Author's Note- a response to the novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon
A boy full of love,
Full of happiness,
Of love.
He is different from you and I,
But smart like all the rest.
He sees things different,
In a whole new light.
He understands logic,
And knows right from wrong.
But what people see,
Is different from what he sees.
Why is it thought of to be bad
To be different.
In our world,
Aren't we all just that,
Different?
His mind,
A beautiful thing,
Shows him pictures,
Like our minds,
But he sees everything different,
With a different mind.
This poem starts a little slow, but really picks up for me as soon as you get into the idea of everyone's mind working differently. Not only is that an important point in the novel, but that part of the poem becomes a cool message you could really try to convey with poetry. I would add to look back and check that things are as you want them to be as far as grammar and mechanics are concerned.
ReplyDeleteI really like this Mikki! I like the ideas you thought of from reading this novel. You really hit it on the head on how everyone sees things differently. Good job :)
