Flight

In “Flight,” Laurel Blossom creates an easy-going, fun tone, by including rhyme, meter, and her own twist on common knowledge of the regions of the United States. By creating the easy to follow rhyme scheme of ending three lines with the same sound, such as “you”, “goo”, and “do,” Blossom creates an on-going flow that the reader does not have to struggle to keep up with. This lets the reader relax and enjoy the poem, like the author enjoys the Florida sun. By having a meter that includes few syllables per line, the reader again forces an easy flow of the poem to make it more easy-going. Blossom brings the fun of Florida to life by adding her own, humorous take on simple words. For example, she says “land of euphoria” where the rhyme and meter would lead to the reader expecting to hear “land of the free.” By creating an poem that is easy to follow along with an exciting and fun to read, Laurel Blossom brings the Florida attitude to life and creates an environment of freedom and fun in the sun.
