 * //__We are more__ is a very powerful and meaningful poem. I am proud to call my self Canadian, we are a polite and appreciated country. Shane Koycza uses multiple examples and metaphors in this poem to express how he feels as a Canadian, and how others see our country.//** **//Not only the good but also some negative things as well. I agree with Shane because he really backs up what he is saying and how he shares it. Slam poetry has a very unique form of writing and how its expressed//**

" A country that is all the ways you choose to live A nation that can give you variety  Because we are choices  We are millions upon millions of voices  Shouting, keep exploring  We are more"


 * //Each line has its owe strong meaning behind it and well thought out.//** **//Hearing and reading the poem are very different because when you hear it you don't always understand and catch what the speaking is sharing to you. But when you are reading it, you have the time to really understand it and catch those little things you might have missed. //**
