Jacob Sutton 808

 

           I wrote this poem because of what poetry means to me.  I love poetry!  Poetry is a vehicle that enables me to express all that inspires me. As a singer, I often think about how poetry can be  like a song.  Singing is what inspires me to write poetry.  I then think of a sufficient rhythm and beat for the poem like as I would for a song.  This is how I write all of my poetry.  This poem reflects my intimate connection with poetry, and what it means to me.         

Poems are like magic.

Your thoughts flow freely,

Like the water of a calm ocean


Or that of an angry sea.

Rhythm and style

Connect to paint a picture.

Emotions and thoughts,

Flooding your mind

Like waves that hit

Tiny,

Little shells.

Poems can be elating,

Gloomy,

Scary

Or infuriating.

But whether you think it or not,

Poems are all
 
Magical.

  1. I liked how you described how poems are, because they didn't used to sound special to me before and now it sounds "magical" to me now. Overall I think you expressed your emotions of what you feel about poems well.

  2. I liked how your poem really portrayed all of the feelings that you were describing. I also liked how your organized your poem visually. I also thought you used really descriptive language.
