Poetry Response 4

I have read Alyssa and Maddi’s I Have Seen poems and they both very descriptive and well written. “I have smelt freshly mowed lawn” is an example of very good imerdry and I feel like I can almost smell it myself. Maddi had a really great poem. She used a lot of alliteration and nice use of words. She even had dialogue and nice repetition. “Happiness filling every visible object” is a really great metaphor, I really could  contemplate on the message that line is giving. Maddi went from a great start to a beautiful day to the sad truth of problems and worldly concerns. It was sad, but a really great twist. Maddi’s poem was very well written, I really enjoyed it! In Alyssa’s poem she really used great description and metaphors. “I have seen the fear in punched black eyes” is really, really descriptive and I really could imagine looking into someones beaten face. Her poem focused on sad and not being able to free yourself. Feeling lost. Feeling like nobody cares. Being broken. It really can relate to so many people. Teens, parents, kids, everyone. It was a really great poem. I actually read it 7 times over. The poem gives you something to contemplate on and realize that not everyone is doing okay. I really enjoyed reading both of these poems. They were really great, meaningful, and well writing. Good job guys!
