3. Based on the criteria, which poem did you choose and WHY?

Here is an example of an advanced/proficient blog post:

The poem,”This Is Just to Say,” by William Carlos Williams, is an apology by the author about eating someone’s plums. The mood is humorous and the poem is very ridiculous. It is teaching people a lesson to not touch or eat other people’s things without asking.

The poem,”Choosing Shoes,” by Frida Wolfe, is about a person who is trying to choose the perfect show but can’t decide on a pair. The poem doesn’t really have a mood but it is teaching us that nothing is perfect like everything else.

I chose,”Choosing Shoes,” as the winner because I liked how it showed an example that everything is not perfect because the person couldn’t find the perfect shoes. I thought that was very interesting how the author choose shoes as an example. Anyhow, I liked the rhyme scheme (AAAB) because it went perfectly with the poem. It also had a simile when it said,”Stump-along-like-that shoes.” This poem should definitely be the winner.

  1. The first poem I read was called “The Castle in the Fire” by Mary Jane Carr. The mood of this poem was fantasy and entertainment. The meaning of this poem was to entertain the readers with a cool story about a knight fighting a dragon. I liked the writer's craft of how he described the battle. It really put a picture in my mind. I enjoyed this poem.

    The second poem I read was called, “Do you Carrot all for me?” by UNKNOWN. The mood of this poem was funny and entertaining. The meaning of this story was to entertain readers with a funny story filled with homophones. I liked the writer's craft of how he/she used homophones to explain the poem.

    For the winner I choose “The Castle in the Fire” by Mary Jane Carr.I enjoyed the rhyme scheme of ABCB. It was an entertaining poem that really painted a picture in my mind of the dragon fighting the knight. This poem is definitely a winner!!!

  2. The first poem, “The Castle in the Fire,” by Mary Jane Carr, is about the narrator is telling a story about a castle being guarded by dragons with a princess trapped inside. Then a knight comes and saves the princess. After that, they have happy ending.

    The second poem, “ Do you carrot at all for me,” by Anonymous, is about the narrator writing a poem that has to do with love and veggies + fruits. The writer uses veggies and fruits for compliments for example, “ My heart beets for you” so it’s basically used a homophone.

    I chose,”Do you carrot all for me,” by Anonymous, because I think it’s more clever, like how he used beets instead of beats. It also shows imagery for example: “ And your radish face” doesn’t it make you think of a radish? This poem is definitely the best out of the pear.

  3. The first poem, “Do You Carrot All For Me?” is about a vegetable talking to the other one, and wondering if the other vegetable cares at all for him.The mood is goofy because there are phrases that say stuff related to vegetables, and fruits like the title.


    The second poem, “The Castle In The Fire,” by Mary Jane Carr is about a castle with a princess in it and dragons guarding the entrance. A knight comes and saves the princess. I think the mood is heroic because the knight comes and saves the princess from the dragons.


    I choose the first poem, “Do You Carrot All For Me,” because I like the meaning of the story. I also like the metaphors that are in the story like, “With your turnip nose.” I also like the imagery because I could see in my mind how the carrot with the the turnip nose and the radish face looked like. “Do You Carrot All For Me,” is a definite winner.

  4. The poem, “The Castle in the Fire,” by Mary Jane Carr, was about knight fighting dragons and then the castle lites on fire.So, when the smoke clears the family sees the knight riding happily away with a lady.The lady was probably a princess who he saved from a castle like a fairy tail.
    The poem, “Do You Carrot all for me?” by Anonymous, was hilarious in my opinion.Also, I thought it was very entertaining from all the detail and words it used to make it so great and hilarious.Lastly, it was a very good poem when it used all sorts of words to make it funny and entertaining and making me wanting to read it not because I have to.
    I choose the poem,”Do you carrot all for me?” because it was so funny and I really enjoyed it.The reasons I enjoyed it were the rhyme scheme in the way it was used.Also, it used excellent choice of words to me, like beets instead of beats, carrot instead of care at, and lettuce marry instead of let us marry.Next, it used great funniness like beets, cantaloupe, lettuce marry, and swell pear.Lastly, it was a great poem overall because it was a good poem putting in funniness, and rhyme scheme, and its spazz and like PoP!This is why I choose,”Do you carrot all for me?”

