  1. I liked this poem because I love to run. It represents my goal driven self in poem form. I felt I need to include things i have kept telling myself in order to be in the place i want to be at. It's all about where I can go and where I want to be with my passion.

  2. I wrote my poem about october and all the things that come along with it. I used the villanelle style poem, by doing this even when I changed to a different topic in a line it would still come back to the main idea of october!
