Analysis of Quiet Walk
We went for a walk,
A walk with no talk.
We saw a door,
A door with no lock.

About this poem
I wrote this poem in 2005 for my high school english class. Our teacher had us walk around the outside of the building, without saying any words. When we passed the administration entrance to the building our teacher decided to check the door to see if it was open. He did this because the administration was always harping about keeping the doors to the building shut and locked. Our homework that night was to write a short poem about our walk. This is what I wrote, and read aloud for the class. I got an 'A' on the poem and even was asked to read it again as an encore. more »
