I am Poem

I am a believer in animal rights

I wonder why anyone could be anything but tender with animals

I hear the stories on the news and it rips me to pieces

I see the cruelty everywhere these days

I want an end to animal cruelty

I am an advocate for change

I pretend it doesn’t bother me

I feel disgusted with these abusers

I worry this issue will never get better

I cry for animals who have been beaten, abandoned, or starved

I am appalled by someone having the ability to hurt/kill innocents

I understand there are no excuses for abuse

I say enough is enough

I dream one day no animal would have to suffer from abuse

I try to have my voice heard

I hope one day the pounds are empty

I am standing up for what’s right!

Bio Poem

Alyssa

Motivated, loyal, cheerful, proud

Student of Ms. Bachmann

Lover of coffee, fuzzy blankets, and music

Who feels elated when she gets her homework done, exhausted after school, and thankful for family

Who needs more time in the day, less homework and morenaps

Who gives compassion, comfort and care to her friends

Who fears worms, veins, and losing family

Who would like to see Kane Brown, Bora Bora, and New York

Resident of San Diego, California

I am poem: My response

I wrote the poem the way I did was because I have very strong feelings toward animal abuse. Seeing animal abusing hits me harder than anything else in society today. Ever since I was little I have always had a care and passion for animals. I've always wanted to help them in any way I could. In the first poetic device I used was hyperbole because this topic this is very important to me so I felt the need to exaggerate on this line of the poem .

Bio Poem: My response

I wrote the poem the way I did was because this is the way I see myself. I see myself as confident and caring. In the first poetic device I used was Alliteration when describing how I treat my friends. I always treat my friends with the three C's, Compassion, care, and comfort. This poem does a really good job of describing my personality and my likes/dislikes.

Recreation Poem: Horrified Students

The gray December day

That was thought to be like every other

The first shot was released

Just around the corner from 1st period

Shots hissing through the door

Terrified students shielded by tiered desks

My classmates, before me, then gone

He took them from me

I  looked up and all I could do,

Was ask why

Select words are from Gary Soto's poem "Oranges"

Stylistic Imitation Poem

At 2:49 in the afternoon

It was at 2:49 in the afternoon

12 seconds and 210 yards

At 2:49 in the afternoon

Two homemade bombs near the finish line

At 2:49 in the afternoon

Runners running from death and death alone

At 2:49 in the afternoon

Wind carrying ash and smoke throughout

At 2:49 in the afternoon

Bodies draped on the railing and ground like curtains

At 2:49 in the afternoon

Leaving three casualties

At 2:49 in the afternoon

A gruesome scene of bloodshed, destruction and chaos.

At 2:49 in the afternoon

16 amputations and many more hearts broken At 2:49 in the afternoon

A community grieving and family members devastated

At 2:49 in the afternoon

Recreation Poem: My response

The setting of this recreation poem is inside a school during a school shooting. I wrote the poem the way I did was because there are so many school shootings happening in today's society that it hard to feel safe coming to school everyday. This is something that gets to me since this could easily happen any day at Santana and that's an incredibly scary thought. In the first poetic device, I used personification to describe the sound of bullets. In the second poetic device, I used alliteration to set the scene of a grey day with a grey and dark outcome.

Lorca Stylistic Imitation poem: My Response

In this poem the setting is the Boston Marathon bombing. This event happened at 2:49 in the afternoon and I used the poetic device of repetition to address how much impact this time had on everyone in the U.S but more importantly the runners in the marathon. I wrote the poem the way I did was because this was a very bad day in our history that we should remember forever for the victims we lost that day. The next poetic device I used was alliteration for the runners that were running in the marathon who were the victims. This is a very serious poem and was very emotional to write.

Definition poem

Comfort: [kmfrt] , noun, plural comforts,

When my fuzzy blanket hugs me on a chilly day;

Feeling my mom’s warm embrace;

Knowing I have all my homework done;

A home cooked meal;

Taking a nap after a day at school that lasted forever;

The sound of crashing waves, the smell of the sea;

Drinking hot tea with a sore throat;

Going to sleep knowing you don’t have to set an alarm;

Leaving for vacation, coming home from vacation.

Limerick Poem

There once was a farmer from Maine,

Whose cow was in terrible pain,

He went to the vet,

To care for his pain,

But then got caught in the rain

Definition Poem: My response

My definition poem is about the things I find comfort in with life. My main comforts are being with my mom, getting my homework done, etc. It's the little things in life that I find comfort in. I wrote the poem the way I did was because I find my life very comfortable so I wanted to share some of those things that make it worth living. The first poetic device I used was personification of my fuzzy blanket. Anyone who knows me knows that I cannot sleep with any other blanket than my fuzzy blanket. Its the most comfortable blanket ever, don't even try to argue with me on that. The second poetic device I used was hyperbole about my school days, that last way too long.

Limerick poem: My Response

My limerick poem is about a farm and a farmer. There's not much to say about it other than a farmer trying to help his animal. I used end rhyme on this poem to make it flow really nicely. This poem is a very weird and random poem.
