I used to be bad at writing poems, so I wrote a poem about it. I came up with this poem with a little help of my friends.

Thanksgiving is next week, so I decided to write this diamante about it. To me, a good meal is best when shared with family.

This poem reminded me of myself. Summer is very important to me because there's no homework, I can play video games, I have an incredible birthday party, and there's no school. So when it's over, it really is hard for me to believe it's the first day of school.

This poem expresses the idea that the speaker loves summer. In this poem, I could visualize the speaker playing in the heat of the summer sun, but unfortunately, it's the first day of school.

The thing that inspired me to write this poem is my favorite animal: the fox. I decided to right about it because Haiku poems are about nature, animals included.

It's Patriot's Day, so I did this poem about it. It's about all those soldiers out there, that risked everything for us, including their family and their life.

Trying to be
Everything to everyone
In my suit
I'm dressed up for success
I don't do it for the money
I just do it anyway!
Can't call in sick on Mondays
I stand ready when the wolf growls
I'm solid,
I'm steady,
I'm true down to the core!
No matter what the price
I know the sacrifice
If dying's asked of me,
Freedom don't come free.
I'm an American soldier
I will proudly take a stand
I'll always do what's right
American Soldier
An American Soldier
American Soldier
An American
I'll always do what's right
I'm an American,
American Soldier

Our Teacher Likes Minecraft by Kenn Nesbitt

Mr. Poulis was my second grade teacher. It was my first year at Oakland, and it was the best. Mr Poulis loved video games, especially The Legend of Zelda. Though, he didn't tell us to study so he could play it. He just told us about it during our free time.

The poet titled this poem "Our Teacher Likes Minecraft" most likely because in the poem, the speaker describes that his/her teacher likes Minecraft and that the only problem is that they don't learn anything. I could visualize the teacher running, jumping and swinging in the game.

This poem reminded me of when I was in a hotel in Lagos. I put something in a safe, but then I forgot the password. So when we were packing up to leave the hotel, I couldn't get what I put inside the safe.

I felt disappointed when I couldn't get my things from inside the safe, and I think the speaker felt the same exact way. When reading this poem, I could visualize the mess of numbers and letters in the password.

My Family's Fond of Gadgets by Kenn Nesbitt

My family really is fond of gadgets. The adults always use their phones, I use my phone, tablet, and Nintendo Switch a lot, my brother and sister like their tablets and my Nintendo Switch, most of my cousins from my mom's side have Nintendo Switches, one of them has Snap Circuits, and so much more! But when we use them to much, the adults stop us and we have to play with toys.

I think the poet included lines 17 through 20 because they show that if you play on electronics too much, it'll be weird to talk to one another. I think the mood is humorous.
