Here is an example of proficient writing:
The first poem, Do You Carrot All For Me?, is about someone who wants to get married. The person keeps using his favorite foods to describe how much he loves her, and what their life is going to be like.
The second poem, The Castle in the Fire, is telling a story about a knight fighting a dragon to save a princess. This story is really thrilling with a lot of fighting.
I liked Do You Carrot All For Me? because even though it had no rhyme scheme, it used funny little food jokes to paint a picture in your mind. Also, it makes you smile a little bit. I also like it because the author used metaphors between foods and face features. For example, he says she has "radish" hair instead of "reddish" hair.
