Reflection on The Silence

I decided to do my project on the poem "The Silence" by Phillip Schultz. For this project I wanted to do a poem I hadn't done before. I haven't been a big poem reader and wanted to get a few more under my belt. I went to poets.org and picked the subject of alcohol and started reading until I found one that spoke to me. This one was the one. I chose this option because I wanted to see if I was actually understanding what was written. I want to know if I will be able to figure it out in the future so I can maybe keep reading some poems, since I did seem to find this section enjoyable. Extremely difficult, but enjoyable. I found this poem challenging because it seemed to jump from one thing back to another, so I wasn't quite sure I was following it right away, but in the end I think I got it. I think I gained another prospective of how to view the time that grows between friends.
