Poems About the World

Poems About the World

By Nico Millana

Forest

Trees, towering Above you

The sparkling Appearance of dewGreen like a cactusNot like a moose

This poem wasn’t as good as most of my poems. It is very short because I couldn’t think of any more to say and that I had to finish it at a very short time. The tool I used is Simile.

DesertSurviving the desert is

Hard work

Searching for a city is

A lot of footwork

Water in the desert

Is very rare

In the desert at night

Will give you a scare

Not many animals are

Living there

This is one of my favorite poems! There are so many rhymes in including a three-line rhyme. Which is why I chose the tool, Rhyme.

Ocean

Bloop, bloop the bubbles of fish

People serve them in a dish

We should sustain

The marine creatures

The school of fish

Don’t have teachers

Ocean’s filled with tons of life

All of them are all wildlife

6

I used Onomatopoeia for this poem. This poem is sort of about sustainability. Something like protecting the sea or ocean. The picture of the ocean is one of the best pictures I have in this anthology.

Swamp

A swamp is a smelly,

slimy forest

An ugly forest that

has been possessed

I wonder if there are

alligators in there

You stay overnight,

you hug Teddy Bear

Maybe you couldn’t survive the swamp

You’re walking on mud, you shouldn’t stomp!

8

For me, it was a dark poem due to the picture which makes the swamp look sad. Don’t laugh, but I think I hurt the swamp’s feelings. The tool is Metaphor

9

Animals

10

Animals

Carnivore, herbivore, omnivore

Some of them squeak,some of them roar!

From young ones to old ones

For just a few months

When they get older, they start to hunt,

Start to walk, and start to grunt

Some of the animals are

Endangered species

These kind of animals need more peace

11

Again, this is sort of about sustainability. I really, really love this poem. That’s because I love animals. I chose to put a carnivore and a herbivore in one picture--not really one picture--to make it look like all the animals. The tool I used is Beginnings/Endings.

Reflection

This anthology was fun! But some parts of it were very annoying because I have to keep doing things over and over again.

I think that I did a great job on constructing poems and a presentation related to a theme.

I hope you enjoyed my presentation on “Poems About the World”. Try this at home!
