This is a project for my English class. I was supposed to write a poem and then display/perform it in a public place and elicit a response. Please take a few seconds to tell me your reaction to this poem (even if all you do is say that it's preachy or hypocritical or I read too fast. Just tell me SOMETHING).
Thanks!

My honest reaction: I feel guilty. Lol, I'm always inside at the computer, tv, or at best a book. I hardly ever go for walks or anything, so now I feel bad (it didn't help that when I saw the Wii remote I went "WII!!").

Nice video, especially that bird flying away at the end. Very well done. (I hope you get a good grade/whatever from your english class!)

Umm... I'm not a poetry nerdfighter by any means, but I liked this. Rhyming always seems so little kid to me, but this worked. I work on a farm, so thankfully no guilt trip for me, but I like the message :) Hope I helped!

I really like this, it expresses without overwhelming

It's a nice poem. It's funny that you're trying to get people away from their computers using an online video. A bit hypocritical. But just because you're a hypocrite, doesn't mean you're wrong. :)
And I like the bird at the end of the video...

that was really good. I didn't get how the video and poem matched up at first but I got it in the end

I like it... I would go outside... but its cold... when I first listened to it i had just put a dvd in and didnt realize it was playing cause it started right with your video... I was kind of like, hmm this is slightly depressing music... then the video stoped and the music continued, whats really sad is i listended to it for about two minutes before realizing it wasnt your video... But I think it would have been better with some sort of instramental music in the backround, like the kind they use in movies just before they ride into battle... that kind of inspiring music! Tres Fantastique!

Very nice. Very relevant conflict between the entertainment and community offered via computers and other electronics and the experiences available to us from the great outdoors. I did have to watch it twice because it moved fast. : ) Well done.

Okay, the comment above from sarafeana777 is actually from me. I didn't realize that my daughter had signed on using my computer. : )
