The idea, “to ponder who could see the covenant beyond the gold,” stays with me, especially as it follows the story of “losing a wedding ring.” It is a good question, whether others can see that “covenant,” the one the ring represents. Covenant is a strong word, almost sacred in its essential meaning. The line has colour, good word choice and a strong rhythm.

The idea" protest against unfairness, appeal your rights," forces us to think about the world scenario. The super powers are trying to suppress the poor countries for their petty gains and thousands of people are dying everyday due to their intentions. It suggests us to unite together to speak against such acts.

The idea about " a conversation held without speaking a word" stuck in my mind. It is an unique sense, which expresses in a gaze, action, and touch, when words are not necessary. Words are extra thing in this case. Unfortunately, not many people can do it now.

The idea about “Life is the only way to… protest against unfairness,.. succeed, or become a symbol” seems strong to me. There are exceptional people who dedicate themselves the protection of fairness, even despite the danger. The word “symbol” is very significant and helps to understand the idea better. History knows people who suffered in their straggle for human rights or justice, and became symbols of humanity. – 53 words

I selected the lines, “and to stand in front of died trees for while; and to imagine something important for human life”, because of the realistic image and the reflective feeling. It is enjoyable how the poet uses trees to represent the significance. A tree is the factory of oxygen and is the house of many creatures.The lines shows us the common and unfavourably tendency to not appreciate something vital for us until is gone. -55 words (not including words quoted from the poem)

The idea about Angela’s poem, “To be a salmon, or swim against the upstream” stuck in my head.
“Salmon” is an awesome symbol to follow as an human. It encourages us not to be afraid even though we are in darkness. -47 words

The idea “stand on ice” sounds full of fun, but when you follow it- it teaches the life. Specially when it says “to look for answers on all possible questions’’ that is when a world of curiosity blossoms. It has up and down as ordinary life and warns at the end if it’s not taken serious. --56 words

The stanza, “smell the perfume at a forest; and to stand in front of died trees for a while; and to imagine something important for human life.” has left me a meaningful aftertaste. The author only captured a ray of scent and some died trees, but they created an atmosphere and brought me back into the everlasting history. There is a strong contrast between the nature and human life and can inspire an unlimited imagination.

The idea “carry the passenger 24 hours a day, relief on the loudest wail” surprised me, because the words “passenger” is aptly worded. For some people who has never pregnant, I think they can really feel the heavy burden; however the reward is the wail. This also shows life is how you enjoy the process, but not the outcome. 59words

The idea " built up yourself again from a thousand piece" is powerful. It shows how life looks like. When we make mistakes and missed opportunities, it will be difficult and time consuming to go for the second chance. As we know, life is ups and downs. Even though it costs time and energy, it is a great privilege to get another chance.

I chose this part, “To spun into a cocoon end up transformed into a butterfly and fly in the sky,” because this has interesting sounds and meaning. The author was creative specially in creating sounds. There is rhythm between butterfly, fly and sky and there is metaphor in it, as I understood, the meaning of this gives a feeling of life’s step of human life from beginning to somewhere in the middle.

My favorite line, “mislay your wedding ring at the mall, to ponder who could see the covenant beyond the gold”. It is very thoughtful. Something is much meaningful than its market price, but other people would ignore the invisible important value.

I like the idea, “to spun into a cocoon end up transformed into a butterfly and fly in the sky”. It reminds me that a new life will start and become freer; it also represents that an exciting journey is going to begin. ---43 words

The metaphor, "carry the passenger 24 hours a day," impresses me. At first, It seems a funny description. But on second thought, the figurative language vividly illustrates how hard and tired it is to be a mother. And two words come to my mind suddenly "flesh cab".
