Dear Ocean,

I am delighted by your poem “Hedgehog”, by Paul Muldoon because of “The hedgehog gives nothing
Away, keeping itself to itself”.

” We wonder what a hedgehog Has to hide, why it so distrusts”, stands out for me. I think “We forget the god Under this crown of thorns”, are thought provoking because of, “We forget that never again Will a god trust in the world”.

Your poem reminds me of the underline messages and metaphors used in a open mic where an 11 year old poet read her poem “things that I believe”, where she used simile to describe people and animals .

Thanks for your poem. I look forward to seeing what you make next.

Dear Ocean,
I can also remember my first time listening to Clint Eastwood by the Gorillaz and I still find joy in playing it when I skate, or when I work out. I can also remember the first comic I ever read. although I never dressed up my favorite demon slayer character I remember the first time watching it. I really enjoyed reading what you had to say because it brought up memories that I thought I had forgotten.

Dear Ocean:
I am amazed with your poem, “Where I’m From” because you’re talking about all these unique things that makes you, you.
One line that stands out for me is, “From those memories I know I am the product of intellect and diverse cultures ”. I think this line is great because you’re talking about your family.
Thanks for your poem. I look forward to seeing what you make next.

Dear Ocean:

Your poem talks about Central Park and how beautiful and how it one of New york beautiful features. Thanks for your poem. I look forward to seeing what you make next because I like how you describe Central Park.

Dear Ocean,
I am appreciative of your poem, “Central Park,” because It talks about the beauty of central park and its birds, people, and environment. I like how you described the park as If I were in it right now.
One line that stands out for me is, “the laughter of kids playing basketball”. I think this line is intriguing because It really describes the way that the park would be if you went there right now. I can picture it in my head.
Another line that stands out for me is, “a variety of birds can be found”. I think this line is interesting because I can picture the birds and I notice the birds when I go to the park, even If I don’t look at them I still hear them. I think birds are very interesting because there are so many in the trees.
Thanks for your poem Ocean. I look forward to seeing what you make next.

Dear Ocean:
I am emotionally Inspired by your poem, “Central Park,” because of the way you describe it and how you use the beauty of it’s nature.
One line that stands out for me is, “ and the feeling of a breeze that can help relieve.
With the smell of fresh air, you start to not care”. I think this line is relatable because after I walk around this park for a long time, I start to see the little thing and the blossoming of the world.
Your poem reminds me of the many things/emotions Central Park provides. Because for me being born in New York I have taken advantage of this park and everything it has to offer since I’ve been there so many times.
Thanks for your poem. I look forward to seeing what you make next. Because I enjoyed your take on the world and the way you made these words come together.
