“Hello!!!” By Jackson Strand&nbsp; Don't you feel like you see the same wall every day? You feel all you have is your own thoughts. You feel you need to yell… “HELLO!!!!” You feel you are all by yourself&nbsp; It feels like when you speak it’s like an echo in a cave But the only thing that sticks around is you&nbsp; “Wait, you feel like all that sticks around is you. But really…” It could be a lot worse you could be in one spot all the time&nbsp;&nbsp; your house&nbsp; The earth! Sit in the same spot all day And depending on where you live your family&nbsp; those people and things also feel alone&nbsp; And think about your house it's always in the same spot&nbsp; And if your house got up and walked away You're in a trench of trouble So maybe write a letter&nbsp;to the thing that sticks around for you Because if it was not there… Then you are really alone.

Introduction&nbsp; Hello and my name is Jackson. My poem&nbsp;is based on the poem Dear Sky by Naomi Shihab Nye. Her poem is about the sky and how grateful she is for it being there. Mine is about why you should write that poem. Also it's about how right now we are stuck in one spot kinda like a house.&nbsp;
