem.
I agree with your poem on how it says when people tell you things you believe it. i also believe what people tell me or what’s the point of listening. Therefore I agree on your poem.
ReplyDeleteI loved this poem. I think its very deep and meaningful.And this poem should really make people think. This was a greta piece of writing. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI liked this poem a lot. It was a little confusing at first and I had to re-read a couple lines. But I liked it because I could relate to it. I think what this poem is saying is that, sometimes its hard to believe people. But even if they lie to you over and over again you will always fogive them every time.
ReplyDeletei agree with this poem because what is the point of listening to people talk when they are saying lies or things that are not important and you dont care about. In the case of this poem what was the point of the person listening to the other person talk if they were sharing all lies
ReplyDeleteThis poem is so... intense. I love how you wrote this because it made me think very hard! For example, I was thinking about if this is true. Do we only listen because we know it's true? : the question I was asking myself and still am. Therefore, this poem made me question and reread and rethink which is exactly what you want someone to do with such a deep piece. Great job :)
