Poetry Favorites

Poetry can take you places, create scenes in your mind, lead you to look at, and think about things in new ways. It can make you laugh or make you cry.

You have all been writing wonderful poems in your classes. Choose your favorite original poem and write it in this blog post. Then write a reflection on why it is your favorite poem. How did you come up with your idea? Was the poem easy or difficult to write?

Please write about the literary devices that you used in your poem. Did you use similes, metaphors, personification, figurative language, onomatopoeia, repetition or any other of the literary devices that poets use? If you have two favorite poems, then share them both with us and your reflections on them too!
