Haiku About Waves

Waves

They tickle my toes

Sing while they crash on the shore

They dance around me

By Tia Davison

Analyzation

The topic of this poem is waves on the beach. It is a haiku so there are five syllables in the first line, seven in the second and five again in the last. It is about nature because that is traditionally what haikus are about. There is no rhyming scheme. Alliteration is a device used in the first line with tickle and toes. Imagery is used, you can picture waves lapping at your feet. Personification is also used because waves don't actually sing as they reach shore or dance around you.

Poem About Soccer

Final Chance

The team ties up the score

But now they want more,

A win is what they need

Even if they must bleed,

They will succeed.

She is a wall

Blocking every ball,

Not scared of any hit

Not even a bit,

They will not quit.

The pass makes it through

Fans stand up and "ooh",

She manages to score

It's far from a bore,

The mood is changed from before.

The team accomplishes to win the game

Things will never ever be the same.

By Tia Davison

Analyzation

The poem is about an important match that the team really wants to win. It means so much to them and in the end with hard work and dedication they mange to accomplish their goal. The rhyming scheme is AABBB CCDDD EEFFF GG. Alliteration is used in lines one for team and ties and again on line seven for blocking and ball. A metaphor is used on line six because she is not literally a wall she just acts like one when she blocks. Assonance is used a few times in the poem, for example on line 17 with never ever and be.

Sonnet About a Winter Night

Peaceful Winter Night

It's a cold rainy night

The sky is as black as coal,

The moon is shining bright

And the wind is out of control,

But outside does not matter

Because I'm snug as a bug in a rug,

My thoughts have all gone splatter

I feel like I'm on a sleeping drug, 

Dreams drift through my mind

Each weirder than the one before,

But every one is somehow entwined

They all involve the ocean floor,

It is such a heavenly night

I'm dreading the time for the morning light.

Poem About Turtles

Tia's Totally Terrific Turtles

Tia took two turtles,

She taught them to do hurdles.

She must be a terrific teacher,

To be able to tame such a creature.

The turtles won the races,

They wore smiles upon their faces.

They eat meat and sleep all day,

It makes Tia dance and scream HOORAY!

Concrete Poem about Wistfulness

 

Unknown Author

Analyzation

This poem is a very deep emotional poem about missing someone physical but more importantly emotionally and mentally. It is written as the shape of a hand to symbolize the feeling of touch. The author is very upset and is mourning their time together. The theme is wistfulness, because the writer is longing their love, everything reminds him or her of them. The poem is structured like a hand, it is read from top to bottom going left to right. There are no stanzas and no rhyming scheme. A simile is used when comparing how unlike the kisses and the smile is to the whispers and the laugh.  Another simile is used comparing memories to scars, both rough and jagged. Alliteration is used a lot: "patterns of your palms", "sweet and sultry" and "held your hand". Symbolism is used with the hand. Personification is used a lot too, just a couple for example, words cannot graze flesh and poems cannot curl around your heart.
