Been a while, I might be rusty

Well, I used to come here to write a lot, but I kinda stopped and want to give it a shot again. Give me your best.

Ode to the Grafitti

As I walk the cobbled way
With hopes and dreams of yesterday
I see on the wall beside me
The gun toting Statue of Liberty

Spray painted on a wall
Sitting silent in this cobbled hall
Asking me for a moment
To think of this nation's components

Back in my room I lay in bed
Thinking of what I had seen and read
Wondering if I'm the only one
Who isn't sure about what we have done

But finally I fall asleep
With a beautiful girl we lay in a heap
Then we keep going every day
Whether we are right or wrong in our way

(That's based off of actual graffiti in Iowa City by the way. They used to be all over the place.)

Ode to Insomniacs

It's sunny outside while I'm fast asleep
Too busy for friends, I'm counting sheep
I was up too late last Friday night
Now I'm paying for it by losing daylight
How I wish I could stay in bed
Sadly, if I do my limbs would go dead
Then I couldn't type words
As light as the birds
And I might catch pneumonia and die

(Okay, I'm a little tired and gave up at the end)

regarding Ode to Grafitti:
i think this was pretty good. i find it interesting that you decided to use a AABB rhyme scheme. it lends the whole poem an air of juvenility that seems a bit odd, if not wholly misplaced with such subject matter as introspection and national guilt. furthermore, the last stanza seems rather disconnected from the rest of the poem. i also have a question. is the title meant to be sarcastic? i mean, at first, it seems the speaker is affected in some way by the grafitti, so an ode to the image would make sense. the last stanza, however, proves the grafitti made no lasting impression on the speaker whatsoever. so why an ode?

overall: interesting choice of subject matter. fairly well executed.
