Little Things by Julia Carney
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.

Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make our world an Eden
Like the Heaven above.

The form of the poem I chose is short and has only two paragraph. The poem is short but it can describe a lot of people by just using the two paragraphs. I think it represents me by 'Little drops of water, Little grains of sand' because like the drops of water is like the blood and the grains of sand is like the flesh, the bones that makes me up. The waters and the sands can be a lot of different things, like the water can be the personality and the sand be the identity that makes me up.
When I read 'Little Things' by Julia Carney, I get this images like little things gathering and clustering together and making a gigantic thing that is mighty strong. Like that can be referring to human-being.
The speaker of the poem is being ambiguous but I get it that nobody can be confused by the things written down by Julia Carney. I just wrote ambiguous because the topic can be referred to a lot of things, including you.
How this poem sounds to me is like little things being made into a huge, tough things.
Perhaps it is a matter of stupidity, or perhaps just a failure to understand context. I get this poem like many little things can be made into a big thing. So like anything useless might be something very useful when its in large number, for example, a drop of water with useless, but when the whole planet is circled with big puddles of water then it might be rather useful to travel across.
