Imagery Poem

"The New Day of Sunrise and Sunset"
By:Benjamin Trapp


Dawn is here.
Whatching a new sunrise appear.
It's beautiful the say
and always gives a new sunrise a name.
We all want a sunrise in life
but we live on borrowed times.
We can't have everything we want.
Thats life.
Time goes by and everything changed.
It is mid-day.We all learn and live.
We have to share an give.
We are not bad people you have to say.
We are good people everyday.
The mid-time is passing.
You have to hurry.
Live life as long as you could.
Whatching a sunset go downis sad
and you get mad.
But when a sunset goes down
you will always know
there will be another sunrise to appear.

Where I'm From Poem

They asked Where am I From
By: Benjamin Trapp

Where am I from they asked me.
Me.
Why me?
Do you know where you are from?
I could be from anything, anywhere.
You couldn’t tell.
I am from my room watching chowder.
Damn he’s a big eater.
When I was little I watched everything.
Barney, Tellitubies, Zaboomafo,
even Spongebob.
I am from the world that is yours
created from pencil and eraser.
The world that you create and make it come to life.
You could make it anything.
A Heaven, a Hell, your world.
You decide.
I am from each video game ever made.
Running, jumping, fighting flying,
I wish I could do that.
I leave my world that I’m in to be someone or something else.
I am from the PS3 controller in my home.
Did I tell you my PS3 died the other day?
OHHH-LORD give it life.
It makes me sad.
I am from the suits I wear at a funeral.
Walking to see my dead relative to say goodbye for the last time.
Goodbye cousin. (Jodi)
Goodbye uncle. (Barnes)
Goodbye grandpa.
Goodbye all of you.
Now you can REST IN PIECE.
Don’t think badly about the future.
Only think good.
I am from the company that will help me be one of the best video game creators ever!!!
I am from my room drawing to hope that one day I’ll make a good cartoon show.
I am from the future with a loving home and additions to the family.
I will pass on what I’ve learned.
I am from a good home.
I am from a good family.
I was raised well.
I am part of my family tree.
My family tree will grow and grow more until….

What is the author's viewpoint on life in "The Edge is Where I Want to Be?" Use examples from text to prove your answer.





I think the authors viewpoint on life in "The Edge is Where I Want to Be" is to live on the edge. I think this because in the text it says" The edge is the cliff you've dangled from in a hundred nightmares you never know what's over that edge and there's only one way to find out" So to be able to live on the edge he has to make it over the edeg to be on it.

Object Poem

The DSi sits
on the shelf with its kind.
It wonders if it would sit there
till the end of time.
It sits and waits
until the day it would be picked.
Something new comes out.
The DSi has a fit.
It's new and bold.
People treat it as if it was gold.
The DSi thinks it's still new
but it's afraid to be old.
DSi XL is the name of the new.
It's mainly for old folks
but young people could buy it too.
It's bigger,
it's better,
but they're really the same.
The DSi relaxes and thinks
the other is not to blame.
One dat, sad and blue
a new costumer came in,
wanting something new.
It looks at everything
and decides what to choose.
The child chooses the DSi.
The DSi cries and weeps.
It tells the others to stay strong and believe.

My Favorite Poem

In my class we read poems. It was hard to choose wich one was my favorite but it came down to one. A poem called "This Type Love". "This Type Love" is about the speaker talking about all the different loves he wants. The speaker wants to have different types of love but the speaker can't because the speakers married. I like this poem because I undestand this poem more than the others. The other poems I don't really understand but this poem I get. "This Type Love" is my favorite poem so far.

Poetry Response Essay: Plot and Theme

People write poems to express themselves. Poems are happy, sad, bad, and funny. My class read a few poems this month. Some likes poems, others might not. But poems tell us a story.

One of the poems we read is a poem called "This Type Love". The title is called "This Type Love", sooooooo.......you would be thinking it's about a type of love. The poem is about someone wanting different types of love. The speaker is unknown but we could guess that the speaker is male. The person wants different types of love from a woman that could give him that but the speaker says that he's married.

I think the poem's theme is love. I think the poem's theme is love because the speaker is talking about wanting different types of love. In the poem the speaker is describing different loves he wants. So the obvious theme it could be is love.

Poems tell us a story. The speaker wants different types of loves but he can't because he's married. I believe many men feels like the speaker but they're married. Many but not all. This poem tells us a story. A story of how some me feel.