  5. The first poem,”This Is Just To Say” is a great poem. It is about a person that is apologizing about eating someone's plums. The person said that they were also very tasty and good. After that he said I am sorry. The mood of this poem is being sorry about what you did wrong. The meaning of this poem is to send a message saying the he is sorry.



    The second poem,”choosing shoes” I loved it has a great rhythm I can tap my foot to. It had great rhymes too. The mood of this poem is playful, great, and just having a great day. It is about choosing shoes and with a great rhythm.



    I pick as my winner,”choosing shoes” because I could tap my foot to it and it had great rhymes. The rhyme scheme is AAABCCCD and so on. The writer’s craft is rhythm and rhyming.

  6. “Do you carrot all for me” is about a guy who is asking a woman to marry him.The mood is romantic and playful because he is asking her to marry him with saying vegetables instead of saying the real word.

    “ The Castle in the Fire,” by Mary Jane Carr, is about true love because the knight rode into the dragon and fight for the lady.I think the mood is romance because the knight was very brave to do that.

    I choses “Do you correct for me” as the winner because it has personification in the whole poem. Here is one line ,“My heart beets for you”. I also like the rhyme scheme which is A B C D E F G H. I like that it also has repetition like your and for. The winner is “ Do you carrot
    all for me”.

  11. The first poem, “Do you Carrot All for me,” is about a person who wants to know if the other person cares about them. I think the mood of this poem is love. For example, the text says, “My heart beats for you.”I think the meaning is caring for people. For example, in the text it says “Do you carrot all for me.”
    The second poem “The Castle In the fire” is about a castle that is on fire and there is a woman looking out the turret’s window then a knight saves her. I think the mood is bravery, because the knight ran into the fire to save the woman. I think the meaning of this poem is caring. For example, the knight ran into the fire because he cared about the woman.
    I chose the poem “The Castle in the Fire” because it has very good imagery. For example, it says “A gallant knight came riding.” This poem also has alliteration. For example, “Then we watched in wonder” THat is why I chose this poem.

  12. I read a poem called “The Castle in the Fire” about a castle on fire because a dragon set it on fire. The emotion is magical because dragons are mystical creatures. The rhyme scheme is ABCB.


    I read another poem called “Do you carrot all for me?” about someone who wrote a love letter to someone else except instead of using normal words they used vegetables because why not?!! The emotion is funny because it has some really great puns and also loving because it is a love letter.


    I have to choose “Do you carrot all for me?” because of its great use of puns. It has a wonderful metaphor. The metaphor is “You are a peach.” It was one of my favorite poems.

  13. The poem,”Do You Carrot All For Me,” is about a person writing a love note and instead of saying do you care for me they said do you carrot for me. Also, in the poem person he’s writing to is a peach. The mood of this poem is silly and romantic. The meaning of this poem is a love poem can be as creative as you want it to be.
    The next poem,”The Castle in the Fire,” by Mary Jane Carter, is about a dragon guarding the princess cause she got captured, and then comes a night who saves the lovely princess. The mood of this poem is serious and romantic. The meaning of this poem is that the good guys always win.
    I choose ”The Castle in the Fire” because I like the story better. Also, I like the rhyme scheme, ABCB. Finally there is imagery for example it says ,”The back log crashed in two.” That is why,”The Castle in the Fire,” is a clear winner.

  14. The first poem, “Do you Carrot All for me?” by Anonymous, is a love poem in fruit and vegetable form! This poem was very funny and entertaining. I enjoyed the line, “We would be a perfect pear!” I thought that was funny.

    The second poem, “The Castle in the Fire” by Mary Jane Carr, is another love poem. This one is more serious though. This poem was very pretty and magical. I enjoyed how this one was more magical.

    There is doubt that “Do Carrot All for me?” is the winner. They used personification with the line, “And your radish face.” This was a very funny and interesting poem. They also had a metaphor which was, “You are a peach,” They’re comparing the person to a peach! This is why I chose this poem.

