I did see it when it came out when I was in high school! I've always thought the poem was...fine. It sounds like a poem a high schooler would write! I do agree that they should have very clearly had only 10 things, that's always bugged me a bit. Or hey, it's a sonnet, it could have been 14 Things I Hate About You 😂
It holds up well as a poem. I prefer the first line breakage. Why!? I just do. If I was in that class I would probably see it as cringe… how age changes perspective right?
I have actually never even thought about the fact that the poem lists more than 10 things lol. Did not even occur to me to count them! I do love the poem, though, as being something that it really feels like a high schooler (albeit obviously a very intelligent and thoughtful one) could write. Like, it's a good poem! But it feels like what you'd write in your diary at the same time. idk this whole movie is iconic
