My final thoughts of poetry: I still love poetry and I always will. I am sad to end this topic because i like poetry so much. I will continue writing poems at home and one day I will make a poem book myself. I really enjoy learning about poetry of all different styles there are. I wish this topic would go on and on and on and on and on and on. I LOVE POETRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I LOVE POETRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 How I feel about Poetry:  I like poetry very much because I like the fact that we can make up our own poem.  Also it can describe how you feel or you can describe what you want to say and that technique I like the most about poetry.  I like it also because it's fun to do with your friends, like in a pair or in a group.  You use poetry when you have to do anything with writing, reading and talking. but you don't know that you are doing that when you write, read or talk  I also like turning stories into poems but it's quite tricky. Just like a hard puzzle to solve.  I really enjoy reading other children poems because i want to read what they have come up with they creative imagination. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> There are many different types of poems and my favorite type is a poem that are very imaginative and also some that rhymes. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> I also enjoy making a poem that makes no sense.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> How I feel about Poetry: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> It's still the same as above. I LOVE POETRY!!!!!! <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> And I like all sorts of poems :D

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">My comments about the poem 'Limbo' By Edward Kamau Brathwaite: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I read this poem and I don't like it because I don't really get the poem but also because for me it doesn't make any sense. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">And this poem contains slavery and I don't like that too. Maybe I don't really get the meaning of this poem and that can cause <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">the problem that I don't like this. This poem doesn't take my interest I must say.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">People should like poetry <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Over everything and all <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Every sentence we read <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Thinks we must call <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Ready to get the stuff we need <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> You and I could fall <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> For poetry

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Farm Onomatopoeia poem

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The farm has many sounds <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> That will go all around <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> With the pigs oinking <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> And the hens Kokelkooing

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> The cows mooing <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> And the bees zooming <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> With that sweet scent <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Of the farm flower

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> The horses galloping in the meadow <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> With their little fellow <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Sheep’s do their little meheheheh <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> With that thick fur that covers their skin

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> The dog barking <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> For the goats to buck <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> And the fish swims in the pond <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> They make a pop sound

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> The kitten hides <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> With her fright meow <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> The flying birds go cheap cheap <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> The rabbit chews on his carrot <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> With a sound that crunches

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> That were all the farm sounds we could hear

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">My own made poem (Home Work) 19.01.11

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Blossom tree
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">media type="file" key="Blossom tree.mov" width="300" height="300" || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This poem inspired me because it’s about a blossom tree that is planted right in the moonlight and it so quiet and relaxing. Blossom trees are my favorite plants and that’s why I decided to make a poem about a blossom tree. This poem reminds me of my blossom trees in my garden. I used to smell the scent of the blossom but suddenly after a hard storm the blossoms were gone and never grew back. ||

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Moonlight shines at the blossom tree <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">With that beautiful sparkle that hides beneath <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Every firefly feels free, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Under the blossom tree <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I could feel the wind in my hair <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">With that blossom scent the flies within <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Gone is the feeling of despair <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Sitting here in this dark scene.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Silver Ghost <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">When a silver ghost float's, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> You know it's a dream.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">media type="file" key="Silver Ghost.mov" width="300" height="300" || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This poem inspired me because it’s imaginary and it just has a simple ending and it just goes BOOM like is a good way. This poem reminds me of a dream that I had when I was young. I was scared to death at first but then my mom came and said when you see something like that you just know it’s a dream. ||

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Down and Up the Stairs <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> But I think it just has a random meaning to it. this poem reminds me of a time that i fell down the stairs with my books but this time when I opened my eyes is was at the bottom of the stairs! ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">media type="file" key="Up and dwon the starirs.mov" width="300" height="300" || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This poem inspired me because It’s very imaginary and it just makes you confused.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> When I walked down the stairs, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> I suddenly fell but then I went falling up the stairs. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> And when I opened my eyes, I was on top of the stairs again!

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> This is my poem reflection

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> I find poetry my favorite subject and I would love to have poetry all year long. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> But I suppose that we need to move on. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> At first before we were doing poetry I thought 'well I suppose it's ok but I think it's gonna be boring. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> But now after I have made several poems of myself and learned about poetry I changed my mind. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Now I say 'I LOVE POETRY, MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!' <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> When I make a poem, I get a feeling that I can accomplish anything. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> I also feel when I write a poem is that I glow and sparkle inside of me and I just feel that I want to write more and more and more. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> It just feels like I am going on a journey that never ends. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> It just keeps on going and going.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">That's how I feel about poetry!

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This is just for extra credit <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Here are all the poems I made in Dutch when I was young.
