Prompt 12

What is "I"?
I am behind the eye that seeks perfection.
I is the inner self while the eye looks out to the world.
I love country music, eye hates the country.
I like my blackberry, eye hates the glare from the screen.
I hate flying, eye loves new unfamiliar places.
I am bad at writing poems, eye likes reading poems.
I should be made up of the dynamic duo of
I and eye.

  1. I like the way you write with I and eye. I was thinking very deeply, and coming up short, about what I wanted to do the whole time, but I think it is good how you compare your inner you, to the world that sees you, or what you see. Basically comparing how you feel to how you absorb things.

  3. I love that you wrote this so poetically. You juxtaposed "I" and "eye" and I is someone, and eye sees something, so I thought that was really creative, good work!

    WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT! The way you juxtapose the idea of "I" and "eye" is excellent.
