I Am Poem I am a “citizen” and City´s #1 fan. I think just about the season I hear more citizens cheering around me I see the Etihad rising with joy I want to see the team rising the cup. I am a “citizen” and City´s #1 fan. I pretend to see City rising the cup I worry about never be able to see the Etihad I get angry when the goalie misses a ball I hope to be at the Etihad at least once. I am a “citizen” and City´s #1 fan. I understand if we don´t win at all I say “City are the champions of England!” I dream to celebrate the cup in Manchester. I am a “citizen” and City´s #1 fan.

What is Poetry?Poetry is the voice of deep

feelings arranged in the best order possible to express and idea

“Writing poetry is the hard labor of imagination”

“Poetry: the best words in the best order”

“Poetry is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge”

LimerickLimericks are silly poems with a certain amount of syllables.

My Example:There once was a guy from Australia, who married a girl named Thalia, she looked like a horse, she was tall, of course, their honeymoon was in Tanzania.

TankaTanka Poems are japannese and

they look very similar to haikus. They follow a specific pattern of syllables.

My Example:I once was on Thailand,

it was incredibly exotic. So big and so natural I was swimming deeply and camly

Diamante It is a 7 line poem in diamond shape

that describes 2 nouns exploring their opposites.

My Example: Sky

blue, huge

protecting, saving, refreshing

clouds, athmosphere, life, resources,

comforting, living, producing,

tremendous, natural,

Earth

Narrative It is a big poem that tells a story. Example 1: ORANGES, A boy taking a walk with his

girlfriend & he buys her a chocolate with two oranges.

Example 2: THE HIGHWAYMAN, The highwayman

goes as usually to steal, but he falls in love with a girl. They take the girl & he goes to rescue her. They both end up killing themselves.

“The Labyrinth” The idea of “the Labyrinth” was to

see how a person interprets poetry… My Interpretation: Poetry is the voice of deep feelings

arranged in the best order to express an idea.
