Poetry

 

Writer's Block

Author's Note: I was looking through my writing section in onenote when I stumbled across this short "poem" I wrote when I couldn't think of anything else. I decided to fix a few lines and post it for the sake of getting it out there. 

Writer's block

Will make you stop

You can't control

But truth be told

You might be able to work

Get over your quirk

Get help from a friend

Don't make it come to an end

Because inspiration can come

Maybe out of something "dumb"

But it's better than quitting

And it's better than sitting

And doing nothing instead.

Author's note: After experiencing this snowless christmas, I realized that I needed to express my feeling towards a non- white christmas. I chose to do a free verse poem to add to my poem page.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas

That’s what they say

Kids looking outside everyday

Hoping to see a trace of snow

So that you see their faces all aglow

But this year is different

This Christmas was green

Not how this holiday is supposed to be

We still had the cookies

The presents, the tree

But Christmas morning was not as magical as it used to be.

Author's note: The next poem I decided to do was a diamante. It's a poem that ends up looking like a diamond because of the following rules;

 1st line- noun or subject; one word

2nd line- 2 adjectives that describe line 1.

3rd line- 3 "ing" words that describe line 1.

4th line- 4 nouns (1st 2 describe line 1, 2nd 2 describe line 7)

5th line- 3 "ing" words that describe line 7.

6th line- 2 adjectives that describe line 7.

7th line- noun synonym for line 1.

Crashing, Swirling, Frightening

Author's note: I decided I should try and write several different kinds of poetry. I've done a haiku, and now I'm going to do an acrostic poem. An acrostic poem is where you take a word and describe it using only adjectives that start with letters in the word. Tell me what you think.

Authors note: I created this page so I would start writing more poetry. For my first piece I decided to do a haiku, which consists of seventeen syllables. 5 in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third.

Rainbows

Tales on pot of gold.

The end of a rainy day.

Beautiful colors.
