For this assignment, we are supposed to write a variety of poems by mixing something that is already created into our own. We created poems with only idioms, song titles, slogans in it, and even crossing out words in an article and turning it into a poem. These are my four poems:

  1. Idiom Poem

Hard work

noddy work

pass the buck

give someone their cards

– –

bad workers always blame their tools

sketch a game plan

to pass muster

– –

be real troupers

start from having their work cut out

to movers and shakers

2. Song Title Poem

Faded Romance

used to be so shy

then, you walked into my life

never thought you are my sunshine

– –

Your perseverance hooked me,

you were my last text, and who I thought of

for day and night

– –

Still, shy

turns into regret:

now we don’t talk anymore.

Black space between us

replaced by

another girl

– –

You belong with me

but these wildest dreams

are still only

dreams.

– –

Count on me for 1, 2, 3, 4

I’ll be there, by your side, holding you tight

because you are my

one and only

sunshine.

3. Slogan Poem

Together

because life’s complicated enough

so expand your mind, and change your world

it’s within you: your power, beauty and

soul

to reach out and touch someone

and together fly the friendly sky.

– –

because life’s complicated enough

the greatest tragedy is indifference

to keep going and going and going

on your own.

connecting people together

and share moments, share life

because

pleasure is the path to joy.
