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. 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 because she got captured, and then comes a knight 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.

The first poem, “Some One,” is about a person who is saying that someone came and knocked at his door. Then he is explaining how quiet it was. The second poem, “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me,” is about a girl saying over and over that life doesn’t frighten her, then she is giving all these examples of when life doesn't frighten her. For me, the winner is “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me.” I liked how the poem has couplet. I also liked how she is determined to make you think that life doesn't frighten her. She says life doesn't frighten her and she gives examples of what doesn’t frighten her. I liked “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me,” best.