  15. The poem “The Castle in the Fire,” by Mary Jane Carr, is about a castle in a fire. Then a knight comes to save the lady, and the knight just barely makes it out . The mood of the poem is sadness because a castle catches on fire, but they make it out safely together.
    The poem “Do you Carrot all for me,” by Anonymous, is about a person writing a love poem making words into fruits and vegetables. The mood of the poem is happiness because it is a love note to someone he cares about.
    I like “Do you Carrot all for me” because it is funny how the author made two words into one food. The author also used a lot of personification. For example, “ We will make a swell pear.” There is also metaphor because the poem says “You are like a peach.” There is also no rhyme scheme because every line is different. That is why I like “Do you Carrot all for me.”

  20. The first poem,”Do you carrot all for me?” by Anonymous, is a like a love letter but the some of the words are food, and it goes perfectly with the poem. The mood is loving, but it doesn’t really teach you a lesson because it seems to be like a letter of some sort type.
    The second poem,”The Castle in the Fire,” by Mary Jane Carr, is about this castle on fire and a bunch of dragons are guarding it. The is a princess inside castle! Then, a knight comes and rescues her. The mood is like suspense and it doesn’t really have a lesson like the first poem because it pretty much like if someone is telling you about your.
    I chose ”Do you carrot all for me?” as the winner because I liked how it used fruits and vegetables in the poem. It had personification when it was using food as words. Also, it had a metaphor,”You are a peach.” This poem should be the winner.

    In the poem, “The Castle in the Fire” by Mary Jane Carr, is about a big fight. The knight and the princess got into a fight and they managed to get away. The dragons were guarding the old enchanted castle . This poem is very magical.

    I have to choose, “Do you carrot all for me?” because I love the wording of food! I also like when I read I picture this before a proposal. I can imagine bunnies doing this! This puts a very cute picture in my head. It uses a metaphor “You are a peach.”-Maggie Kate #6

    The First poem “Do You Carrot all for me?” by Anonymous and is about a vegetable love poem.

    The second poem “ The Castle in the Fire” by Mary Jane Carr is about a burning castle and a princess and a knight comes to save her and at the end he walks off with her and keeps her. I think the author was probably thinking of a ferry tale.

    I chose “The Castle in the Fire” because I don’t like vegetables. The rhyme scheme is ABCB. There is alliteration, for example, “While we watched in wonder.” This poem should have v victory.

  24. The first poem “Do You Carrot At All For Me” is about a person telling another person that they love them by using vegetables here’s an example “My heart beats for you With your turnip nose.”

    The second poem “the Castle In The Fire” is about a castle that has dragons in it. And a lady is in a window watching. Then a knight comes in goes up to the crouching dragons and attacks then they dissapear.

    I choose the second poem “The Castle In The Fire” because it has alliteration. An example is “while we watched in wonder”. I also like the ending “Riding away together the lady and the Knight”. I also like it because he used detail.

  25. The mood of the first poem “Do you carrot all for me?,” is funny because it replaces real words and meanings with food. I think the meaning of the poem is love because it is a love poem. For example “My hearts beets for you.”

    The mood of the second poem “The Castle in the Fire,” is brave and ferse. Because he is trying to save the women and he does. I think the meaning of the poem is love because he saves the women and he didn't have to do that.

    I chose “Do you carrot all for me?,” because it is funny and you can understand the words easily. One metaphor is “you are a peach.” Also one personification is “with your turnip nose. I hope this is the winner.

  27. “The Castle In The Fire,” by Mary Jane Carr, is about a old town and the knights fighting a dragon. The mood is love and violence because the men are fighting and then they catch a glimpse of the princess and stop fighting for a second. Then they kill the dragon.



    “ Do You Carrot for me?” by Anonymous, is about a man asking someone “do you care for me ?”but he doesn't say it like that. The mood is love and a little bit silly.



    My pick is “The Castle In The Fire” because one, I like dragons , and two, I think it is a good poem. There is imagery it is when the nights see the princess.

  28. ‘’Do you Carrot all for me’’ is by Anonymous. It is about a guy who really likes a girl. He is asking a girl if she likes him.

