Imagery in Poetry Blog Post Paragraph

I was in Carlsbad, California where me and my teamates had a football championship game. I seen a large crowd near are sidelines and less on the home side. I heard cheering from the crowd along with the cheerleaders. I felt a tingle in my body knowing we were getting closer to victory. I knelt down and put my right hand on the ground, rushed the quarter back and got a sack. The crowd was very loud. Then sure enough the buzzer went off and we were champions. I felt a sensation for this victory, happy that I could say me and my teamates won something that we earned for the first time as a family!

Poetry Previous Knowledge Paragraph

I would rather read a poem then having to read a story. Poem's are shorter for one, also reading a story would make me want to give up. Reading a poem is understanding and is nice to think about what it ment. Even when I was in grade school I enjoyed reading these because the way they were formated. Depending on the author they write in certain ways that make it unique, story's can leave a big blank in your head afterwards. I think anyone would want to read something shorter with a lot of meaning then having to read two-hundred pages.

Inspirational Rhyming Poem

The football was nice and brown

The quarter back 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 it would be fine.

The ball was hiked and he started to run.

He didn't see the linebacker come.

He turned the corner and then got cracked.

Turnover on downs and the ball went back.

So long for the game, the team was wack.

They said next time they will be back.

"Folding Won Tons In"

One food that I have made from memory is an omlette. I thought the omlette would be a great experience to do to cook something for the first time and I accomplished that. The thing that wanted me to make it was that I was looking in a cook book, decided I just wanted to make one. The five senses of my food was that it was yellow, smelt like a lot of different spices, touched the crunchy edges as if it was the edges of a volcano, I heard the sizzle of the insides, tasted the many varities that I selected to put into the omlette. I learned how to make the food because I followed directions and I knew it would taste great.

Woman Work Parapraph

It's not that she doesn't like doing them, the problem is she has a lot of chores to do on a regular basis that really stresses her out. I only have one chore and that is to clean the sink thoroughly so it looks good. If I had more than one chore like she did I would not do my chores because just one chore stresses me out. The only chore that I use to have that I actually did like nothing, was vacuuming. She's trying to tell me one thing about how much work the chores are then gives a lot of detail and structure about the nature around.

"Fog, Fire and Ice" Paragraph

  The animal in the poem "fog" is a cat, the animal is slowly soothing its way over the very tall buildings. I think the author chose this animal because it relates to the way the fog is moving in a way a cat does. I would of chosen a different animal because I think there is other animals that can have similar things that relate to how the fog was moving. For instance I would choose a lion because they prance, creep through thin brushes, and sneak around objects. It is kind of like a cat but just way bigger.

   I believe the world is going to end when a whole bunch of scientist get together and there sure something bad like 2012 would really happen. The world is going to end either on judgment day when god decides its time or some type of disaster like 2012 that is supposedly suppose to happen. What I think is going to happen is god will decide for himself when its time for all the good to go to heaven with him. I am not exactly sure when it is going to happen but I know it's not anytime soon. I think I will be driving on the freeway when I will be lifted out of my lamborghini into the gates of heaven!

"Country Scene" Paragraph

His feelings are that love never lasts, poetry will always be alive to him. He see's it as something that will never pass up till something happens to him. He is trying to tell me that the mood in the "Country Scene"is very misty and has a lot of detail besides just water falling. The mood set is for the reader to think, at the end was something to think of. Based on what the author wrote, he is trying to show the true meaning of the title, also to figure out why love isn't always their but poetry is.

Imagery in a Song

I'm doing Barney's song by Barney, it is meaningful to me because It is saying were a big family. Also it is meaningful to me by it saying In the song how he loves people then they love him back.

“A Blessing” Break into Blossom Paragraph

It was three or four years ago and I was at my grandpa's house, coming to get a puppy that he was going to give me before I moved in with my other grandparents. What happen was he had two left, one was very light in color the other was darker. I seen the teeth of the animal when it approached me with his aggressiveness. I heard the sneezing of the sick puppy. I then touched his ear, it was smooth. I felt excited to bring something home with me.

Paragraph to Persuade You to Read My Poem

The name of my poems are "The Base Stealer" by Robert Francis and "American Hero" by Essex Hemphill. Someone should read my poem that I picked because the reader should understand what the poem is about so they can learn more things about poetry. Then someone else may not want to read the poem just because they don't like poetry but they still should to see if they will end up enjoying what they read.They could also read it and see what the true meaning is of the poem. The best part of "The Base Stealer" is how the author is telling you all the detail the runner is doing to steal the base, the words used are mind thrilling in my opinion. In "American Hero" the best part is when it says, "It’s a shimmering club light and I’m dancing, slick in my sweat." He was inferring to how much he moved around when he played and how much he was shining out on the court.

Secret Place Poem

I see trees filled with bright orange objects with temptation also many clouds above me,
I smell bushes that have a nice scent to them,
I taste a tangy and tiny fruit with sparkling flakes,
I hear chirping above the field of hope,
I feel a sharp thick object below me.
