I am a creative mind

I wonder if everything happens for a reason

I hear what people say without them saying it

I see untapped potential in others

I want the world to be a better place

I am the one people turn to for help

I pretend that I have all of the answers

I feel looked down on because of who I am

I worry I won’t be able to be who I want to be

I cry because people take advantage of me

I am bold and daring

I am Poem: All that Matters

I understand that I am who I am because of the choices I’ve made

I say “ Don’t judge a book by it's cover”

I dream that no one will be judged because of how they act

I try my best to do what I can

I hope that people won't’ look at me as if I were a golden ticket to their success

I am me and that's all that matters

I wrote this poem to describe how I feel when other look at me and and I make sure that I´m not affected by it. I put down what I think this world could be one day if everyone would look deeper than just the surface. When I say ¨ I hear what people say without them saying it¨ I´m using a metaphor because if someone doesn't say anything how can that statement be heard. What I mean by this is if I look at someone and they feel a certain way I can hear what they are really trying to say. In order to fully understand the overall meaning of my poem you just need to have the right mind set and a good heart.

Bio Poem: I Am Me

Tyler

Funny, creative, intelligent, persistent

Friend of Jordan, Nolan, Anthony, and others

Lover of movies, lacrosse, and thrill

Who feels the need for speed, thankful for where he is, and the people he knows

Who needs a break every now and then, goods friends, and lots of laughs

Who gives 100% effort, help when needed and advice

Who fears failing a class, fake people, and fortune tellers

Who would like to see the statue of liberty, Alaska, and a three headed toad

Resident of Santana High School

Ahrensberg

Writing this poem allowed me to tell you a little about myself. Who I really am under my skin, being the best person I can be. I use alliteration in " Who fears failing a class, fake people, and fortune tellers" to bring more life into the setting. The poem is easy to follow giving you information on me and who I am.

I Am Me Response

In my recreation poem I am describing the events of my night playing my favorite sport, lacrosse. In these moments I am ready for an opening face-off, then while having the ball I make a break between two players for a quick shot on the goal and the ball hitting the net. I use a simile in " My heart beating like a drum" to tell how I am feeling for the game to start being nervous and excited. Also onomatopoeia in the words " a buzz of lights" showing how quiet the field is before the start of a game. I tried to get a feel of excitement across with the same as how I feel in that time.

A Night to Remember Response

Re-Creation Poem: A Night To Remember

T’was a dark night

The crowd cheered for the start

Turf crunched beneath my cleats

I was led on the field

My heart beating like a drum

Smiling from ear to ear

I lifted my stick to get set

Everything went quiet

All that could be heard a buzz of lights

The whistle blew, players jumped up running

Breathing hard as I slipped through a narrow path

With a quick move the net folded

Definitely a night to remember

Stylistic Imitation Poem: Cold Texas Marshal

At high noon

The orange glow of the sun

At high noon

A figure in the distance

At high noon

The streets cleared like cockroaches in light

At high noon

Another figure appears

At high noon

A lone hawk cries rattling the windows

At high noon

Clank, clack went the spurs

At high noon

A ghost town ahead

At high noon

Glaring into each others eyes

At high noon

Both wait for the other to make a move

At high noon

A tumbleweed trolls pass the middle

At high noon

Everyone stone cold with no one left standing

Imitation of Federico Garcia Lorca’s style in his poem “Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías

Response: Taking place in the 1800's in a Texas town a showdown is about to take place. These types of events were drastic due to the fact that the ending was good or bad for the towns people in this case neither won. I wrote this to symbolize that when it comes to fighting even though neither wants to make a move when they do both are not in a good place. The simile " The streets cleared like cockroaches in light" this states the fact that not one wants to get caught up in something that will end horrific. All that is needed to know is there are alternative solutions to solving problems not just fighting.

I find that I use the word excitement often when talking about an experience. So using this word I would put many situations in my life to give the example. Nothing means more to me then not giving up due to the fact that when you stop trying someone takes your spot. Excite is my way of putting everything together. Just understand the definition and you will know the feeling yourself.

Blood Rush Response

Definition Poem: Blood Rush

Blood Rush

1. Excite{ik-sahyt}; verb;
2. A rush of energy over thrill; A feeling or emotion;
3. When the desert calls for me;
4. The tension and pull on the end of a line

6. The sweat of what follows the clash of bodies and hard work;
7. Going over the dunes hitting speeds like mach one;

Stepping on the field geared up and ready to fight

And I have to give it my all;

The thought of the final bellow of the bell;

Bring the heat and not giving up;
