The poem I chose to write about
is "A Bed of Clouds" by Ashley L. May. This poem talks about how she,
Ashley L. May, is a dreamer. She says how she is is sleeps in the clouds and
dreams in the sky. She explains how she is going to continue dreaming as her life
passes by and how dreaming keeps her balanced. Towards the end of the poem she
says how she knows one day she is going to have to wake up from her dream and
how other people tell her, that her life is going to go anywhere, but she
believes otherwise.
I think that the author wrote this poem to explain to
others something about her. That something being her as a dreamer. I also think
she wrote this poem because one thing she says is that others say that her life
isn't going to go anywhere, so she wrote this to address them and to prove them
wrong. This poem reminds me a lot of myself. Myself because I am a big dreamer
so I felt like I connected to this poem. I believe in the impossible and a lot
of people think the impossible is well impossible. I also do believe that if I
didn't dream I wouldn't be the way I am.
I chose this picture
because it shows what I visualized while reading the poem. It is a person whose
head is in the clouds. It is also like if the person's body is on land, but their head is in the sky. In the poem she talks a lot about dreaming in the sky
and clouds and this picture describes that. That is why I chose this picture.
"A Bed of Clouds"
I sleep
in the clouds, dream in the sky,
