POETRY RESPONSE 1

Some poets make stanzas to break off.
They want to be organized and have fun with it.
They want to emphasize there points and when they are ready to break or pause.

Understandable

Elle,
Is understandable
the way many things work
when you think
about it.

But things
become spaced out at times
if you don't
think .

You have,
to be understandable for people
to want to have the NEED
to understand you.

AND THATS UNDERSTANDABLE.

Elle's view on poetry 1

So far all my life I have loved poetry. I grew in to it more and much more when I discovered my ela teacher Ms.Johns. I have always loved to write poetry to express my feelings. in which no one would under stand. When it came to the point were I was really good at I started taking data of it and writing it in note books. Poetry can do and mean so many things. Especially when it comes to feelings. And that Elle's view on poetry.!!!

MY OPINION

The thing about blogging is that you share what you read, what you have read or what you 've heard someone read. You can infer many things . Tell hat the charector is feeling. I think that bogging is a way to communicate your ideas or many other thing and etc.

My teacher, when it comes to blogging she is really strict because she grades them as if they are book reports. I want to pass so I just do it even when she nags me in advisory. More over any one ca blog about any thing they want to.

I would say if you have an idea or any thing positive you are able to write so that other people like Mr. levy can view. "GO MR. LEVY".

Paint me like I am

Paint me like I am
I am beautiful
so paint me like I am
I am the one with that special
tiny dimple that brings out
my face.
Paint like I am
and do it the right way.
DO NOT TRY TO vilelate
MY PASSION FOR Fashion.
So if I ask you to paint me like I am
you should not ry to be so
disrespectful and paint me like
I'm not.



Poem to the president

"Change"


Yes we can,"change"
Yes we have,"changed"
and yes we will continue to "change"

Because,
Rosa sat so
Martin could walk,
Martin walked so Obama could run,
Obama ran so us children can fly.


Yes we can,"change"
Yes we have,"changed"
and yes we will continue to "change"

I have a dream that an african american president will appear
he will share and care

And I, will not stand up and give up my seat or my rights to nobody
no matter if you are back or white,

And at last , yes we can strive
with no child left behind.

Inaugural poem response 1

Praise song for the day
Elizabeth Alexander

I think the title "Praise Song for the Day" means that change could be good or bad because it's almost like a flashback to me when we think of the slaves and all the black leaders who helped change our world we give thanks to them. For example, she quotes "
Say it plain: that many have died for this day.
Sing the names of the dead who brought us here". I think she says this to make us visualize all the things they have done to keep the racism out of our world. Moreover to keep us all equal.
