Here is an example of proficient writing:
The first poem, called “Some One,” is about someone who came knocking on somebody else’s door, and when he went to answer it, no one was there. The emotion is mysterious because he will never know who was knocking on his door.
The second poem, called “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me,” is a good poem about a girl telling someone that she is not scared of anything. The emotion is is happy because she is never scared of anything.
I will choose ”Life Doesn’t Frighten Me” because it is very deep and also much better than “Some One.” It also has a very good rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme is AAB. It also has very good personification. The personification is “Dragons running and going wild.” I think “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me” is a very good poem.

The poem “The New Suit”, is about a person saying he won’t wear the suit again because he is worried that what he eats might get on his suit. The poem, “How to eat a poem”, is about eating a poem.

The first poem, “How to Eat a Poem,” is about how to eat a poem and that there is nothing to throw away, so it is easy to eat a poem. The second poem, “The New Suit,” is about a new suit that is tight and everything that he cannot do in the suit, and how that next year he will wear old clothes so he can eat everything. For me, the winner is “The New Suit.” I liked how this poem starts out with him being excited with his new suit, but at the end he sounds breathless and tired of it. I also liked how the poem has alliteration. Two examples of alliteration are “Striped suit,” and “A terrific tie.” I liked “The New Suit” better.
