I Am Poem: Never Change

I am a believer in god

I wonder how people can be so selfish

I hear little voices in my head putting me down

I see my own less-confident self in my reflection

I want world peace and no world hunger

I am a caring, and loving person

I pretend as if children are not hurting

I feel sorrowful for those who are hurting

I worry about violence

I cry for those who have lost loved ones

I am here for those who need a helping hand

I understand what it takes to be brave

I say to those fighting, keep going strong

I dream of healthy children and people

I try to understand people who dislike me

I hope to see the world change for the better

I am who I am and will never change for anyone

Bio Poem: My Life

Chloe

Beast, fun, caring, energetic

Girlfriend of Nick

Lover of candy, cake, and cleanliness

Who feels passionate about dance, happy after she cleans, and grateful for what she has

Who needs a car, her shaggy scruff back, and hours of paddle boarding

Who gives her care, love, and support to people

Who fears the ocean, losing loved ones, and end of the world

Who would like to see New York, Australia, and Freddie Mercury

Resident of Santee California

Flynn

Re-Creation Poem: Blueberries

As I walked down a narrow aisle

The fog outside the window was like a roaring lion hungry for food

Inside it was cold as ice

Touched by the wind breeze from the vent

Saw the employee smiled as he walked towards me

When asked for help I said no thanks

Pulling the door open to the fruit

I picked Blueberries instead of those Oranges

I got in the prolonged line to pay

As I walked into the used car lot  suddenly breathing heavy I collapsed.

Selected words are from Gary Soto’s poem “Oranges”

Re-creation poem: Blueberries

Response: I wrote my re-creation poem this way because I love blueberries and wanted the audience to get a feeling of how someone can eat a certain food but than get a deathly allergic reaction. The specific poetic devices I used in my poem was personification to set a feeling and have a more enjoyable poem to read. I also used certain words to create a sensitive and strong sounding of those words. There are selected words I used from a poem called Oranges by Gary Soto. I would never want to collapse after eating one of my favorite foods, so I added the collapsing in the parking lot to get a emotional tone in my poem.

Imitation Poem: Tumor

Response: I wrote my imitation poem about a tumor my dog had before he passed away because I wanted my readers to get the emotional feeling I had when I wrote this poem. The specific poetic devices I used in my poem were tone and personification to give the audience a certain tone when reading how my day went and how I was told the news. I also used repetition for the exact time it happened. I also used certain characteristics to intense the soundings of words used in the poem. He had a tumor in his brain that caused him to have many seizures and be super tired all the time. I miss him deeply and will never forget about him.

Imitation Poem: Tumor

At ten thirty-three in the morning.

It was at ten thirty-three in the morning.

That a girl walked in my class with a pink paper

at ten thirty-three in the morning.

My teacher handed me the crisp slip

at ten thirty-three in the morning.

The note came close to my eyes

at ten thirty-three in the morning.

My friend like a nosy cat trying to be pet asked if I was leaving

at ten thirty-three in the morning.

I knew then that something was wrong

at ten thirty-three in the morning.

Running up those steep stairs

at ten thirty-three in the morning.

To meet my dad in the office

at ten thirty-three in the morning.

Saw dad´s face turn troubled

at ten thirty-three in the morning.

As we got in the car I heard one of the worst news never

at ten thirty-three in the morning.

My scruffy was gone.

at ten thirty-three in the morning.

Definition poem: The IV

Worry: [wor-ry], verb, plural worries

Give way to anxiety or unease; allow one’s mind to dwell on troubles

When my vein was playing hide and go seek

As the doctor murmured to the nurse

Crying as I tensed up like a neck muscle

8 times jabbing in my arms

Gave up and rolled me into the bright but cold operation room

Masked up by laughing gas

As the doctor counted down 5,4,3,2,1

Fast asleep like a crying baby whining for hours  

Definition Poem: The IV

Response: I wrote my definition poem this way because it helps the reader focus on the pain I went through during this memory in my brain. I wanted my readers to have a detailed but sensitive poem to read and that was my goal for this poem. I used certain poetic devices like personification to express my feelings and a simile to make the poem more enjoyable and interesting. This poem is based on a true event that happened to me recently when I was getting surgery on my chest wall. It was very painful and hard to go through all the blood tests but the IV was the worst part.

Limerick Poem: Unfortunate but funny

Response: I wrote my limerick poem this way because it presents certain words that I love like ¨candy¨ and my sister named ¨Sandy¨. My sister´s name is not actually sandy but I thought it would be a good way to use in my rhyming. The poetic devices I chose to use was end rhyme for the words at the end of each sentence. I wanted to use the last sentence as a surprising and action part of my poem. I do have a friend named Randy but I do not think he would ever slap me for any reason but it was a good rhyming name to use in my poem.
