The poem, “Who Has Seen the Wind?” by Christina Rossetti, is about how the wind passes. Nobody can actually see the wind, but you can feel it. The mood is calm because of the soft wind. This reminds me of when you are on a boat, the wind feels like it is compelling you away. The lesson is to like the wind, the wind can melt your bad thoughts away. It is like a dancer on a stage. Just plain beautiful!
The poem, “If~,” by Rudyard Kipling, is about if things happen will you show grace. The mood is powerful, because if you don’t then bad things will happen. This reminds me of real life. If you feel useless, then people will treat you like that. The lesson is to believe in yourself, trust others, and show kindness. The person is talking to a young boy.
I really just have to choose “Who Has Seen the Wind?” It shows personification like, “but when the leaves hang trembling,” that wouldn’t actually happen. The poem also uses rhyme scheme of ABCC. This poem makes me feel very peaceful.

The poem,” Choosing Shoes,” by Ffrida Wolfe, is about a person who is trying to figure out what type of shoes does he want and what color. The mood of this poem is joyful and energetic. I think the meaning of this poem is like everyone is a shoe, everyone is different and special in their own way.
ReplyDeleteThe next poem,”This Is Just To Say,” by William Carlos Williams, is about a person who is apologizing to someone with a poem about food. The mood of this poem is sorry and forgiveful. The meaning of this poem is always apologize when you did something wrong or bad.
I choose,”Choosing Shoes,” because I like the rhyme scheme AAAB. Also, I like how every word sounds good in every sentence. Finally the meaning is more deep I think. That is why,”Choosing Shoes,” is the clear winner.

The first poem,”This Is Just to Say,” by William Carlos Williams, was about a person wanting forgiveness after eating the frozen plums that the other person was probably saving for breakfast.I think the mood was hopeful trying to not get mad at for eating the ice plums.Finally, I think the author's purpose was trying to get the person reading this to be entertained and wanting to find out more.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, “Choosing Shoes,” by Ffrida Wolfe, was about choosing shoes.Also, the ones they really or actually wanted, the better shoes were not the ones they got.They got the ones they didn’t want, the boring, flat, and fat shoes was what she got.
I choose the second poem,”Choosing Shoes,” because of all the detail about the shoes.The pointy shoes, the buckle shoes, and the tap dance shoes.Also it gave excellent rhyme scheme.The rhyme scheme was in the sentence, here’s an example.Stump-along-like-that shoes, Wipe-them-on-the-mat shoes.See,also it really put a great picture in my mind, the picture really helped me choose the winner because the other poem didn’t put a picture in my mind at all.
