  1. I think, Do You Carrot All For Me?, should win because it is really funny and I like how they used vegetables to say the word.

    I can make a connection with this poem, this poet is using different words to say what he is saying and I do that sometimes too.

    I also think Do You Carrot All For Me? should win because of the rhyme Scheme,A B C D, It is totally different which makes it unique. This is why Do You Carrot All For Me? should win.

  2. think Roger The Dog means more to me. It tells how he is lazy and just sits around. Sometimes you just have to let them take a break.

    My connection to Roger The Dog is, I used to have a dog that sat around on the couch all day and never got up. The only time he gets up is when he sits outside my door till I wake up.

    I enjoy Roger The Dos poet craft better. The rhyme scheme of the whole poem is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. There is alliteration, dinner dish,flops flat.

  5. For the winning poem I choose Do You Carrot All For Me because I think it tells a good deal about how you should express your feelings toward another person.

    I also liked it because I can connect with it. I think my Mom expresses herself to me way too much!

    I also liked it because it used poet's craft. It had metaphors. For example, "You are a peach." Is something it said and I thought, "Wow! I saw a metaphor! Yippee!"

    That is why I choose Do You Carrot All For Me as the winner.

    If I had a dog it would be exactly like Rodger

    It had a really good rhythm

    That's why I think Roger The Dog should win.

  7. Choose Roger the dog because I have more of a connection with it. I have a very lazy dog that likes to eat and sleep, her name is Maggie Moo. I also really like this one because it's about dogs. Last but not least I like the rhyme scheme (AABBCCDDEEFFGGHH) That is why I choose Roger the dog.

  9. I think Do You Carrot All For Me has a better meaning because it teaches you how to make good puns while telling someone something.

    I have a connection to Do You Carrot All For Me. In the poem there was a lot of good puns the other day I made two good puns while my dad was setting up the bee farm. 1 don't bug them they won't bug you. 2 just let them be.

    I like the rhyme scheme ABCDEFAG.

    I chose Do You Carrot All For Me!

  10. I think Roger the Dog's meaning is deeper to me because it talks about a man who loves his dog but never gets to do anything with him because a Roger does is sleep and eat which kinda makes it a lose lose situation.

    A connection I can make is that when I want to play with my dog she usually just ignores me.

    I enjoy this poems poets craft more because of its kinda funny metaphors. For example, "He's just a sack of snoring dog." which kind of makes me giggle a bit. I also love the rhyme scheme of AA AA. So I choose Roger the Dog

  12. I think that Roger The Dog should win because I think that it has a better meaning and makes more sense than Do You Carrot All For Me because I don't get the meaning of Do You Carrot All For Me.

    scheme in Roger The Dog is AA BB CC DE FF GG HH II. I hope that

  13. Roger the Dog is about a really lazy dog that is lazy and will not do anything.

    I can relate to this because my dogs are pretty lazy and lay down. But they can be really energetic.

    The author used used AA BB For example,asleep he wheezes at his ease
    he only wakes to scratch his fleas. He hogs the fire, he bakes his head.
    As it were a loaf of bread.

  15. The poem that has more of a meaning to me is, Do You Carrot All For Me, because it's talking about love and feelings of a person. Roger The Dog is talking about laziness.

    The poem I can make a connection with is, Roger The Dog, because I am a lazy person too and I don't like to do much that involves doing a lot of work.

    The poem I choose is, Roger The Dog, even though it has a bad meaning I like it a lot also because of it's poet's craft. One of the poets I like is the rhyme scheme (AABBCC). The other reason I like it because it uses similes like "He bakes his head as if it were a loaf of bread." The poet's craft and the connection I made are the reason I think Roger The Dog should win.

  16. I think that Do You Carrot All For Me should win because of the puns. It is about someone wanting to marry a person through puns. It's unique but in my opinion is a better meaning than a dog sleeping.

    I can make a connection because I used to say a pun that went like this, "Orange you glad I'm here." I know everyone knows it, but this poem reminded me of it.

    There is a metaphor using the vegetables as puns. There is no rhyme scheme, which makes the poem unique. I loved the puns, and it was an overall winner because of the metaphors/puns.

  17. Roger the Dog means more to me because he is just like my dog Sam. He will come into the same room as you, and lay down right in front of you, and when you get up you have forgotten that he is there so you fall over him.


    One connection that I have with roger the dog is that my dog is just like him. He uses all his energy when he eats. The one thing they don't have in common is that Sam loves to be outside!! He would stay outside all day if you let him!


    I like that the writer's craft includes a rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme is A,A for each stanza. I also like that the writers craft includes alliteration for the words he and you.

  18. I think Do you Care at all for Me has a deeper meaning because it is showing that you can express something to someone through anything even fruit puns.
    I can make a connection with Who Has Seen the Wind because even though I can't see the wind I always know it is there.
    I liked Who Has Seen the Wind's poet craft better because I like the Personification of the "When the trees bow down their heads."
    My winner is... Who Has Seen the Wind.
