Cracking

  1. This poem relates to "Ace" by Cally Conan-Davies. Your poem speaks of pressure to succeed. I connected that to "Ace," as "Ace" metaphorically ponders concern. Through my personal interpretation, I thought of "Ace" as describing concerns to succeed. It discusses the "what if" factor when success is not attained. The title of the poem, "Ace," is a play on the poem's meaning itself. I thought that "Cracking" could act as a precursor poem to "Ace."

  2. Your poem tells the reader about the pressure to do well. It speaks of expectations to succeed and reach one's potential. This connects to the poem "High Expectations" by Alex Kenneh. This poem is about a young man that is under the pressure to reach expectations set by his family, society and himself. Both your poem and Kenneh's poem talk about the pressure to do well, and the threat of not reaching expectations.
