Poetry reflection

             Picture this. A teacher sits at her desk and says, "Okay class today we will start poetry." "RUUUUUUN" scream the kids and then the classroom is empty. That was what it felt like when we were going to do poetry a long time ago.

             To tell you the truth I like poetry because you can express your feelings and tell your childhood like a story. Also poetry is a chance to put you feelings on the paper if you are angry write a poem about anger, if you are happy write a poem about happiness. When I was hyper I wrote a poem about being hyper. I went from disliking it to being fine with it. Just like in the book love that dog. The main character Jack hated poetry but now he loves it as much as anything.


            I used to not like poetry because I didn't understand the poetry tools. You need to use rhymes, alliteration, onomatopeia. But now that I learned to use the different tools my writing became more easy and I learned to use more imagery. For example in my poem about atrocious I used lots of poetry tools. The one that I used most was imagery. The poem was so gruesome that everyone lost their appetite.

            In my poems I like to express myself and tell people about me (girl reference: like Instagram on paper). Writing it is fun because you can you can write a whole bunch in one time for example I wrote a poem about beans. It is very short but very funny.

            Finally something I learned because of poetry is pipes., PIPES stands for Projection, inflection, pacing, eye contact, and stance. That is the way you present your poems.
If you just say it with one emotion then it will sound boring you want to keep the reader interested.


       my writing went from:

Roses are Red, Violets are blue,

Poems are annoying and so are you

to this:

Wearing a blue hat turned around to the back

not calm rather having a seizure

He was like a cheetah chasing it own tail 

like a blur from afar

Hyper bolts up in a test and runs around the room
