Critique 6: Her Lips Are Copper Wire

My Take on the Poem:

When I first read the title, I thought the person, particularly a fermale was wearing a lipstick that resembled the color of copper. I also thought about the electric forces in a copper wire. This led me to think  that the electric charge in a copper wire is compared to a passionate force or connection that the speaker associate's with the woman's lips. Copper wire is used in chemistry experiments and I guess this is used to compare the "chemistry" between his lips and hers. Throughout the poem, there seems to be a connection between them.

Exercise 6: Something on my Mind


Something on my Mind

 I don’t know why
I wonder why
I need to understand
 I wonder why
 something is bothering me
I will figure this out
The way it used to be
Time has abanoned me
So busy with school
My thoughts still puzzle me
I drink water to relax my mind
At this very moment in time
My thoughts will hopefully go away and leave me alone
The puzzle is completing
I put everything together in my mind
There’s progress, for something is happening

Remake of "I Live Where the Leaves are Pointed"
