A paraphrasing of “The Guitar”.

My teacher required that we paraphrase (Read: Ruin) a poem. I recommend the original, ’tis much better.

Some guy is playing a guitar

At the break of dawn

It’s impossible to shut it out

Loud

Lonely

A single, monotonous note

The man misses his home

The desert sand

White flowers

He laments his lack of purpose

The evening without end

And dead sparrows in trees

He laments these five things.
