Thanksgiving Journal


Digging deeper into the roots of past struggles, experiences, and connections.
1.       Most of my newer poems seem to look deeper into what the topic is. I try to talk about something, and show the topics significance and/or meaning to me. I attempt to show why a topic is significant to me through explaining an experience, struggle, or connection.
2.       Earlier in the year, my poems would be a lot blander, and I would not put much significance or connection to my life. For example if I were to write this poem earlier in the year, I would have just written about what we did together, I would not have attempted to show how I see my teammates as a second family.

A Second Family
We all show up together, to the cool, loud and
compact studio rink, for a harmless game.
We chirp each other, with no hard feelings.
Our heartless jokes are our form of heartfull compliments.
We all cram in the small, smelly locker room together,
When a parent brings us all refreshing Gatorades and energizing
Sandwiches. We sit there for hours, we let the game we all
commonly love bring us together, and spend
 the wonderful thanksgiving together.
