Poetry

In class we have been learning about Poetry.
It has been divided into chunks so we can learn slowly and take in the information.
We have been learning for a while and we have gone over, Imagery and we are starting on Sound Devices.
We have gone over Metaphors.
Let me explain what a Metaphor is..
A Metaphor is a figure of speech that talks about one thing but is referencing something different.
Example: "The curtain of night fell upon the city".
We also talked about the topic of Similes.
Similes are a figure of speech that compares something to another thing.
"The soldiers are as brave as a lion".
The last part of the topic of Imagery was Personification.
This is when you give an inanimate object or thing human characteristics.
"The trees waved".

My Poem
We are people.
We are not right.
We believe in our ideals.
We cause fights.
But a threat is rising.
One we can stop.
But our ideals consume us.
Because our planet is slowly getting hot.
The world is dying.
We will too.
As we perish.
So will you.
The world is screaming.
It is in agony.
We won't stop it.
Because we are selfish.
