""when it rains my tears collect inside
with no one to cry them out for me."
"with my shriveled body stuffed
rudely in the wicker coffin."
I found I really liked these particular lines, they were so unique and moving and it really allows me to feel the pain that the tire swing and the balloon is feeling here. I love this. I thought the author used these objects perfectly and the way they showcase someone growing older and outgrowing them as they become an adult is beautiful. I adore the imagery conveyed in this poem, it really is elegant and dazzling.
"Soon enough we will again
fly away on freedom's wind."
I adore the hope here and I enjoyed how even though the author paints loss and pain previously, they end on such a positive and uplifting note. I thought the author did a magnificent job at bringing the objects to life."
