  1. I learned that in poetry there can be different emotions and be the type of poetry. I also learned that the type of poetry and poetic devices are different. One other thing that I learned about poetry is that there are different types of the same thing. One example is that there are different types of rhyming poetry.

    My poem

    Sun shine
    The sun is shining

    The bright sun shines down on me

    Look how bright it is

    I love the very bright sun

    Don’t ever leave me sun shine

    Type of poem : Tanka

    The poetic devices that I used :

    Speaker
    Metaphor

  2. What I have learned about poetry so far in the year is that poetry isn’t just a bunch of rhyming words but also is a pattern in the words and relies on rhythm, not rhyme. Rhyme is optional.The types of poems I have learned are haiku, color poem,Imagery, Tanka, and couplet.Some poetic devices I have used in my poems are near rhyme, rhyme scheme, internal rhyme, pattern, exaggeration, and metaphor. Here is a poem I have written:
    3:30
    The window open, chatter from the living room.
    No lights on, just the sun.
    Cars driving furiously through the streets.
    Following the city’s afternoon beat.

    The poetic devices I used in this poem are rhyme and rhythm. The type of poem is imagery.
    -JOSH:)

  3. This year I have learned so many poems.From haiku to rhyme from riddle to all about me.
    I have also learned that poem-making takes a lot of practice. Here is my poem.

    I walk down into the subway
    I feel a light breeze
    I hear the click clack
    I see some lights
    From Bergen Street to Far Rockaway from Dimartas avenue to Stineway street, there is always a new place to discover
    Bye, and good night I say.

    In this poem, I used alliteration by starting with I for the majority of the poem. Also, I used imagery because when I wrote this poem, I was thinking of the subway. I also used point of view because this was the poems characters point of view

  6. What I have learned about poetry is that it can be about many things - color or emotion. I also learned about personification which is when you give objects qualities. I wrote a poem about my bed using personification.

    My Poem:
    My bed watches me with a tender eye
    He watches me far and wide
    when I climb into my bed
    I lay down into the softness
    My bed stretches its long long arms
    and gives me a very soft hug
    Then bends down and gives me a kiss on my cheek
    that is how I can go to sleep

This is one of my poems called anger in joy, Anger is the color of a bloody nose, It happens when your pencil brakes in the middle of a test. It sounds like a crash. It smells like hot sauce tearing your eye. Anger

  9. Some things I learned from poetry so far is that all poetry doesn't have to rhyme. Another thing I learned, is there is more than one type of poem.

    Some poetic devices that I have used in my poems are a metaphor, a near rhyme, alliteration, and simile.

    Here is a poem I wrote:
    Zebras are awesome
    Their stripes are very pretty
    Zebras are so cool
    Everybody loves zebras
    Their stripes are amazing

    I am going to ask you all what poetic devices were used in my poem.

    What I learned that poems can be anything from your imagination. I also learned poetic devices such as rhyme scheme and near rhyme.(I chose this because I don't have any ideas.) Here's my poem about basketball is boring:

    Basketball is boring
    Just a hoop and a ball
    Basketball sucks!!!!

    This is a (6,4,6) haiku poem
    It has metaphor words
    Plus it has its own speaker. So that's what I've learned in poetry.

  12. What I learned about poetry is that poetry can be anything that you want to do about.
    I also learned about poetry is that there is different types of poetry like color poem and haiku poem.
    The poetic device that I used on most of my poetry is imagery because I tell the story instead of the poem telling the story.
    My poem is...
    Angry
    Is a color of a hot red peper
    It happens when someone says something mean to me
    It sounds like a car screeching to a hat
    It smells like a burning toast

    bright
    sun light
    moon light
    star light
    car light
    star bright
    make everything bright

  13. I learned that poetry does not have to rhyme and there are all kinds of poems. I didn't know there were haikus, personification poems and so on.

    The poetic devices I've used are personification, couplet, rhyme, and rhythm.

    A poem that I want to share is a personification poem. It's called Lunchbox:

    It ate up all my food
    It went to work at noon
    It started typing essays
    It watched TV on Sundays
    It dropped its kids off on weekdays
    And now it's done for the day

    I wrote a personification poem with couplets, rhyme and rhythm.

  14. I learned how to do poetry by using these poetic deivices Simile

    Ryhme

    And nartive poetry

    (haiku is my favorite type of poetry)
    I like rhyme because u can make u things for example
    (It makes no sense at all) “kayak smacks racks sack and rack packs a track to attack zack.Zack races poker faces and looses a wild goose chase.while grace plays outer space.
    See I told u it made no sense. Simile means that u compare something with the word like and as.Naritive poetry is a form of poetry telling a story often making voices of a narrator as well

  15. What I learned in poetry is to use your imagination and be creative with what your doing and never to copy someones work and say its yours.


    I have beautiful colors but no pink.
    I have water but no streams.
    I have booty but no gold
    What am I?

    RAINBOW

  18. I have learned a lot of things about poetry so far. I have learned that poems don't have to rhyme. Also there are a lot of different kinds of poems. The last thing I have learned is that poems can be about anything.
    I have used a lot of poetic devise in my poems. I have used rhyme, rhythm, alliteration, metaphor , narrative, personification, and smile.

    The clouds in the sky rumble and grumble.
    Not very happy at this moment of time.
    Looking down and never looking up.
    The clouds in the sky have tears in their eyes.
    Crying hard are the clouds in the sky.
    Tears poring from their eyes,
    After they're sad they're happy again, disappearing from the sky.
    They come again and are happy for a while,
    and they become sad again.

    The poetic devices I used in this poem are rhyme , rhythm, and personification.

  19. I’ve learned that poetry has a lot of poetic devices like personification and rhyme scheme. I also learned that there are many different types of poetry like haiku’s and emotion poems.

    The big day

    I am excited
    Tomorrow I will perform
    Dancing on stage
    At school for Grandparents Day
    I am very excited

    This is a Tanka. I used rhythm, ( all poems that use syllables have it.) I also used near rhyme and if there is a near rhyme couplet, (please tell me) I used it.

  20. I have learned many things in poetry but the things that stood out most are that poems don't have to rhyme and how to use poetic devices.

    I have used rhyme, simile, unamoapia, metaphor, point of view and many others, in my poetry.

    Here is a rhyming poem:
    The lucky ducky chucky go mucky
    on an unlucky Kentucky day.

    The above poem uses rhyming mostly.

    Another poem goes like this:
    A form of beauty,
    what flowers happen to be.
    All colors and smells
    you find deep within.
    Blue, red, white and many others,
    are some colors you will find.

    In the poem above I uses rhyming, point of view and imagery.

  21. One of the poems is an Exaggeration poem.
    I had the world's worst pizza.
    It tasted like it came from a trashpit.
    I thought I was going to die.
    I tasted it and I fainted.
    I didn't know if I would make it.

    What I have learned about poems is that there are so many ways to do poems. I thought that there were only five ways to do poems. Also I can write poems about anything. I use similes sometimes. Also I use imagery because my imagery goes crazy and I love writing about it.

    You can use metaphors in your poetry as a poetic device in an emotion poem.
