I think “Choosing Shoes” should win it all. I think so because it is more relatable. My connection is that choosing shoes is hard because of the different types. The poem talks about the different types and how good they are! I love that it has a rhyme scheme of AAAB. I think rhyme scheme can put a beat to a song, and it does!-Maggie Kate #6

DeleteI agree!
DeleteI think “Do you carrot all for me?” will win. I can make a connection to this poem. My connection is that I have the most sappy puns from the tree. The poet’s craft that I like is also from “Do you carrot all for me.” The poet’s craft is the metaphor. The metaphor is “You are a peach.” I just know that “Do you carrot all for me?” will win.

The poem, “Choosing Shoes,” by Ffrida Wolfe, should absolutely win! It is a glorious poem. It is fun and energetic as well. I connect to the poem because I also think it is very fun to pick the perfect pair of shoes. Sure it might take a while to pick the perfect pair, but it’s worth it! (Sometimes). I like the sign of repetition this poem shows! For example, “Choosing shoes,” repeats in the poem. I had to pick this fun poem as the champion!
ReplyDeleteI think the poem that should win the championship should be ”Choosing New Shoes.” I choose this poem because I liked all of the not random and the random shoes to wear, and I think this poem is really good to. I would suggest this poem.
ReplyDeleteI can connect to this poem by when it puts out a lot of random things like I sometimes do when I with my friends or family. I think this one should definitely win the championship.
The writer's craft of ”Choosing New Shoes ” is repetition it says,” New shoes, new shoes.” That is what the writer's craft that I see.

I think the poem, “Choosing Shoes,” should win the championship.
ReplyDeleteI connect to this poem because it tells about all the types of shoes. For example, “Stappy, cappy low shoes.” I like the poets craft because it has repitition. For example, “Shoes.” I also really like the rhyme scheme. For example, AAAB… Finally I really like the alliteration. For example, “Pretty Pointy Toe Shoes.” “Choosing Shoes” should win.

I think “Choosing Shoes” should win. It is cool with all the the different types of shoes and the buying of shoes. I don’t like vegetables and love stories so “Choosing Shoes” should win. It has rhyme scheme with “New shoes, new shoes, Red and pink and blue shoes.” And a connection is it reminds me of Barbie’s closet. I believe “Choosing Shoes” should win.
ReplyDeleteI think “Do you Carrot all For me?” should win the championship because it is funny and is about food, and who doesn't like food. I connect to the poem because I like to stay anonymous and I like food. I like the poet’s craft because there is a metaphor “you are a peach.”
ReplyDeleteI think ”Choosing Shoes,” by Ffrida Wolfe, should win the championship game. I connect to the poem because I always try to find the perfect pair of shoes too. I like the poet’s craft a lot too. Here are some examples of poets craft. For example, the poem has couplets. In the poem it says,”Red and pink and blue shoes. Tell me, what would you choose.” Also, this poem has alliteration. In the poem it says,”Pretty pointy toe shoes. That’s why this poem should win.

I chose”Choosing Shoes.” I think a lot of people can relate to this poem. I can relate to this poem, like when I go shopping it’s really hard for me to pick something that’s perfect.The writer’s craft is alliteration ,for example, ”Pretty Pointy”. Another writer’s craft is rhyme scheme, for example AAAB. This poem is a definite winner.

I think “Choosing Shoes,” by Ffrida Wolfe, should be the overall winner because it has amazing writer’s craft. For example, “Buckle shoes, bow shoes, Pretty pointy-toe shoes,” is an amazing example of alliteration. Also, I have a connection of everyday I have to choose out of my 2 pairs of shoes I can wear to school, but on weekends I have 5 pairs of shoes to choose from. I love “Choosing Shoes” because it is about something that sounds really cool and fun. That is why I think “Choosing shoes should win it all. Asher
ReplyDeleteI think “Choosing Shoes” should win because it shows a lot of detail. and it is really funny because it talks about all the shoes you can imagine.
ReplyDeleteI connect to this poem because when ever I go shoe shopping with my sister she wants the absolute perfect pair of shoes. I also connect to it when I go shoe shopping with my mom. She does the same thing that my sister does.
I like that he used alliteration because it's easy to understand, and he used couplets and I love couplets.
I think “Choosing Shoes” should win the championship because it has a great meaning! In the poem the person wanted the perfect shoes but they couldn’t find the perfect shoes. That’s a good look on what life is, no one is perfect. That is a good meaning. I also liked the writer’s craft. It had a great rhyme scheme of AAAB. It made the poem sound great! It also had imagery when it was talking about the different kinds of shoes. It would have been boring if it wasn’t talking about the different kinds of shoes. “Choosing Shoes” is clearly the winner.

I think the poem, “Do you carrot all for me?,” by Anonymous, should win because you can understand the meaning and it is funny. It is funny because it replaces real words with foods. One connection I can make is I eat food and the poem has food in it. For example “Do you carrot all for me?” replaced the word “care” with “carrot,”and it is all over the poem. What I like about the poet’s craft is you can see it write away for example I saw personification write away. It is “You are a peach.” That is why I think “Do you carrot all for me?” should win!

I think the poem, “Choosing Shoes,” should win because it was a perfect poem and was just my absolute favorite.Here’s a few reasons why.Writers craft, first the alliteration was a 5 star for me, because it it made the poem make more sense to me taking it all in and really taking out the good stuff.Second, the rhyme scheme was just fabulous and to me, pretty funny.Lastly, the quatrains were fantastic and totally made sense to me and helped the rhyme scheme and other stuff be so funny.

