Eyes Wide Open.

I look up at the cloudless sky.
The wind gently strokes my cheeks.
I slightly hear restless cars go by.
Passing people almost missed,
With no sight of them at the close of a door.
Is that what this world's all about?
As fast as someone's in your life,
Suddenly they're out.

  1. The way this is written, its almost like it has a rhythm to go with it. I don't really understand line 4. What exactly does that line mean? Other than that, its very clear and written beautifully.

  2. I really like the last two lines and how its practical to relate to life. Im not fully sure what line four is about, but I really like it what you wrote.

  3. I like how you used what you hear and saw to write. What i really liked was how you used the question to close your writing.

  4. This was a good piece. The only problem is that it left me feeling confused. I wasn't sure what the point was.

  5. I like how you used metaphor to describe the "passing" of people throughout life. The short length and simple yet descriptive phrasing also work well to your advantage. :)
