Dear, reader:
Hi, my name is Atley Green. I'm a 9th grader at Carbondale Community High School and in Mrs. Hayes English I class. My favorite things to do are playing basketball, listening to music and chilling at the pool with family and friends. But in English were discussing poetry, but poetry isn't my favorite, I never really understood how to write it. But were assigned to think and type out our own poetry book. At first I thought that would be hard but later I learned that I enjoyed it. Maybe I will do this more often.
My favorite poem I wrote was the "Musical" poem. I love music, when I think of music, I think of rhythm, beat, motion and people enjoying themselves. Thats pretty much what the poem is describing. The poem just seemed to flow right, I just really enjoyed making this poem.
My least favorite poem I wrote was the "A day in the life" Poem. I really couldn't think of anything that would be good for that one. At first, I didn't really know how to start it, a whole bunch of beginning sentences popped up but didn't flow right. So I just used what I could think of and made a "Routine" poem.
During the poetry unit I have learned many things. My whole view towards poetry has changed. By writing and thinking of my own poems, I've learned that its not that hard. I always thought it was hard to write one because I thought they had to rhyme. But by making my own poetry book, I've learned different.
By writing the poems in this book, I've learned that anyone can be a poet. It doesn't take much work. It might take some thinking and usage of descriptive and powerful words. But it could also be a simple laid back poem. Either one is fine.
