Reflection

In my poem, I use the “concert hall” to represent life as a metaphor. I also use the “performance” to represent different events in life. These events can be positive or negative as life is made up of ups and downs. We must learn to understand and appreciate this.

In the first stanza, I used ‘familiar’ and ‘woke to the call’ to show that the persona is part of the performance. He experienced and went through the ups and downs in life.

In the following three stanzas, I use three different pieces each played by three instrument. This is express three emotions, anger, sorrow and joy, which we experience during the events in life. In addition, I use question mark at the end of the stanza to show the possibility of events in life.

In the last stanza, I conveyed the message of the poem to the readers.
