Your post needs to include the following:
1. What is the meaning of the first poem? (Summarize in one sentence)
2. What is the meaning of the second poem? (Summarize in one sentence)
3. Based on the criteria, which poem did you choose and WHY?
***Please tell me everything you think, but use your best writing.
Here is an example of proficient writing:
“Who Has seen The Wind” is about how you can not see wind, but nature shows you when there is wind by the trees moving and the leaves falling. I think everybody can tell when there is wind if they pay attention to nature. I noticed that it was first person.
The second poem I read was “If.” It is about a dad telling his kid that if he follows these rules he will be a great man. I feel like this is also a lesson to tell readers to be the best man they can by doing the right thing. I noticed that it was first person.
I pick “Who Has Seen The Wind” as the winner because it used personification. For example, one sentence was, “But when trees bow down their heads”. Another reason why is because it used alliteration. For example, one sentence was, “Neither you nor I”. My third reason why is because it used repetition. For example, every four lines it used who at the beginning of the sentence. I hope that “Who Has Seen The Wind” wins!
The first poem,” Who Has Seen the Wind,” is about how you can not see the wind. You can see what causes it but you can’t see it.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem,” If~,” is about how a Dad is telling a son that that not everybody will believe him.
My winner is,” Who Has Seen the Wind,” the rhyme scheme is ABCB and tells why you can’t see the wind.
The first poem I read was “Choosing Shoes.” It is about all kinds of shoes, and so many to choose from. It asks what YOU would choose if you got to pick out any of those.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read was “This Is Just to Say.” It is about a person who ate all of the plums in the icebox, that someone was probably saving for breakfast.
I chose “Choosing Shoes” as the winner. I have many reasons for picking it. I like the repetition, I like how the author came up with so many types of shoes, and I like the rhyme scheme AAAB. I thought it was very good, and I hope it wins!
ReplyDeleteThe first poem I read was called, “This is Just to Say”. It is about a man telling someone that he was the one who ate the plums. The rhyme scheme was ABCD.
The second poem I read was called, “Choosing Shoes”. This poem is about all kinds of different shoes, and they are unique in their own way.
I choose, “Choosing Shoes”. I like this poem because the author had lots of rhymes. It also has repetition. They say “Shoes” a lot of times.
“Choosing Shoes” is about a person choosing all these shoes.
ReplyDelete“ This Is Just to Say “ is about someone just saying that they ate a plum.
The winner should be “ Choosing Shoes “ because it reminds me of a Doctor Suess book I had when I was little. It a;so has rhyme scheme, it is A A A B A A A B A A A B C A A A B.
The first poem I read was “This Is Just to Say.” It is about a person that eats someone’s plums and they ask for forgiveness. And before you eat someone’s plums for breakfast to ask them first. I think the writer wrote this poem to tell other readers to not eat somebody’s plums in the morning.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read was called”Choosing Shoes.” It is about a person going to get some shoes and is thinking of when kind they’ll get. They are thinking about white shoes, house shoes, almost any shoes, but when they get there they see that they only have flat shoes, fat shoes, wipe-them-on-the-mat-shoes. I think the writer wrote this poem to tell readers to not get so excited about shoe shopping.
I think the winner is “Choosing Shoes” because it has a lot of writers craft. For example, one of the writer's craft is they have good rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme is AAAB. another example is they have good alliteration. For example, buckle shoes, bow shoes, dandy-dance-by-night-shoes. I chose “Choosing Shoes” because it had good rhyme scheme, I hope “Choosing Shoes” wins!
The first poem I read was “This Is Just To Say.” It is a poem in first person about someone telling someone else about the sweet, cold, prunes that the second person was going to have for breakfast and how the first person ate them. I hope for the first person’s sake that the second person wasn’t that passionate for prunes!
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, “Choosing Shoes,” is a poem in first person as well as “This Is Just To Say.” It is about someone in a shoe store trying on new shoes, and trying to find a good pair. She describes the shoes as red, blue, buckle, bow, bright, white, pointy-toed, strappy, a little too tight, and so much more. Then she finds the kind of shoes her parents are buying: flat and fat. I hope she will find some she likes!
I think very strongly that “Choosing Shoes” is the winner because it has a rhyme scheme of AAABCCCBDDDBEEEEB throughout the poem. It also gives the shoes lots of description. Lastly, like “Casey At The Bat,” it makes you feel like it’s all great, sunshine, and rainbows, but it is not.
“Choosing Shoes” should win!

ReplyDelete“This Is Just to Say” was the first poem I read. It was about how one person has eaten a plum that someone else was saving. They were saying they were sorry and for the person to forgive them.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read was, “Chosing Shoes.” This poem is about how the person wants to get colorful and playful shoes, but their parents want them to buy shoes that arent colorful or playful.
I think the winner is “Choosing Shoes.” The reason I chose Chosing Shoes is because it has repition, alliteration, and rhyme scheme. Repition is used when they say “New shoes, new shoes.” Alliteration is used when it says “pointy pointy.” The rhyme scheme is AAAB.
The first poem I read was “This Is Just To Say”. “This Is Just To Say” is about a boy or girl who ate someone's plum, and saying sorry because he thought the other person would eat it for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read was “Choosing Shoes”. “Choosing Shoes” is about a person who if she/he should buy any shoes which one would they choose. It has many shoes with great rhyme scheme.
