Noticing

Looking.
it can't always get you that
far
it presents you with something you
want
it can trick you
help you believe

oh Looking
it knows you
it knows them
it knows the things hidden
the even Looking cannot
see
it knows

Looking.
it can take you to the edge
make you feel what isn't there
Looking can be
wrong

but then you meet Noticing
Noticing can be there for you
Noticing presents the missing pieces
Noticing can help you put Looking
behind

In this poem i used personification by treating the verbs "Looking" and "Noticing" as if they were human. I had the know things and do things that I'm pretty sure verbs can't actually do. I also used enjambment to put emphasis not the words that are opposite to the main idea of the poem. It is a poem about opening your eyes and noticing instead of just looking. So the words that were left alone like "far" and "want", "wrong" and "behind" are associated with the negativeness the poem is trying to stop. I also used anaphora with the phrase "it knows" and "Noticing" in the second and fourth stanza. These were used to express the amount of things that Looking and Noticing due and also draw attention to the contrasts between the two.
