I’ve never been a fan of poetry

I always get bored and end up staring at the upholstery 

The teacher always assigned us poems unknowingly

That we would all rather be doing trigonometry 

Poetry bores me almost as much as psychiatry 

Poetry makes me grasp my rosary

As I wish I was somewhere like Yosemite 

As I sip on this Minnesota tea

And look out at the growing tree

I wonder if it cares about poetry

Poetry is lame

It makes me feel shame

Poetry is a putrid problem in people’s minds.

Poetry is as lame as the duck that lost its mother

And I really don’t want to write another.

Sometimes I wish poetry would run away

Or that it would be shot 

BANG

I’ve never been a fan of poetry 

I am the speaker speaking about how I don’t like poetry

I don’t like poetry, so I wrote a poem on how I don’t like it

Overall tone of my poem is dislike 

The big ball of burning gas

That keeps us alive

Like a mother and her baby.

The sun leaps over us 

Horizon to horizon

And gives us light 

So that we might

Make it through the night

To await a sunrise

And with it

A new beginning 

If we could hear it

The sun would be singing us a lullaby 

But wake us up by BEEP-BEEP-BEEPing

As light rains down like cats and dogs

And we go about our daily life

We should pause

And thank the sun

For being a big burning ball

That allows us to have fun with all!

 

The photo I originally chose was a beautiful sunset up in lake of the woods, canada, where my cabin is and it is my happy place so i decided to pair my poem with it! Sadly, i was very confused on how i could get that photo that i took onto this document. 

I want to convey that the sun is important and has a huge role in our lives

I took the original photo because it was a sight to see but this one just comes up under sunsets on google

In my poem i used rhyme, simile, personification, and alliteration, along with idiom, to convey how i felt.