    ‘’The Castle in the Fire’’ is by Mary Jane Carr. It is about Two dragons guarding a castle. In the castle there is a lady. How the lady got out was by a knight who fought the dragons.

    I think ‘’The Castle in the Fire’’ is better because the mood it can be anything. I think this because you can take it from anyone perspective. For example if you were looking at the ladies perspective it would be hopeful for the knight. I also like the onomatopoeia. For example crashed and thrusting. THis is why I chose ‘’ The Castle in the Fire.’’

  29. The first poem,”Do you carrot all for me?,”by Anonymous is about how the person is saying do you care at all for me. It is using veggies in the phases, for example,”My heart beets for you, With your turnip nose,And your radish face, You are a peach.If we cantaloupe, Lettuce marry.” The mood of the story is love because he is asking her to get marry him.

    The second poem,”The Castle in the Fire,”by Mary Jane Carr is about How a girl is stuck in a tower and can not get out because dragons are blocking the way to get out. A knight on his house kills the dragons and saves the girl from the dragons.I think the mood of the story is scary because the girl was stuck in the tower, and then it turned happy because the knight saved her from the dragon.

    I choose “The Castle in the fire” because I like how the author used a rhyme scheme, A,B,C,B e.t.c. I also like when the author used aliterateration for example “A ladys lovely locks.” This why I choose this poem.

  31. The first poem, “The Castle In The Fire,” by Mary Jane Carr. It is about a girl who is stuck in a tower, and there are dragons guarding the door way. Then a knight comes, and kills the dragons, and sets the girl free. I think the mood depends on who’s perspective your looking at. If you look at the knights perspective the mood would be intense because he’s fighting the dragons, and trying to save the lady. If you look at it from the lady’s perspective the mood would be hopeful because she is stuck in the tower and needs someone to save her. If you look at it from the dragons perspective the mood would be overconfident because they were overconfident they were going to win the fight.


    The second poem, “Do You Carrot At All For Me,” by Anonymous. It is about a guy who like a girl, and is asking her if she like him back, but he’s using food name to describe why he likes her. I think the mood is loving because he is basically asking her to marry him when he
    Says, “lettuce us get marry.” He used the food lettuce to ask her to marry him.


    I chose the first poem, “The Castle In The Fire,” by Mary Jane Carr. It is about a girl that is trapped in a tower and can’t get down. There are two dragons guarding the door way so she couldn’t get down. Then a knight comes and saves the day, and kills the dragons. He saves the girl, and they ride away together. “The Castle And The Fire” has a rhyme scheme of ABCBDEFE and so on. It uses alliteration such as “Ladies Lovely” and more.

  32. The first poem,” Do You Carrot All For Me?” Is by Anonymous, is a fruits and vegetables poem with words that would make since alone, like for example,”Do you carrot all for me? My heart beets for you.” The word,”carrot” is a vegetable but, ”Care at” is really how it would go, because,” Carrot” and,” Care at” are homophones. The meaning is to entertain readers about fruits and vegetable homophones. The mood is romantic, because it says,” Lettuce marry; Weed make a swell pear.” It talks about someone asking to get married and saying that they would be perfect together.

    The second poem,”The Castle In The Fire” by Mary Jane Carr, is a fairytale story about a knight seeing a castle on fire and him rushing towards the castle. He fought dragons and to get her, and he finally got her out. The repudiation is in the poem a lot, for example they have it saying,”And” a lot, and “He” a lot of times. The mood was brave, because the knight took the risk of getting hurt just to save someone he didn’t even know.

    I choose,”Do You Carrot All For Me?” I choose this one because I loved the homophones. For example the line,”My heart beets for you,” has a homophone, the homophone is beet. The way they were using it was a food, but the real way is heartbeat. I also loved the mood which was, romantic. This one was a clear winner!

  33. The first poem, “The Castle in the Fire” , is about a castle burning by a dragon and there is a lady in the castle but then a knight fights the dragon and comes out with the lady. I think the mood is seirios because it sounds seirios.
    The second poem, “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me”, is about a person talking about what she/he is scared about. I think the mood is happy.
    I choose,”The Castle in the Fire”, because it sounds more interesting. The rhyme scheme is ABCB.
