Sunny Skies
It's funny you and I
Were both so blue
Do you feel the things I do?
Sunny Skies
I still can see your eyes
When you said hello
I knew all too soon you'd go
When the autumn came you went away
Was our summer love a bit too hot for you to stay?
Please don't make this last forever
It's raining January through December
Please don't take away my Sunny Skies
Sunny Skies
A tear fell from my eyes
And since you went away
I've been sad, blue and grey
Sunny Skies
It's really no surprise
That I'm lost alone and I wish you just come home
When the autumn leaves came tumbling down
I looked everywhere and you could not be found
Don't make it last forever
It's raining January Through December
Please don't take away my Sunny Skies
I usually do not write pieces that have repetition in them but this seemed fitting. The sample listed above The reader can link the works because the first line is like the thesis of an essay, it is the main idea and the focus that all the symbolism from there on out will revolve around; a connecting factor that brings the stray images together. Frost starts at one point, builds builds builds on the symbolism, then, at the end, like in an essay, he repeats his thesis to tie those branches into a single knot again. The repetition is unifying.

Craig- I thought this poem was really cute. I liked how you compared the sky to how the character was feeling- how the sky is blue and so is he. I liked how you linked alot of things together. I think the repatition in this poem is important.
