The first poem, Roger The Dog, is about a dog who is very lazy and won't get up. He uses all of his strength to eat food, so this dog is not the healthy type.
The second poem, The Falling Star, is about a boy who spots a shooting star falling through the sky and explains that it is priceless, memorable, and to be forever gone out of his life.
I think that the winner is the poem, The Falling Star. The reason I chose this poem is because it has great imagery, like when the woman stated,"Blinding the north as it went by".
