Awesome! I love how the sentences all have the same feel and they go
with the theme of changing and transformations. Personally, I think if
the title was just " change" or "transformation" it would have a
greater impact and all of the sentences aren't taken literally. By
changing the title, the poem is more general and it can relate to many
different things rather than just the transformation of a child.
I love the imagery in the lines! They paint such a beautiful picture
in my head!!
To me, the poem reminds me of changes, milestones, and decisions . I
also like how all of the lines are about changing positively.
Good job guys!! :)

I think that although this poem is in regards to the transformation of
a child the transformation is one that continues to happen over and
over again in all stages of life. For instance, there are some aspects
of my life where I no longer act as the passenger but take charge and
drive the path that I want to - yet - in a marriage - I can't always
be the driver (not sure what my husband would say on that one). Point
being that transformations and changes do not only happen once in
life. The last line of your poem demonstrates that! Great work group!

I think the poem is pretty good and I like the fact that the title
basically sums up the entire poem and fits each line instead of a
general feel. I also like the metaphors used in the poem, which could
relate to other things. Such as when you’re older, a kid could mean an
adult but still having fun like a kid, so it still would make sense
regardless of time and age. The poem would, for me, mean life. The
fact that because you’re one thing now, doesn’t mean you’re that thing
forever, the fact that one can and will always change as time moves.
Some aspects of how we change though would entirely depend on
ourselves though.

So, I don't know how this really works. :) I just hope it posts?

This poem is actually very well done. I love the fact that these are
ACTUAL transformations we go through from a child to a teenager. My
favourite line would definitely be the last one.. "I wish I could
forget but I dream to forgive." Love it! Very good job guys!!

This is a great poem. I liked it. Its very true. To me the poem seems
like its talking about life and growing up. "I used to be afraid of
heights but now I am on top of a mountain". We all have fears that we
faced throughout our lives, and that we have bet. I liked this poem
very much. Good job guys.

This poem is awesome. You can really capture the imagery with each
line . I think this poem is also about the life journey we go on, and
how we are always growing, physically and mentally by challenging
ourselves. " I used to be afraid of heights but now I am on top of a
mountain." This really speaks out and not just as a fear but as a
challenge a person overcame for themselves.
So this poem really does a great job in potraying how every day is an
adventure and we all grow in each ways.

I really liked this poem. It was another one of my favourites. The
line I liked best was "I used to be afraid of heights, but now I'm on
top of the mountain." To me, it's the one line that stood out amongst
all of the other lines from any of the other poems. I also like the
line about once being a passenger and now being a driver, for obvious
reasons. :)

I like how this poem describes the past to present, hence the title.
It shows us how much we have developed/changed til now. This poem is
also easy to relate to.
