Poetry reading

I chose the first poem “Blue butterfly day” by Robert frost because this reminds me of my favorite season, spring. I really liked how the weather is hot. The season reminds me of a lot of good memories with my family and friends.

Blue-Butterfly Day – Poem by Robert Frost
It is blue-butterfly day here in spring,
And with these sky-flakes down in flurry on flurry
There is more unmixed color on the wing
Than flowers will show for days unless they hurry.

But these are flowers that fly and all but sing:
And now from having ridden out desire
They lie closed over in the wind and cling
Where wheels have freshly sliced the April mire.

I chose this second poem “Two butterflies went out at noon” by emily dickinson because this reminds me of me and my friends going out to have fun. I really enjoy going out with my friends and this poem also bring backs memories.

Two Butterflies went out at Noon
Emily Dickinson, 1830 – 1886
Two Butterflies went out at Noon—
And waltzed above a Farm—
Then stepped straight through the Firmament
And rested on a Beam—

And then—together bore away
Upon a shining Sea—
Though never yet, in any Port—
Their coming mentioned—be—

If spoken by the distant Bird—
If met in Ether Sea
By Frigate, or by Merchantman—
No notice—was—to me—

Poetry by me

Acrostic
Ethan is my brother
Very happy
Everything is awsome
Loves to play sports
Young wild
New things

Can’t sing
Hates mustard
And love my family
Overreacting

Is a fun sport
It’s fun to play with friends
Soccer makes me athletic

Big snow balls flying in the air

Lie poem

the ocean
The water in pink
the turtle is purple
the seaweed is orange
the rocks are blue

2 Simile poem

Snow white
Skin pale like snow
lips are red as blood
personality is sweet like candy
eyes are blue like the ocean
hair is black like shadow

volleyball
the ball spins in the air like a dragonfly
the ball bounces over the net back and forward like a dolphin coming up to the shore
the ball sets on the finger like a airplane landing
the ball shoots down like a bullet

2 Metaphor poem

Trampoline
Guy is a kangaroo on the trampoline
loses 4 pounds when he jumps on it
he makes jumping on the trampoline a piece of cake
he has rabbits legs
he’s a animal in the wild when he jumps

Black cat
The night is a black cat
the moon is he grey eyes
the stars are the mice she hunts at night
the shooting stars is her speed

3 Alliteration Poem

Shark
Smooth silky skin on his back
smart to survive
swim swiftly through the sea

Firework
Flying up in the sky
For a celebration
Firework shoots out bright colors in the sky

Airplanes
A smooth landing to bring everyone home
A light flashing in the air
I see them in the dark

fear poem
My fear tastes like the food you had from your family
my fear feels like living in fear my whole life
my fear smells like salt from your tears
my fear looks like a dark path with no happiness
my fear sounds like a little girl crying in the darkness

Freeverse
summer
The sun shines bright like a diamone
the sky is blue like the ocean
the flowers looks like a rainbow
the wind flys like a butterfly

ocean
the waves
run through my feet to my legs
the hot sand burns my feet
the boat floating on the
beach

the snow floats on the sky
slowly fall on my head
light and airy snow
ready to play with
ice cold snow on the floor
throwing them trough the air
friends bonding together

Over the Chinese new year break I spend time with my family and friends. Something we like to do to spend time together is make a type of candy/dessert. It is when you have sugar in a ladle and melt it over the stove to make a syrup, then add the baking powder to make it poof up. We like to see if it poofs up or not because that’s what’s special about this and make’s it really hard to make.
