Heroes!

Heroes come in many shapes and sizes. Not everyone is a hero even if they look like one, though. Super Villains wear tights and capes, too, right? Just because they dress up to look like a Super Hero doesn't mean their intentions are the same. On the same note, some people might look up to other people only to get disappointed, later. How do we figure out who a true hero is? Who do you look up to? Do you look up to someone because they have money or nice clothes?

Poetry

Poetry by definition is a literary work in metrical form or patterned language. It is the art of rhythmical composition which is designed to produce pleasure through beautiful, elevated, imaginative, or profound thoughts. Answer the following questions:

1. What are a few thoughts that you have immediately after someone says, "Poetry"?

2. Please write an original poem (one you create) and post it here. Have your poem be an example of what you view poetry to be. What do poems talk about? What do poems look like? What should be in a poem? Answer these questions by producing a poem of your own and post it here.
