OM-Nothing+gold+can+stay.

This poem, is about life, and the way that it goes. The metaphor nothing gold can stay means that there are a lot of good things in life that happen, but they don't always stay the way you want them too. There are ups, and downs, and in this poem, i think it is targeting and the downs. I liked this poem a lot, because it is a very small poem, but it has so much meaning to it. When I read it for the first time, I didn't really understand what it meant, until I unpacked it, and read it step by step. Last year I read the book the Outsiders, and the book really related to this poem. The book was about gangs, and fighting for whats right. "when dawn goes down to day, nothing gold can stay". When it says dawn goes down to day, it really means the beggining(or the gold), turns into reality, when nothing in life is perfect.
