Pa-Cee-If-I-Cee & The Sarah Spectrum

Pa-Cee-If-I-Cee has excellent imagery, my favorite being the description of the sea as blue cellophane lined with tinsel. I like how it departs from the traditional description of the sea. I’m not sure exactly what the journey the poem is about, but its seems like a journey of both exploration (With the whole world to see) and a kind self discovery, acknowledging that one cant see the future as well as the whole feel of the poem, as if moving on or purposely breaking away from something. The entire poem has a calm introspective feel to it, as if the breaking was foreseen or inevitable but not necessarily painful. The last two lines of the poem speak to an interconnectedness that I think should be explored more in the poem, make every thing interconnected but hide it until the end.
In the Sarah Spectrum I love the use of color and in particular how it helps contrast, as it’s used in both a positive and negative context. I also like how the poem contains very personal emotions about two different people and also contains her feelings of a city and the people in it. I enjoyed the entire poem but particularly the repetition of all around, all around really stuck out to me, giving me an idea of vastness in the poem that I think otherwise would have been lost.
