up and down
Up and down
I’m an ocean
I’ll never drown
Connected to love’s devotion
Up and down
I am free
My smile is my crown
My aura is my tree
Up and down
Soaking in change
Living from my galaxy’s town
I’ll never derange
Down and up
Liquid light fills my cup
I am a cherished love
Floating within and above
stop
Riding the sun on a beam
Sailing the ocean on a dream
I land on a hope
Jumping this eternal rope
Something inside is calling
Something outside is falling
Following the paradox’s rustle
I lean into the hustle
My heart stops to beat
My mind stops to become complete
My intuition stops to listen
My soul stops to glisten
And it’s in those stops, I see
Life is a stop
Of a bigger degree
blood, sweat, tears
Some say, “I’ll give you all my blood, sweat, and tears”
As though love and fulfillment take so many years
But when I found you in me
All I said was, “I trust you”
And you opened my reality to every view
You believed in all our conversations
Manifested my dreams through our declarations
And even though I did give you all my blood, sweat, and tears
You would’ve been there even if I didn’t for years
You always found your way in my ears
I could never hide
From your powerful guide
As I let those words dive
I feel our little jive
I hear my eyes smile
And it’ll last a while
Because through all my blood, sweat, and tears
You’ll be with me through every single mile
And as I realize you are me, how could one have any fears?

Wow, I’ve never seen you use rhyme to this extent before. It’s interesting to see poets experiment with different stylistic devices and their potential effects. Up and Down felt like something we might anaylse in our Literature class! The repetition was used perfectly – especially when you broke the pattern at the last stanza and defied expectations by flipping the repeated phrase. I also loved the anthropomorphism of the natural elements that you described. The lines were short but each painted a beautifully descriptive image and the rhyme provided the perfect frame/structure which helped to tie the whole thing together. You should be really proud of that one! The others were great too – Stop continued with the exploration of rhyme’s potential use, but I liked how it had a different purpose in that poem.
