5 Poems I liked

Pg. 172 “Calgary 2 am”
I appreciated how this one got straight to the point, and utilized words that you would associate to only certain definitions in a totally opposite manner. Like
“in spite of being starved starved almost to death
for greenness and warmth flowers and birds”
he use starved, a word that you would associate with hunger for food, but in a way that he hungered for the cold to be over, the snow to be gone, the night to be day, and the dull and dreary to be colorful and full of life.

Pg. 189 “Crazy Times”
This one I just thought was fairly clever, I mean it related pretty much opposites...
