2. Poetic Device
APOET IS LIMITED in the materials he can use in
creating his works: all he has are words to express
his ideas and feelings. These words need to be pre-
cisely right on several levels at once:
• they must sound right to the listener even as they
delight his ear
• they must have a meaning which might have been
unanticipated, but seems to be
the perfectly right one
• they must be arranged in a relationship and placed
on the page in ways that are
at once easy to follow and assist the reader in under-
standing
• they must probe the depths of human thought,
emotion, and empathy, while
appearing simple, self-contained, and unpretentious

7. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
suspendisse nulla pretium, rhoncus
tempor placerat fermentum, enim
The clam wood’s at night
so you can hear a pin drop
silent, place of peace
" Life a place of love
Be happy and be joyful
For life is to short
The flower is pink
Meadows rolling hills are green
spring time, beautiful
8. I AM
" I am joyful and funny
I wonder why we have school on monday
I hear nothing
I see everything
I want to be a pastry chef
I pretend sometimes am a chef when I bake
I feel like I could make a difference in the world
I worry that I wont be a pastry chef
I cry about nothing
I am joyful and funny
I understand that i have to go to school
I say what i think about everything
I dream of zombies
I try my best in every sport i’m in
I hope that I can graduate and go right into a school
I am joyful and funny
9. Sonnet
1.A poem of fourteen lines
using any of a number of
formal rhyme schemes, in
English typically having
ten syllables per line.
10. " This road right here
I use to know, but that was a very long time ago
" A lot has changed including me
But mostly because I can not breathe
But what I mean is
That I know what happen in the village though
That night, that awful day,
But no one can see and no one can
remember me. I’m just that girl
standing there, without a care,
Or maybe I was just a little sacred.
Sacred to know what was going on,
so I ran
I ran so fast
but don’t know
where then I find
myself right here, At the very spot I use
to know a very long time ago.
