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.

I think of a beautiful love poem. Or a funny one.

Roses are red, violets are blue, i am cool and so are you. Poems talk about real feelings. They are long with expressions of peoples thoughts. Words that rhyme, big words, and deep feelings.

DaisyFuentes2 said...

Words that rhyme together. The same rhythem beat and meter.

Poems talk about what happens in life the nature, and beauty of things. Poems are usually in couplets and alot of lines. Some words can rhyme to eachother and end up in a beautiful master piece.
Anything can be in a poem.

parker said...

Someone showing their love to another.

Poetry is a beautiful thing. Poems let you talk about your feelings and how you feel about something, weather it is love, hate,or your application for someone.

2.) "Poems are very cool they talk about lots of cool stuff, they look like lyrics to a song, and in a poem there should be words that rhyme and cool words."

JessicaM said...

1.A few thoughts i have immediately after someone says "Poetry" is some rhymes expressing their feelings. A short story talking about their feelings.
2.poems poems oh they are so cute,
ones talk about love and ones bout flute,some are dark and some or bright, some are shame and some about fight,they talk about friend ship and also about hate, some are early, some are late, poems are an emotional thing, when they talk about something that makes u sing,

elizabethpena said...

1)What does that mean?
Did you think of that yourself?
Why did you decide to read that one?
Is that poem about your own personal life?
2)Poem:
A poem is like a butterfly so wonderful and cute,
They can be mean they can be nice and some you can salute,
They talk about emotions,
They talk about the sky,
They talk about the underground,
And mostly when you die,
They're really small,
They're real petite,
They'll do it all,
They can't be beat,
There should be action,
There should be threat,
There should be more about my pet,
Remember this and you will say,
You know she was right,
Hey Hey, Hey Hey.

2.Some poems are very nice and intresting they are like lyrics to a song, but in a shorter version in a poem. your suppost to use words that rhyme and make it intresting. It has its own beat going on.

emir said...

when i hear "poem" i think of romance and girls and dark secrets of a person and there true self

on a dark morning he goes out
walking in the meadow jumps
a walking weird looking snout
as he runs away he thumps.

freddy said...

I think poetry is just an expression that rhymes and has a beat to it, well not exactly rhymes but defining what you are talking about as other things in an understanding way.

A bird cheeping in the morning spring sounds like its just brought life to the empty cold oblivion.

LaNDy hAFoka said...

When i here the word poem i here i guess express your self how ever you want.

Poems don't usually are about love,friendship,and other things like that it's about what you think and what you feel not what others feel or think.

life filled with love is all that you need with yourself too.

Jorge said...

when i here "poems' i think about love and romance and relationships.
poems talk about love and whats happeing.poems look like people having realationships and falling in love.You should put romantic stuff in a poem.

the ladys eyes are green and beutiful. she looks like the beuatiful sky in the morning her hair is beuatiful and shinny.

roses are reds viloets are orange the sky is falling but my heart is growin.

Unknown said...

For me the first thing that comes to mind when someone says "Poetry" is rhyming. I think that a poem sounds the best when it flows and when it rhymes.

There once was a bug named Doug
he always had a mug
He lived in a tree
His last name was Lee
His best was a slug.

What do poems talk about- What ever the author is inspired to write about.
What do poems look like- the way the poem looks depends on what type of poem the author is doing.
What should be in a poem- poems should always have an main topic in it, and should make a far out statement that gets there point across.

When I hear the word Poetry, I think about someone using rhyming words and using their feelings to speak out and show emotion or a purpose.

It's Called Football

Football,
It is my favorite sport,
Not like basketball,
Where you run on a court,
There's much more to it if you know what im sayin,
Always hitting people,
running routes,
My favorite sport to be playing.

I can tell you what football is like,
it's not like basketball your shoes actually have spikes,
I learn from my coaches just how i should play,
But my name is Jack Bangerter,
WHAT MORE SHOULD I SAY....!!!

Q #1 when i think of "poetry" i think of, rythm, rhym, and flow.

Q #2 my life is fun and exciting

why can't we just live
forever?

just have fun while it lasts.
don't look at the bad things
that will happen.
don't look at the past.
look at the good things that
will happen.

have fun while it lasts.
