Author Topic: I have to write 6 poems for english class.  (Read 2210 times)

I would appriciate it if you guys would tell me what you think of my poems. (I'll be posting as i finish them)

1.

Scared

Scared is like black, you never know what will happen
It sounds like creaking boards.
Scared tastes like rotten apples.
And it smells like curdled cheese
It looks like a thunderstorm.
It makes me feel scared.

2.

Awesome.
I wish I wasn’t so awesome.
People come up to me and ask me why I’m so awesome
Some people even send me gifts.
I’m so awesome that I can ride a dinosaur without it eating me
I could skydive and be awesome there too.

If I died I would be put in a jar to study.
Then they would bring me back to life so I could continue to be awesome

Willie looking in the gun,
Pulls the trigger just for fun.
Mother says in tones so pained,
"Willie is so scatter-brained!"

Willie, in a rage insane
Threw his head beneath a train
All were quite surprised to find
How it broadened Willie's mind.

Willie saw some dynamite,
Couldn't understand it quite;
Curiosity never pays.
It rained Willie seven days.

Willie got sick so bad
He took the coldstops that he had
bleeding out of his nose
Now he is the new-york magazine's front cover pose

Willie, walking down the track
Couldn’t hear the engine squeal.
Now the engine’s coming back
Scraping Willie off the wheel.

Willie fell down the elevator,
Wasn't found 'till six days later.
Then the neighbors sniffed, "Gee whiz!
What a spoiled child Willie is!"

Willie' walking through the rain
Spied a pit bull on a chain.
Reached out to pet it,
Quiet as a mouse.
Funeral tomorrow
At Willie's house.

まほ~

Free verse poems are for lazy people.

Real men rhyme like it's going out of style.
Work on these a bit longer, it might take a while.

Lol.

Last two soldiers on the battlefield
Survivors of the war
They aim at one another
While their mothers beg the lord
If you're listening
I'm missing him
So somehow bring him home
How did it come to this?

So the soldiers lift their rifles
And they're aiming at the head
They think of their first love
Before they take their final breath
And somewhere in the distance
They hear something someone said
How did it come to this?

I don't like your line about curdled cheese, but everything else is good.

Colors:

Green is like life
It sounds like singing birds.
Green tastes like food from your wife
And it smells like some barf or some turds
It looks like green, rich grass
And makes me feel like a sass.

Blue is the beautiful ocean
It sounds like rushing waves
Blue tastes like refreshing water
And it smells like new house paint.
Blue looks like the hot blue stars
Blue makes me feel (idk what to say here)

Red is the color of blood
It sounds like a big giant thud
Red tastes like nothing
And it smells like fire smoke
It looks like something undescribable
It makes me feel uncomfortable.

Yellow is like flowers from a vase
It sounds like the name "Chase"
It tastes like rotten bananas
And it smells like fertilizer
Yellow looks like the Sun
It makes me feel weird.

I'll make up more if you want.

Here's one from this paper our teacher handed out:

T'was brillig in the slithy toves
To gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borrowgroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Beware the Jabberwock my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the JubJub bird and shun
The frumious bandersnatch!

He took his vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought

And as in uffish thought he stood
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgy wood
And burbled as it came

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker snack
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back

And has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh, Callay!
He chortled in his joy.

T'was brillig in the slithy toves
To gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borrowgroves
And the mome raths outgrabe

If you want to get 100, write a Petrarchan Sonnet.

Just be like, "Yeah sorry I only came up with one.  I feel like nothing will be able to match this one."

What's a Petrarchan Sonnet?

Its an italian sonnet written by this Renaissance guy Petrarch.  It uses a specific line and rhyme scheme and is very difficult to make.

Oh, I see.

Miga wrote me this Petrachan Sonnet after he should me the secret place he only shows to diligent scouts with weak gag reflexes. I hope you can use it and your teacher likes it as much as I did. It's even in iambic pentameter~

"The small girl came by my house again
The one with the black hair and ample features
Easily among God's most beautiful creatures
I moved to keep her from the other men

My basement I assured her was top-notch
And the chains and whips just decoration
As a girl of 11 she gave me such sensation
When her little forehead grazed against my crotch

I planned to keep her 'til she was fourteen
Then she would be unusable
But for now she was mine and mine alone
Mine to touch and hold and clean
Fun until her breasts have grown too full
Then beneath the Earth will be her home"



I suck at poems, but lets see...

Aliens

No point in sleeping
Some weirdo green guys creeping
Right outside the window tonight
Gonna give you quite a fright
But then they say to you
"Silly human, what did you do?"
Then you would so merrily reply
I gave my undies brown dye!


Sucked.
