Reflection

I really liked the poetry, and some of my favorite poems that I wrote was the haiku, and many of the other poems like the acrostic one I wrote about K-State. I really like to write poems that just rhyme and kind of follow some sort of a pattern. I also liked writing the poetry, it makes me feel good and proud of myself. The basic thing that my web portfolio says about me is what I like. I like pie, and I like Kansas State, Kansas City, and dogs. All of these poems are pretty much about what I like and enjoy to do like playing football, or staying warm in a cold, cold winter. I never knew how many types of poetry there were until this unit. I have never heard of the dorsimbra, and I never knew that there was a free verse, where its like writing a three stanza essay over something you like or care about.-152

Winter(Dorsimbra)

I like when the leaves change red

And the weather starts to get chilly

Its nice and gets me out of bed

Dancing in the snow makes me feel silly

How fun it is to frolic in snow

and to make many snowmen and snow angels

And young children running about

It makes me happy and warm inside

And now that you know

How much I like snow

And the holidays

With many days yet

Green(Bingo Extra)

The color of green

Is the best I've ever seen

When I'm down I look to you

You are green and won't make me blue

How happy I am to see

It's the official color of me

How someone doesn't like you

Now that does make me blue
And that makes me sad
Its not your fault, they make me mad.

Pie(Sensory)

The taste of warm fruit smothering your tongue

As the smell of fruit fills the air

It looks as golden as a ring just purchased

A warm sensation and a sticky mess

the sound of a ding of the oven timer

Has crowds rush to the pie!

Float(Art Response)

Have you ever wondered to live off the ground

The feeling of floating

Can make people frown

What the difference with a city on the float

You get the sense of being on a boat

Are there no trees in this floating city

No, it is urban, and what a pity

So never live in a city that can float

And you can never leave

That's what this is about

And and to me a pet peeve!

*The picure here is "Floating City" by Robert McCall (1971)*

Time(Borrowed)

What is life if, full of care

With waiting and watching

No time to share

What to do when life is there

And some people cannot bear

The feeling of this

One that they would not miss

They relax and take it day by day

Many people feel this way

*First line was used from the poem "Leisure" by W.H. Davies*

First, Last(Synonym)

First

Beginning, ahead, maiden, opening

Coming in first a trophy will bring

Last

Behind, final, concluding, terminal

Coming in last you can share with your pal

Football(Pleiades)

Football is definitely
Fun
For everyone that wants to
Forever America's sport by far
First game was played by Rutgers and Princeton
Feeling the way many teams do by just cheering
For many years you've grown up to

KSU Wildcats!(Acrostic)

When there is some winning to be done
I would just call the Kansas State Wildcats
Losing is nothing, we are number one
Did I tell you a story of that?
Cause' everyone knows who we are
Always number one by very far
Though we have struggled through the recent years
Snyder will redeem us with many to cheer!

Dogs(Tanka)

Dogs can be so fun

They are fast and can go far

They are super fun

That is why I now have two

Zoe and Precious are mine

Kansas City!(Haiku)

Kansas City Chiefs


I like to go to your games


It is so much fun
