The article is about how one can become a better runner. Unlike the song, it doesn't make you want to jump out of your seat and go for a run, but it makes you think of a strategy that will help you to reach your goal of becoming a better runner.

In a poem, it creates a different thought environment about the act of running. It makes you feel the writer's love of running instead of the idea of it.

Writing Metaphors

To me writing is a way to create an escape from the world we live in. With words one can create a whole new world with new whole new worlds and universes. In the world of writing one can be whoever, do whatever, and make anything happen. In the world that is created by words, imagination roams free. People can put ideas into a language that everyone can understand and share. Not only writing down ideas or inventions, but writing down the ideas of whole new worlds. Worlds inside worlds, and words inside words. An endless dance of letters creating all new combinations. With only 26 letters people can create endless amounts of words, and then combining those words into sentences doubles the endless possibilities of combinations. So writing is a creation rivaled only by the cosmos that created us.
