My poems

Night Life

Assignment: Haiku

The the light of the night
towers that shine bright
the night light thats the life

This poem was written because I live in the city and i can relate the staying up and out late to see the city lights. I also got the inspiration to write this poem after seeing the skyline.

into The Darkness
Assignment sonnet

The moment I woke up I saw it big dark
It was a scary creature creeping through the night
No sound I could see but not move it larks
But I know it's there to scare me so it is right
Get up! I hear but then I disappear fade to nothing
I'm no longer there I'm no where gone not to b found
No longer man or beast or whatever we are I start bugging
This feels like nothing lost in a dream I feel like I've been drowned
And I don't want to b drowning or bugging I need to begin the loving
For others people and I don't know what to do for now
We have hurt a lot and done a lot but sometimes we need to be forgiving
And not everyone is ready for something's like vows
The creature is back but I am nothing he is here for nothing
He speaks to me and teaches me things no one knows and teaches me how to begin loving

I wrote this poem because lots of young girls are getting pregnant now a days and they don't ask them selfs how life would change. I wrote this from like a girls point of few and to see what they would do. I just experimented with the idea of the girl talking to her self.

Son

I wrote my sonnet the day after i had a bad dream so I wanted it to relate to my dream and be witty but teach a lesson. I also wrote it  because it seemed interesting when I came up with the idea.

Heart poem reflection

" I want to die" this is a line from The Starry Night by Anne Sexton this poem is very deep and understanding. I choose this as my heart poem because its relatable  and the literary devices, word choice and the point of the poem. They all come together to make an amazing heart poem.
The poem is about how life is hard and sometimes people need a place to get away and for Anne sexton that would be suicide. This poem explains what she wants because things are hard for her. The first time I read the poem I was very confused but after reading it a few times I realized the meaning behind the poem. Line 6 " I want to die" being repeated, gave those words strength and showed how she felt. Shes tired of going through life with hardships and other things that get in her way and bother her. This poem also shows how hard things could be because she writes about being swallowed up by a dragon which is like a symbol for all her problems and how they suck her up, hurt her and mess with her.
Another reason I connect to this poem is because the literary devices in it such as  metaphors, and repeating words . The words I want to die are used twice in this poem to give the words strength and show how much Anne Sexton cares about the way she feels. She feels shes ready to die and she wants to show the reader that by saying the words over and over again to put them in the readers head. An example of her using metaphors is in lines 14 and 15 " sucked up by that great dragon, to split from my  life with no flag." These lines made me think about life fading and how hard things could be sometimes. Anne Sexton is trying to show her readers that things are hard and sometimes you need a break and want to get away from it all. The dragon represents something scary and dangerous, so it taking her away is like the pain finally going away and leaving her.
I really can connect to this poem because I know how hard life can be sometimes not like I want to die but sometimes I need to be in a place alone just to get away from things. I think this poem expresses feelings for lots of people and it helps you to think sometimes. This poem is very strong and deep it really puts lots of things out there for people especially Anne Sexton.
