I am a beauty queen in tears

I wonder why society defines us

I hear the snakes and bees on my feed

I see pools of blue in the eyes of those

I want to you to feel your pulse and remind yourself that you are a blessing

I am beautiful, different , and loved

I pretend to not listen, but I am listening

I feel sorry for those who put me down to gain respect for themselves

I worry if this generation will learn to love

I cry for those who feel attacked by social standards

I am wistful to those who can't express themselves

I Am Poem : I am a collateral beauty

I understand your quirkiness and flaws we are perfectlly imperfect

I say do what makes you happy

I dream that one day youll change

I try to give yellow to those with blue

I hope fathers will be good to their daughters, because daughters become mothers who turn into lovers

I am a collateral beauty

I Am Poem : I am a collateral beauty

Response:

I Wrote this Poem to inspire the reader how little people care about beauty standards and to reassure themselves about self-respect. I purposely used inferences to form opinionated statements logically. The word inference means “to bring, carry, or bear.” I wanted the reader to understand the implicit meaning behind " I am a collateral Beauty" this phrase is special to me because, collateral beauty is the “beautiful” side of collateral damage, meaning the better side of something terrible that occurred

Bio Poem : Sydney Bakke

Response:

Writing this poem was one of my favorites to do because it was based on me and the things I like. The literacy device used was the bio a poem method, Bio poem is used to talk about yourself or a fictional character.

Bio Poem

Sydney

                            Humble, confident, Intelligent, charismatic

                                  Daughter of Brad & Cheri Bakke

                           Lover of dogs, traveling, and cleanliness

Who feels eccentric when things go my way, performs well when focused

who appreciates the loved ones in her life, very thankful for my set boundaries

             who gives her time, and help for those who need it most

               who fears loss, and loneliness, bad hygiene and dry hands

          who would like to like to visit the Islands and the streets of foreign cities

                                  A resident of Sandiego, California

                                                             Bakke

Re- creation Poem: Dirty girl looks

A narrow aisle of goods

Masks my view of dirty looks

Panicking as their eyes met mine

Tension burning in judgment

As my face is bright with rouge

Their stares weighted me down

I pull at my gloves

The tiny bell bringing the teacher

Her presence so bright

She made the gray december warm

As she let me leave school early

Select words from Gary Soto's poem " Oranges"

Response:

The setting of my re-creation poem," Dirty girl looks," is about high school girls giving dirty looks. The protagonist can be you or someone you might know who can relate to being judged. With the phrase " their stares weighted me down" I used this as a metaphor of stares being so vicious they felt as if they weighed you down making you feel powerless.

Response:

Writing this poem I wanted the reader to find hope in the meaning behind the repetition of "It's seven O' clock somewhere." I purposely used the number seven because it's known as the guardian angel's number and they use 777, as a coincidence to capture your attention something beautiful and awe-inspiring is happening or is about to happen in your life.

Stylistic Imitation Poem :

There are so many reasons to be happy

Stylistic Imitation Poem :

There are so many reasons to be happy

He is a bench in a desert

Seven O´ Clock somewhere

  Feeling like a fish without water

  And a bell without a ring

  Seven O’Clock somewhere

It’s only a bad day not a bad life Seven O’Clock somewhere

Thank you God, Thank you God

Nobody realize how we open our eyes

Seven O’Clock somewhere

He gave us another life

It’s seven O´Clock

Seven O’Clock Somewhere

A babyś first breath

Seven O’Clock somewhere

A loss in their breath

Seven O´ Clock somewhere

Sheś a kite without a string

Seven O’Clock somewhere

 The wind carried her away

 Feeling like an Island

Seven O´ Clock somewhere

Imitation of Frederico Garcia Lorca's style in his poem "Llanto por ignacio Sanchez Mejias

Definition Poem : what's your energyy

Response:

The word Energy stuck out to me the most because there are many positive relations to that word. My phrase "When birds and dogs alarm the neighborhood reminding everyone to wake up," I used symbolism to represent living things having the energy to alert us that it's a new day. Energy can be as little as going for a jog, the color yellow or greeting a neighbor. The definition is vibrancy, strength, and spirit of life.

The Man from Maine has to do with the struggles of long-distance love. This Limerick poem may be short, but there is a deeper meaning behind it all. This relationship is distant, yet they loved each other so much they both flew out to see one another, but she had flown out to Maine to surprise him as he flew to see her in her state making they both were thinking about each other so it was equal love and real.
