This poem sums up the basic mindset

one should have in life. This poem also

does a great job of comparing a

butterfly’s life to our lives. This whole

poem is a comparison of the two. This

poem does also follow a rhyme scheme.

Life is so precious, and you can not take

any day for granted. You may not live to

see another day, that’s why you must

enjoy every moment.

I loved this poem because it was so positive.

It gave off such positive energy and made me

want to almost live by these words. The

writer made the reader almost feel a certain

positivity after you read it. The writer created

an effect on us by using the repeating phrase

“Life is..”. This poem is words to live by. This

is a free verse. This whole poem is a

metaphor because it compared life to being

all different kinds of things without using the

words like or as.

This poem is a free verse and also uses a lot of

personification. For example, the phrase says, “your

heart sings.” By saying your heart sings, it is giving

human characteristics to non living things. I liked this

poem for many reasons, most of all because the title is

titled ‘Happiness” which is exactly what everyone wants

to feel in life. The poem explains emotions of life that

everyone wants to feel. Everyone wants to be so ‘high’

on life that they are just in pure bliss. Happiness is the

key to being a better you..

This poem is a free verse. The tone of this poem is

serious. You get a feeling of strength after reading

this poem. The mood is set by making us feel like

we can accomplish anything. Life sometimes wants

to knock us down, but we have to get back up. We

have to keep fighting. The writer compares every

negative notation she writes about with a positive

comeback and I love that. You have to be positive

to get through life.

Life is too short

-Anonymous

I like this poem so much because it is a free

verse. This poem creates a certain mood and

the writer gives off a hopeful tone and

positivity. This poem is one of my favorites

because it is everything you should live by in

life. You have to believe and have faith. You

must value life and everyone along with it. Life

is not always easy, but will be worth it if you

keep fighting.

ShineLife is something we all share, Just like

oxygen, in the air The way we live it, is

up to us, With a negative or with a plus

Life is something, we should cherish,

We never know, when we'll perish Live

each and every single day, Smell the

flowers, stop and play

Life is something, we've been blessed,

Choice is yours, choose your quest

Follow your passions, and you'll be

fine, With the right attitude, you will

shine

-Anonymous

This poem has a very nice rhyme scheme. The poem

is a good example of imagery because it paints us a

picture of how one should live their life. It gives off a

rhyme with every line. It makes it that much better for

the reader to read. It also reminds us that nothing in

life should be taken for granted. We should feel

blessed everyday. In life, you have to follow your

heart.

Life

This poem stuck out to me in a good way because it

demonstrates two things you can’t get through life with

out; love and respect. We must respect each other and

learn to love each other. The writer does a good job

with explaining this basically by saying if you do these

two things, you will never have a dull moment. This

poem creates a serious mood because love and

respect should be taken seriously. The writer does a

good job of making the tone in this straight forward and

serious.

The writer rhymes well in this poem. Also, this poem

shows a different point of view that I believe you

must follow in life. This point of view is the fact that

no matter how bad you think you have it, the sun will

always come up the next day. You have the

opportunity to make the next day a better one.

Through tears of joy and tears of sadness, you will

not always be at your lowest low and you will not

always be at your highest high.

In a world filled with changes

each and every day

I feel I'm being judged

for what I do and say

I remember back to Barbies

and play days at the park

When I didn't worry about

other people's remarks

Now looking in the mirror

I see to my surprise

A completely different person

staring in my eyes

The carefree little girl

I saw at 4 and 5

Is now becoming a teen..

Just trying to survive

-Misti L. Green

Changing Life

I love this poem because it is about a

teenage girl. She is young and is just trying

to survive in the teenage environment, that at

times isn’t always the easiest. The teenage

girl kind of shows that she is just trying to get

by and fit in with what she is “supposed to

be.” She further says about how she

remembers being little. She remembers this

because things are more simple. This poem

follows a certain rhyme scheme that makes it

that much easier for the reader to read. It

gives off a positive tone.

This poem has a nice rhyme scheme. This poem is

very intellectual. The writer, Portia, does a really

good job of stating how life isn’t always easy. The

writer says, “there may be some thorns in the way,

but there will also be flowers.” This shows that life

isn’t always going to be bliss and happiness, but it

will be worth it. The tone in this poem is almost a

little of both positivity and negativity. It starts by

saying how things can knock you down, but shows

how to answer to negativity with positivity.

Poems

Love is red and pink

It tastes like an apple pie

It sounds like a soft breeze in the air

It smells like a dozen roses

It looks like a happy, loving family

It makes me feel alive like I never thought I could

-Aubrey Lukacsko

What is love

I believe in the warmth of a smile

The importance of laughter

The love from the friends

The support from my family

The rememberence of those who died in war

But the belief that if you love people,

To let them go is wrong

I believe that laughter is the best medicine

I believe there is nothing stronger than love

I believe in respecting your elders,

Loving, caring, smiling

And I believe everything happens for a reason

-Aubrey Lukacsko

Believe

I am outgoing and loving

I wonder why our society is so corrupt

I hear laughter

I see life in others

I want happiness for the rest of my life

I am outgoing and loving

I pretend I do not care when someone hurts my feelings

I feel love

I touch life

I worry about becoming distant from family in college

I cry when I see someone get bullied

I pretend I do not care when someone hurts my feelings

I understand life is precious and is a gift

I say everything happens for a reason

I dream I will be happy the rest of my life

I try to always stay positive

I hope I can make others happy as myself

I am outgoing and loving

-Aubrey Lukacsko

I am

Blondes have more fun

Just because I’m blonde

Doesn’t mean I’m not smart

Don’t call me stupid

Still take me seriously

Just because I’m blonde

It doesn’t mean you can make fun of me

It doesn’t give you the right to assume things

It doesn’t mean I’m stupid, I just have fun

Just because I’m blonde

Still won’t let people make fun of me

Can’t wait until people realize I’m smart

Just because I’m blonde, I will still be happy

Life

Precious Life

Life can end, too soon

Diseases, suicides, and murders

Family hurts over their loses

Trying to live every moment to the fullest
