We+Are+More

Shane Koyczen's poem "We are More", is poem about Canadians and who they are. He uses the word "we" when he is describing all Canadians and starts off with common stereotypes which I find ironic because he is saying what the outside world thinks of Canadians when at the same time he is describing all Canadians as one. Although, mainly all he says is good things, there are many Canadians that do not fit the stereotype Shane Koyczen created. I did enjoy the poem though, it's a descriptive, imaginative poem that gives a good name to Canadians and it made me feel proud to be a canadian.

"We are an idea in the process of being realized" This metaphor creates an analogy in my mind of Canadians being a group of people working hard and progressing, trying to become discovered. I think it's explaining how with all the stereotypes Canadians have, we still try to be accepted. All in all a great poem that reacheed over 6 billion people this guy will be rememberd for a long time. He will go on doing the thing he does best Bieng canadian and a great Poet!
