High School Epic Comments

I really enjoyed this poem. The format of it being in a multiple stanza haiku made it very interesting and fun to read. The recurring “Somewhere…But not here” was clever and I thought that added a lot to the poem in terms of relaying a sense of yearning and regret to the audience. The whole poem is well-written and has a lot of accurate imagery that describes certain situations and things in ways that the audience can really relate to. It was easy to understand and had a lot of back stories behind each of the stanzas so that you knew something happened that caused the speaker to feel this certain way but she does not express what those are, which also adds a somewhat of a mystery aspect. There isn’t really anything in this poem that I don’t like. I feel it was ended at a very appropriate spot and is pretty fleshed out. Everything she says in this is true and is an accurate representation of how high school is. The way it’s written makes it seem like it’s describing something completely different because the descriptions are so deep and thought-provoking, which it could very well be. I did make one small change to it however, which was switching “friends fair weather” to “fair weather friends.” Overall, I liked it a lot.
