Poems

So I like writing poems (i think) and I've been taking creative writing because there were only 5 available electives I could take on my online school, K12. languages, creative writing, game coding, art history,  and music history. I LOVE art but I wanted to MAKE art, not learn about the history. Same thing with music. So I knew I wanted to take French! And I LOVE writing. My mom didn't want me to take game coding. But I think is SUPER cool but IDK. Anyway we had to write poems for class and I was like 'oh kayyyy' so then I did and I just want to share some of my favorites with y'all. 

This is a concrete poem (poem that make a picture) And I like this formatting of poems the best because it combines some of my favorite things! Writing and art! The blog wasn't formatting the poem correctly with the gingerbread man so here is the link

This is a limerick, it's purpose is to make fun of something, so in this one it's taking about how people you think are perfect still have flaws

Halitosis

There once was a beautiful girl 

whos skin was as white as a pearl

She was sweet and kind 

And smart in mind 

but her breath made the strongest man hurl

this is a traditional rhyming poem with A,B patterns

Lets Enjoy

Autumn is here for now

Let’s enjoy it, how?

Watch the leaves tumble down

sweeping dancing all around

With colors of red, brown and gold

All the days getting cold

Gently drifting smooth and swift 

          Lets enjoy autumn's gift

Hear the crunch of smashing twigs

Hear the laughter of little kids

See the colors change and shift

Feel the warmth of summer lift

Enjoy the crisp autumn days 

And the cool autumn nights

Enjoy the beauty of the sights

Let the football season begin 

With teams that lose and win

Hot cider, apple pie

Tall trees, clear sky

Lets enjoy autumn while it lasts

Let's enjoy autumn before it is past

This last one is a free verse, just writing something poetic. You can choose either rhyme or not to.

STAND UP

There comes a time

Were we all 

Have to stand up

And be brave

To rise 

To help create

And build

To make choices 

And not be let down.

Even when it’s hard

And it will at times

We will fall

But there is a way back up

We just have to ask

And there will be help

To pull us back on our feet

To continue the journey

And help us along

To catch us when we stumble 

And guide us through

Even when there is nobody

There is always someone
We can unite

And stand up

And rise together

As one

As a whole

And we can be strong 

We can be fierce

We can be kind 

And we can understand

With no more confusion

And live in peace 

If we all stand up 

against the mighty winds

of the world

I've found that I write the best when I'm inspired by something and just

plop it down on the paper not thinking just writing, getting all of my thoughts down

before they are swept away and then revising. I am a minor perfectionist and when I write

I'm like 'no that doesn't sound right better change it now because it looks awful' and then I

forget what I was going to write :( same thing with these blogs If I think about it too much then

I get frustrated and not post for a while because I want it to look perfect. I don't like that

I do that but it's handy when drawing (sometimes) because then I know where everything

is supposed to go and how it looks and to get it down and make it look beautiful. But at

other times I just want to draw a quick sketch and it's annoying that I want EVERYTHING

right. Oh well, I had a fun time writing these poems and like how they are written.

I have no idea why the formatting isn't working and why it looks like a Christmas tree
