I know that “Roger the Dog” should win the championship. My connection to “Roger the Dog is that I have a dog. I also like the poet’s craft. “Roger the Dog” has a rhyme scheme. It’s AABBCCDDEEFFGGHH. So, it has couplets. Those are the reasons why “Roger the Dog” should win.
ReplyDeleteI think the poem, “Roger the Dog,” should win. I connect to it because I am sometimes really lazy too. My other connection I have with it is that when I give my dog dinner, she empties her bowl. I like the poet’s craft because it has alliteration. For example, the text says,” Lug him like a log,” and, “ Dinner dish.” I also like the rhyme scheme of AA and so on. I think the poem,” Roger the Dog,” should win the championship.

I think "Casey at the Bat" should win. My connection to this poem is this, rarely but sometimes, I strike out. I am amazed by how Ernest Lawrence Thayer made such a long poem yet the whole poem rhymes.

I think the poem “Roger the Dog” should win. I made a t-s connection with “Roger the Dog”. My dog is lazy like Roger. Lastly, “Roger the Dog” used alliteration, rhyme scheme, and it was funny. It used alliteration in sentence, “Dinner dish” and also in the sentence “Digs down deep”. The rhyme scheme pattern was AABBCCDD etc. That is why “Roger the Dog” should be the winner of poetry madness.

I think Choosing shoes should win because it relates to the actual world. I connect to the poem, because when I go to the store to buy shoes, there are so many shoes to pick from, that I do not know what to buy. I like the poems Alliteration. For example, “Dancy-dance-by-night shoes” and “Pretty-pointy-toe shoes.” Also, there is Repetition. For example, “New shoes, new shoes.” I think “Choosing Shoes” is the clear winner.

I choose “Casey at the Bat,” by Earnest Lawrence Thayer as the final winner. I can make a connection to the poem because I know how it feels when you have a lot of faith in yourself and you think that you can do it - but then you strike out. I like the poet’s craft in “Casey at the Bat.” An example of some poet’s craft is the rhyme scheme. It is AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJKKLLMMNNOOPPQQRRSSTTUUVVWWXXYYZZ.

I think “Roger The Dog” is the easy winner. In every single line there is writer's craft. So how could you not choose it.
I can connect with “Roger The Dog” the most because I saw a dog who was almost 2 feet. The dog was really fat and when he tried to run he just barely joged. Also, he was very cute too and I could see roger being cute too.
The poem with the better writer's craft is “Roger The Dog.” “Roger The Dog” has 8 couplets. For example, “asleep he wheezes at his ease.”
“He Only wakes to scratch his fleas.” Also, there is alliteration. For example, “Flops flat then digs down deep.
The easy winner is “Roger The Dog.”

ReplyDeleteThe first poem”Casey at the Bat” is about a baseball player that really loves to win but thinks that he is so good that he waits until the last strike to hit it hard but then he strikes out!

Dear Miss Braddy,
ReplyDeleteHere is my blog post!
I thank “Choosing Shoes” should win the championship because it rhymes better and is more tempoed which I like.
I connect to the poem. Because it shows all the fancy shoes, But the best shoes are wipe-them- on-the-mat shoes!
Some things I like about the poet's craft. is how she likes to make couplets , like “ shoes and choose.” I also like her meaning of how regular shoes are the best!

I like “ Roger the Dog” better. Because I have two dogs they both act like Roger. One likes to roll around in dog Business. One likes to sit by the fire and sleep. It is really funny and can keep your attention. I like the rhyme scheme “AAA BB” It is my favorite poem. Will. A
ReplyDeleteI chose "Choosing Shoes as the winner.

In "Choosing Shoes" I like the poet's craft more because i like how the poet uses repetition and repeats the word "Shoes". I also like how the poet has a rhyme scheme of AAAB. and uses four couplets to make up the poem.
"Choosing Shoes" is the clear winner.

I have read two poems. The first poem that I have read is called “Casey At The Bat,” by Ernest Lawrence Thayer. The second poem that I read is called “Roger the Dog,” by Ted Hughes. The poem that I think should win poetry madness is “ Roger the Dog.” I have chosen this poem because I can make a connection to it and I enjoy the writer’s craft that uses. I connect to this poem because I have a dog named Bear. Bear is similar to Roger because she loves to sleep and eat. Even though Bear loves to do these things she is not lazy like Roger because she loves to run and play. That is why I connect to this poem. I like the writer’s craft because it uses alliteration and couplets. For example, “Dinner Dish,” and “ Digs down deep.” Here is an example of couplets, “He will not race, he will not romp, he saves his strength for gobble and chomp.” This is a great poem. I hope that “Roger the Dog” wins.

What I like about the poet's is that the author made it funny and enjoyable and about a lazy dog that won't do anything unless it involves eating or clearing his "Dinner Dish." so as you can see or it's very clear who I picked. "Roger the Dog" wins. 😳😶 Kaiii

ReplyDeleteIt is a very long good poem and I like that Disney even made a short little movie off the poem. The Poem is
a very amazing poem that a lot of people enjoy reading. I think it is the true winner.
I really connect to this poem because I remember when my brother played baseball and he struck out when his team really needed it and same with my best friend on her softball team.
“Casey at the Bat” has some very good writers craft, For example the rhyme scheme is a AABBCC rhyme scheme pattern and it is also a couplet. I also like the Alliteration where it says Christian charity and Mudville- mighty. “Casey at the Bat” is an amazing poem and it is clearly the winner.
