Spring Break
Spring vacation
Mid-term break
Unique vacation experience
time to pack up, get out of town
beautiful beaches
booked their flights,and packed their bags
come spend Spring Break in paradise
This poem gets me really hyped for spring break to bad it is not spring yet. The critique’s that I have about your poem is that it is kind of short and the poem does not rhyme, doesn’t have any flow to it and paints no imagery. But makes me want to pack my things right now and fly out to a beach and enjoy spring break already. Too bad spring break is so far away or we all could be enjoying paradise. I can’t wait to be on a beach or go back home for spring break and I think you have right idea with this poem.
Jen, What were your sources for this poem? My favorite part of this poem is the three ways you've identified "spring break" in the beginning, which helps us realize that people see this academic break in different ways. Depending on one's circumstances, it may mean a vacation, while for others it may simply be a quiet break. Some may even have to work during the so-called break. You've also tapped into the ways that this academic holiday has been transformed into a tourism/vacation business, with many beaches and cities advertizing directly to college students. This reminds us that college students represent their own target audience for businesses.
