Poetry Previous Knowledge Paragraph

I would rather read a poem instead of a story because a poem can tell a whole story in just a few lines that rhyme, and a book takes pages to tell how a character feels, and where the story is unlike a poem.  Another reason is because a poem is a another form of writing a story but with more rhyming and finesse put into it.  One last reason I would read a poem instead of a story is because a poem is something a poet wrote out of plane feeling instead of choosing their topic.  The poems people write is about what they feel at the moment and what they think.

Inspirational Rhyming Poem

The football was nice and brown.

The quarterback would pass it around

 The corner went up, and got mossed.

 The wide receiver said I’m the boss.

The ball was at the one yard line.

The running back thought he would be fine.

The ball was hiked and he started to run.

He didn’t see the line backer come.

He turned the corner but then he got cracked.

Turnover on downs and the ball went back.

So long game the team was whack.

They said next time they will be back.

"Folding Wantons" Paragraph

One food I have made from memory is eggs, and grilled cheese. Learning how to cook these foods is really easy for eggs all you have to do is put a pan on the stove, put butter in the pan, crack the egg in the pan, and wait till the eggs are done. For grilled cheese all you have to do is put a pan on the stove, put a slice of cheese in the middle of two slices of bread, put some butter in the pan, and put the sandwich in the pan and there you go. Honestly my grandma made me cook these foods because she was the one who thought me how to cook.  The way I learned how to cook was from my grandma it special to me that my grandma thought me how to cook because at the time my grandma was the only one there in my life and she was the only person that cared for me. It’s also special to me because its one memory I have of her.

Memorable Valentine's Day

One of my Valentine’s Day memories was when I was in the fourth grade and everybody in my class had to bring in a Valentine’s Day gift for the whole class. So the day before valentines I asked my mom if she can take me to go get my whole class a gift, so when we were at the store we were walking down the candy section and my mom pulled out a random bag of candy  and threw it in the cart and walked to the cash register. When we got home I helped my mom carry the groceries into our house, anxious to see what kind of candy my mom picked out I started digging through the bags as soon as I found the bag of candy it was a bag full of Care Bear gummy candies. So the next day I had to go to school with a bag of care bears to give my whole class which everybody in my class was giving out heart shaped suckers and nerds . so that is one of my valentine’s day memories

Woman Work Parapraph

In the story the author is trying to tell you that she does because she has to but most of the time she does them because she likes being around nature. She is trying to say that because at the end of the poem the author starts to talk a lot about nature and how she wants the wind to blow her away till she rests that night. Some chores I do around my house is clean my room, clean my dishes and vacuum the house. Sometimes I like doing my chores because over the weekend I can go somewhere like the movies, but I also like doing my chores because I like seeing my own house clean. From what I read it sounds like the author didn’t like doing her chores. It looks like the author didn’t like doing her chores because she had a lot of things to do before she can rest and she is trying to tell you that even though she has a lot of chores the joy she gets out of it is being with nature.

"Fog, Fire and Ice" Paragraph

The animal in the poem “Fog” is a cat. I think the author chose this animal because fog creeps up on people like a cat does. I would have chosen this animal because the fog creeps up on people because it comes in the morning and a little cat sneaks up on their owner in the morning to wake them up or when they want to play. I would choose a cat even thought the narrator used one already. I would choose a cat because cats are very sneaky and they can pop out of nowhere and surprise you or their owner.




The world is going to end in fire. The world is going to end in fire because when I used to read the bible it would say that god will burn the world but save all the people that have been good and never committed a sin and if the world would end in ice it would have said it in the bible.. I think nothing is going to happen. If the world will come to an end it would most likely happen in 2012. When the world comes to an end I will be either in the NBA or NFL dunking on people or scoring touchdowns.

"Country Scene" Paragraph

His feelings are that he can love someone but it never lasts and when it comes to poetry it lasts forever. He takes poetry as something he loves until he moves on. He is trying to tell me that the mood in the "Country Scene “is very foggy and has a bunch of details not just the falling water. The mood set is for the reader to think that the end is something to think about. Based on the narrator, he is trying to show the real meaning of the title, trying to figure out why love can’t always last but poetry can

“A Blessing” Break into Blossom Paragraph

 One time when I felt like I was going to break into a blossom was when I hear I was going to have a little brother and little sister. When I hear I was going to have younger siblings I was six years old and I was living in Los Angeles with my dad. I was sitting down in the living room on the couch eating a bowl of cereal and watching cartoons when my dad came into the house after answering the phone and told my older brother and me that we are going to have a little brother and sister. I saw my dad with the phone in his hand with a big smile on his face and my brother happy and smiling with my dad. I heard my dad and brother talking about what we are going to name our brother and sister. I was touching my cereal bowl and my TV remote. I felt happy because I have four older siblings and now I have two younger siblings. The experience changed me because I was use to being the youngest and now that I have younger siblings I can play and have fun with them like my older brothers and sisters did with me

Paragraph to Persuade You to Read My Poem

The name of my poems are “The American Hero, and "The Base Stealer”. The author of “The American Hero” is Essex Hemphill and the author of “The Base Stealer” is Robert Francis. Someone should read my poem because both poems are about taking risks and sacrifices. One reason someone should read this poem because in life there are always losers and not everybody wins. In “The Base Stealer” the character takes the risk of stealing home plate to win the game for his team. Some people might not want to read this poem because they are too cocky and nobody is better then them. But that’s why they should read these poems because they should know that in life some people will win some and some people will lose some. The best part of the Poems are the ending because in both poems the character ends up taking a risk or sacrifice and ends up winning the game for their team.

Poetry Experience Paragraph

I know that in poetry that some poems rhyme, and some don’t. In the past I studied poetry because I hade to write some poems as an assignment, and sometimes I had to read about how poems are written and how some poems are understood. on my spear time I read some poems because I either have nothing to do or I nothing to read but when I do read some poems I actually get into reading them because some can catch you attention by the way they are written or just by the way it is understood because some poems that are writer are out of love or frustration.During this unit about poetry I hope to learn how to understand poems more and to figure out what the poet was writing about and what mood was the poet was in when he/she wrote the poem.
