Metacognition: Poem

First draft: I had no idea what to write about, so I chose a 78% random topic, just like how I chose a 78% random percentage just now. Then I started writing. As I was writing, I was thinking to myself "Hmm.. this reminds me of a place for people to drown themselves in their own misery (and drink)". So I shifted the focus of the poem slightly to try to depict that. I was thinking about how to put some of the poetic elements in the poem as well, so that it would fit the criteria.

Second draft: I had no clue what I was supposed to be doing, so I added some lines on to try to make the implications in my poem more obvious.

Third draft: I rewrote the entire thing making everything concrete.