I think that the poem,”Choosing Shoes,” should win because it has alliteration. It is “pretty pointy shoes.” Also,I think this poem should win because it has a rhythm. I love that is has a rhythm because I can tap my foot to it. The rhyme scheme is AAAB. It also has repetition. It is “New Shoes.” I think that this poem is going to win the championship, and I hope it does.

For the winner, I choose “Roger the Dog,” by Ted Hughes. I choose this poem for the winner because of three reasons. First, this poem has amazing imagery and description because of how it describes his head as a loaf of bread being toasted by the fire. Second, this poem uses a unique version of personification when it says that his head was like a loaf of bread baking by the fire, dog’s heads aren’t loafs of bread! Third, I love the writer's craft of AABBCCDDEEFFGGHH in this poem. I totally think that “Roger the Dog” should win the championship game.
ReplyDelete-Buck
I think”Choosing Shoes ”should win because the poem is about what shoes you should wear, and that there are so many to choose from. I like how the author used a rhyme scheme of AAAB AAAB e.t.c. The author also uses alliteration for example “Dandy Dance shoes.” The author uses repetition for example”shoes.” This is the over all winner.

I think that “ Choosing Shoes” should win because it is very fun to read out loud and in your head. A personal connection I can make is that when we are at the store I just want to have all of the shoes.The meaning is that you shouldn’t judge a person (shoe) by how it looks ,but how it feels.I also like that it is like practically made up of alliteration like in this line it said ,“Wipe -them-on-the-mat shoes.” That is why “Choosing Shoes” is the win of March Madness!

For the champion game I choose ‘’Choosing Shoes.’’ I chose this because of the humoris rhymes. For example, ‘’Bright shoes white shoes dandy dance by the night shoes’’ or ‘’Flat shoes flat stomp along that shoes.’’ One other reason I chose this was because of the quatrains it had, four quatrains. The second reason I chose this is the rhyme scheme. For example, it is A-A-A-B. This is why I chose ‘’Choosing Shoes.’’
ReplyDeleteI pick “Roger The Dog” because I like the meaning, writer’s craft, and that I can make connections with the poem. I like the meaning of the poem because I like dogs, and I know a lot of people who have dogs that just eat and sleep. I an also make a T-S connection with “Roger The Dog” because my dog likes to just eat and sleep. I like the writer’s craft in “Roger The Dog” to because it has a lot of writer’s craft. Some of the writer’s craft I like is the couplets in the poem. I also like that this poem is very funny. “Roger The Dog” is a definite winner.

I think “Roger the Dog” should win because it is funny. I like this poem because of its alliteration when it says “Dig Down Deep” and “Flops Flat.” It also has a great rhyme scheme of AABB. This poem is better than “Choosing Shoes” because it’s a funnier and more entertaining poem. I think this poem should win.
ReplyDeleteThe overall winner has to be “Choosing Shoes” because well what's not to love about it? It has poets craft, such as, alliteration, “dandy-dance.” It has repetition, for example, “shoes” always repeats. It also reminds me of what I have either heard or seen before. For example, my brother always wants new shoes, even though he got new shoes last month he still wants new shoes. This poem should be the overall winner.

I think the poem, “Roger The Dog,” by Ted Hughes, should win because I can relate to Roger the dog. Roger reminds me of my Boxer Diesel. Diesel loves to sleep, but he’ll get up if he gets to eat food. This poem has a rhyme scheme of AABBCC and so on. This poem uses similes. For example, this is a simile “You can lug him like a log.” I like how this poem reminds me of Diesel. Even though I think “Choosing Shoes” should lose some may argue that “Choosing Shoes” should win. For example, the poem is about shoes. I mean who doesn’t like shoes, but I still think “Roger The Dog” should win! I mean what’s not to like about a dog who likes to sleep. I think the poem, “Roger The Dog” by Ted Hughes, should definitely win!

The poem that should win the championship should be,”Choosing Shoes.’’ The poem, ”Choosing Shoes,” has a lot of alliteration, for one example, when it said,” Pretty pointy-toe shoes.” Pretty and pointy has alliteration. I also made a connection, because no one can find the perfect shoes, and everyone should be comfortable. Which really means that nobody’s perfect and everyone should be themselves. This poem couldn’t have a better quatrain when it said,”Bright shoes, White shoes, dandy-dance-by-night shoes, perhaps-a-little-tight shoes, like some? So would I.” Also White and Bright rhyme. This one was a definite letter.
ReplyDelete-Stella
I think “Roger The Dog” by Ted Hughes should win because it has couplets. It also has a rhyme scheme of AABB. It has repetition when it repeats “He” a lot. It has alliteration. It says, “He digs down deep like a miner into sleep.” That is why I think this poem should win.

I choose “Choosing Shoes” because it is funny, and I can relate because every time I get new shoes it takes me a long time to pick the shoes that I want. Some writers craft are couplets because it has ones like this “ Red and Pink and Blue shoes tell me what you choose” and rhyme schemes (1 . = one line) … If they’d let us buy … let’s have some to try … That's the sort they’ll buy. The last one is alliteration because it says “Strappy clappy low shoes pretty pointy toe shoes”
ReplyDelete“Choosing Shoes” is a clear winner.
-James
“Choosing Shoes” should win. Because “Roger The Dog” doesn’t rhyme that much and “Choosing Shoes” rhyme’s a lot and “Choosing Shoes” has a melody, quatrains, and repetition. This is why I think “Choosing Shoes” should win.
