Poetry Reflection - James F.

          Poetry is very important in my life. Poetry is important to me because it gives me the opportunity to show what is going on in my life. Poetry is also important because it helps put your thoughts in words. Poetry is also important to me because it has helped me learn new thing like onomatopoeia and other figurative language that I never knew before. Poetry is also important to me because it helps me develop my writing and reading skills whenever I write poems or read other poem. All in all, poetry is important in my life because it helps me develop in many ways.

          Poetry belongs to everyone. Poetry belongs to everyone because it is a way to write down how your day was going and everyone has bad days and good days. Poetry also belongs to everyone because like many of my teachers say, "There is always room to improve." And poetry really helps anyone improve in their language arts and reading skills through writing poems which causes someone to learn figurative language so they can use it in their poem correctly. Poetry also belongs to everyone because when you analyze poems you get better at reading which also helps you improve. Overall, poetry belongs to every one because it helps you improve academically and it also helps you write down how your day was going.

          Your life and a every single one of your life experiences really affects the poem that the you create. Your life and life experiences affect your poem because if you are having a bad day your poem will be a little dark or more sad. Your life and life experiences also affect your poem because if you are having the best day ever and everything is going your way your poem will be more happy or even humorous. Your life and life experiences also affect your poem because if your whole life in general is not very uplifting your poems will be less happy and maybe even have an even mix of both good and bad in your poems. Your life and life experiences also affect your poem because if your whole life in general is very fun and everyday is just to fun to describe then your poems with most likely talk about the fun times you have or relate to the fun times that you had. At the end, your life and a every single one of your life experiences really affects the poem that the you create.

Nonsense Poem - "Faucet"

"After Dark" - Found Poem

 By: James F.

            My found poem has many characteristics. The theme of my poem, "After Dark" is that after dinner it gets dark and it is time to go to bed. The meaning of my poem is that "After dinner" there is darkness and it is time for bed and everyone wants just a "thin moonlight" "at the end of the table." The message of my poem is that "After Dark" that darkness will come and then if you don't go to bed you  will of course want "Thin moonlight at the end of the table." The reason I colored my poem dark with a few stars is because my poem is about how it is dark "After dinner."

"Be Positive" - Spine Poem

By: James F.

          My spine poem has many characteristics. The theme of my spine poem is to "Be Positive." The main point of my spine poem was to show people to "Start Something That Matters" and "Never Say Die" because that is negative. The message of my poem is to take "Small Steps." You would take "Small Steps" in order to become a more positive person by having "a little faith" in your self to become a more positive person if you are a pretty negative person right now. My poem was intended to tell people that you can always become a more positive person in life.

Two Voice Poem

The Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning (Book 1)

By: James F.

Pages: 1-103

Count Olaf (Antagonist)

Violet (Oldest of the Baudelaire orphans)

I have heard many things about the Baudelaire's

one being that they are out of a home

another one being they are filthy rich

maybe if I am quick enough I will be their guardian

hopefully I am in time to take them into my possession

Oh why, oh why did my parents perish

my parents were so wealthy and intelligent
who will take care of us now

that my parents perished in the fire

I am so worried.

I am a peasant

and all I want is to be wealthy

so give me your fortune or else

I am wealthy

and I want you to leave me alone

your not even my relative

so stop following me

I am so upset!

I will fake marriage with you

so I can have your fortune by law

You are a cruel monster

leave me alone that's all I ask of you

Never!

Why can't you cooperate with me

and give me your fortune

Why can't you jut leave me
so I can live a better life

Why should I?

Why don't you respect me
I never did a single thing
I even gave you beds to sleep in

You claim to have done nothing

when really you are a demon

you held my baby sister way up high

then you threatened her

and all she could say is "Ah!

and on top of that you only give us one bed

so don't lie

I hate you!

How dare you talk back to me

I am your guardian

go make supper for me and ten others

and since your so rich make it yourself

and by the way make it quick

I hate Count Olaf

we should not be treated this way

if anything he should be nice to us

after all we are rich and smart

You have it all wrong!
