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.

ReplyDeleteChoosing Shoes is about someone who is picking out shoes, but they don't know what kind to get.
The poem," Choosing Shoes," is my favorite. One reason I like it is because it has alliteration. For example, the text says," Pretty pointy-toe shoes." Another reason I like it is because it has repetition.The text says," New shoes, new shoes." I hope the poem," New Shoes," win.

ReplyDelete"Choosing Shoes" is a person who wants these shoes but does not get them. Instead he get other shoes.