I choose “Choosing Shoes” because its rhyme scheme for the first paragraph is A,A,A,B. It also has repetition by saying it shoes over and over again. Don’t forget it has alliteration, by saying pretty-pointy. I also think it is cool because it shows that there are many shoes in the world. It reminds me of Red Fish Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss.
The first poem I read was “Choosing Shoes.” It is about choosing the best type of new shoes. It gives us many varieties to choose from. For example, it is giving us regular shoes to dance shoes. I noticed that it was second person because it was talking to us.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read was “This Is Just To Say.” It is about someone who ate plums that somebody was saving for breakfast. He described the plum as sweet, cold, and delicious. Even though the plum was delicious, I think he felt bad and sorry because somebody was saving it for breakfast. I noticed that is was first person because it used pronouns like I and me.
I pick “Choosing Shoes” as the winner because it used imagery. For example, every time it brought up a new shoe I pictured it in my head. Another reason why is because it used repetition. For example, it brought up shoes a lot in the poem. My third reason why is because it used alliteration. For example, one sentence was “Buckle shoes, white shoes”. My final reason is because I liked the rhyme scheme of AAABAAABAAABCAAAB. I hope that “Choosing Shoes” wins!!!!!
The first poem, “This is Just to Say,”is about someone is telling the reader that they had eaten all of the plumbs from the ice box.
ReplyDelete“Choosing Shoes,” is about a colored person wanting to choose all different types of shoes but can’t.
I think “Choosing Shoes,” is the winner by far because it uses repetition. For example it uses the word shoes a ton of times. Also it has rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme for the first stanza is ,AAAB. That is why I think “Choosing Shoes,” should win.
ReplyDelete“This Is Just to Say” is about a boy who ate plums in the ice box which were cold, sweet, and delicious, which someone was probably saving to have for breakfast and how he wants them to forgive him. I think this was written to entertain readers with a silly story about someone who ate plums when they weren’t supposed to.
The second poem I read, “Choosing Shoes,” is about someone who wanted to choose shoes but couldn’t and how the person would choose bright shoes or white shoes but another person would choose fat shoes or flat shoes. I think this poem was written to entertain readers about a story about choosing from lots of shoes.
I choose “Choosing Shoes” because it reminds me of a Doctor Suess book I have. The author used alliteration when they said “Dandy-dance-by-night shoes,” and “Pretty pointy-toe shoes.” My next reason is because the author used repetition when repeating the word shoes. Also, the author used rhyme scheme. The first stanza it was AAAB. “Choosing Shoes” was a great poem, and I hope it wins.
“This Is Just to Say” is about someone who ate the plums that were in the icebox. The person who ate the plums is apologizing that they ate someone's breakfast. I think that the person who ate the plums isn’t really sorry that they ate the plums. The person says “ Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold.” That is what “This Is Just to Say” is about.
ReplyDelete“Choosing Shoes” is about how there are so many types of shoes to choose from at a store. The character is talking about who buys which shoes other people will buy. The author used repetition by repeating the word shoes a lot. The author uses alliteration by saying “Dandy-dance.” The rhyme scheme is AAAB. I always have had a hard time choosing shoes at a store. I always look for the shoes that look cool. I will always look for the brands that I like next. I then do a process of elimination for which shoes I’ll get. That is what I think the poem “Choosing Shoes,” is about.
I pick “This Is Just to Say” as the winner of this matchup. I love how the author has a funny approach to the poem. Also, I like how the author has a very uncommon rhyme scheme it is ABCD. This poem reminds me of a book of poems that my sister had that were about pretending to be sorry. It also reminds me of the song, “Sorry not Sorry,” by Demi Lovato. I like how the author made the poem unique by not having that much writer's craft. I think that the character is being sarcastic when he asks for forgiveness. I sometimes do this to my brother and sister. The author keeps me entertained throughout the poem. I hope, “This Is Just to Say,” wins this hard fought matchup!
“This Is Just to Say is about someone who ate the plums that were in the ice box.(refrigerator) She/he was not supposed to eat them because it was supposed to be someone else’s breakfast. She/he said forgive me, but they were too delicious, so sweet and cold. This poem was funny!
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read was, “Choosing Shoes.” It’s about all the types of shoes you can get, and how colorful they are. They say there are “Red and pink and blue shoes. Buckle shoes, bow shoes, pretty pointy toe shoes, strappy, cappy low shoes, but flat shoes, fat shoes, stump- along -like that shoes, wipe-them -on-the- mat shoes. That’s the sort they’ll buy.”
I choose “Choosing Shoes” because it uses rhyme scheme, repetition and alliteration. For example, the rhyme scheme for the first stanza is AAAB. Some alliteration is “Buckle shoes, bow shoes.” Some repetition is “New shoes, new shoes.” The point of view is first person. This is a really funny book. It should definitely win!

For me the winner is “This Is Just to Say,” by William Carlos Williams. Because I don’t like what the author wrote about in “Choosing Shoes,”. Also I think it's funny and ironic that someone apologizes and then goes into say that the plums were delicious. I like the poem, “This Is Just to Say,” by William Carlos Williams.
