I looked away
and missed a mile
I took a glance
and saw a page
I took a swerve
and crossed a country

This is amazing, I know I'm commenting on a lot of your work... I'm sitting in English class bored out of my mind. So I'm reading your work. :)

Hi my name is Diona and I am South Carolina. I read your poem and I love that its a poem that can mean different things to different people. The poem is short but says a lot in only a few lines. I feel as though it could mean that if you don't look for something you could miss the world or something beautiful. I can learn from this poem that I should keep my eyes on the world in front of me. It was great and I would love to read more work of yours.
