I love that almost all the words in the poem are made up. Who knows how he wrote this poem and came up with these words. ]]> 2021-02-09 03:03:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1180114065 saragutierrez23 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1180133091 2021-02-09 03:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1180133091 shannoncavanaugh23 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1180143766 I had never read this poem before today, but something about it stuck out to me.

I like how it portrays the reality of both the ups and downs in this lifestyle.]]> 2021-02-09 06:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1180540971 evalopez23 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1183519179 I was drawn to this poem because of the repetition and the metaphors to nature the poet uses.

I have always seemed to enjoy being outdoors and exploring nature reserves. I like this poem because it talks about how nature brings people to rest just as a mother leads her child to bed after playing all day. ]]> 2021-02-09 19:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1184099613 karolynbarsamian23 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185127955 I chose this poem because I really found it interesting which metaphors and personification the author chose to right about.

Even if they do go extinct, everyone will always remember they existed. They have left a permanent memory in everyone's brain. It's kind of saying to leave a mark and make people remember you. Do good things and leave advice or experience for people in the future. ]]> 2021-02-10 00:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185139835 kirthanasenthil23 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185233577 I chose this poem because I felt a real-life connection to it. Wrath can be controlled, but it depends on whether or not the person wants to control it. It shows 2 different points of view on anger. One towards a friend and another towards an enemy. The imagery brings the poem to life. I particularly like that about this poem. It teaches a valuable lesson.]]> 2021-02-10 00:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185233577 skyeprice23 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185240167 I liked this poem because it explains that life is not perfect however, this cannot minimize your dreams. It encourages readers to always dream big and not loose sight of the pleasures of life. ]]> 2021-02-10 00:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185240167 josephineperkins23 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185269943 I chose this poem because it is not very long, and it doesn't reveal a lot about the narrative. However, you can interpret a lot. I like the way it ends, it is sort of mysterious. ]]> 2021-02-10 01:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185269943 cassandrahuston23 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185331518 I chose this poem because I always love a happy ending, no matter how cheesy it is. I also think it is relevant today because towards the end it mentions how death tolls are rising, and sadly they are due to covid. It's nice to think that there could be a happy ending to all of this.]]> 2021-02-10 01:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185331518 mariemilton23 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185416811 I like this poem because i like the topic, love, that it was under, and it was deep and interesting.]]> 2021-02-10 02:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185416811 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185478279 I was drawn to this poem because it reminded me how when I drive my mom always text me "drive slowly and safely."
When you drive if you look off the road for two seconds it would end very badly. ]]> 2021-02-10 03:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185478279 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185852741 This poem illustrates teamwork and staying loyal to your team. I like how the last line says “I’m proud to say I lost with you” because it shows that even when you fail, your team is always by your side. ]]> 2021-02-10 06:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1185852741 allegriasandino23 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1186713721 I like this poem because the poet describes this poem as a response to the death of his close friend and I can relate to the feeling of losing someone close.

The relationship we have is like no other and the love we have for each other is so amazing. I have never loved someone so much in my life.

I love this poem for a number of reasons, but the first thing I noticed was the formatting in the way the author(Lucille Clifton) didn't properly capitalize at the beginning of each new sentence or for proper nouns. I also love the biblical reference to Babylon, saying that she didn't come from the best place. To wrap it up, I also love how she says that she "had no model" except herself, and made her life so successful even through all the hardships(ex. "both nonwhite and woman")]]> 2021-02-11 11:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1191648785 allysonbarragan23 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/fwu43vn2qxh2bguu/wish/1194895562 I really like this poem because of all the imagery it has. It’s very descriptive about where the narrator is and what events are going on. I like how this poem is very mysterious . It makes me curious about how and why the man that made a gesture died.

While in this poem, it describes the death of a beautiful woman in a kingdom by the sea. Both the song and the poem reminded me of a deep blue sea, where a man and a woman has a love that even angels are envious.
