A dye in mid-air can observe a lot.
a partner gasping at the height of the dye looking up,
boys getting ready to snatch it after the bounce and
it can even seperate the real players from the amateurs
by seeing the swift FIFA from one partner to the other.
From up there, it can see the boys clasping cold beers
and exchanging laughter.
The cold beers deeply listening into to the boys lives the past months and the banter that is exchanged among very close friends.
From up there, it can see that these boys have spent a lot of
time apart.
Time apart made these boys instantly move in unison once they reunite but the times have changed and they must limit their handshakes and hugs.
Now this task is a hard one since the boys are a family .
They have gone through highs and lows together and rely on these fun times to let off steam and remember the good things in life. Limiting any aspect of their socializing will definitely make things harder
but it is all temporary.
The dye has also missed being thrown up and sometimes landing into a cold, bonze bath.
It has missed the boys joining and enjoying themselves
but
now they are as close as ever and will cherish every second together.

Miguel, this is a great poem. I found it very unique how you personified the die, and wrote the poem from the die’s perspective. It’s amazing how you described the environment and interactions of beer die through the eyes of the die. The way you tied everything together in the last paragraph really speaks to the connections and enjoyment experienced during beer die. The picture matches the poem perfectly as well.

What a great poem and idea. I loved the idea of writing something from the perspective of an object, and you executed it really well. Also, the picture is really cool too and gives some more context to your poem. I could really feel the nostalgia you were trying to convey with both of these things.
