@Latisha-I think Im in Love w. You
ReplyDeleteThis poem is very nice. It has the tone of a young teenage girl who has found her first love. She seems overwhelmed with feelings and so in love. However, in the end she says stop playing with me like a toy, which shows that she is tired of him not noticing her love for him. Its as if she wants someone so bad that doesnt want her. Its a nice poem, and I think you picked this one because of Quron and your are soooooooooooo in love!!!!!!!! 4.17.10 <3
Sucker for love!! haha!! :)

@Latisha: the poem you posted, You Get On My Nerves by Catalina remined me so much of myself and my heart Kimon. That poem really realates to the way I love him with all my heart but when we have problem I want to hurt him. I like how that poem want just puppy love, it was true love-real love. Like dont know better know them better than each other and through anything they can manage and stay together. That poem could relate to many couples{espically mine..lol)!-Chayvon
ReplyDeletequay; i loved your poem as a matter of fact i love just about everyone's poems. they all seem to be about love and relationships thats something we can all identify with. great job everyone!!!!!
ReplyDeletetisha: The poem that you pick is very heart warming it uses alot of personification giving no human things human qaulity. reading this poem i felt like i was in a peaceful place. in ways its very true. it also uses metaphors it has a little bit of a ryhme scheme. for me this poems is a stmbol of hope and happines.nice poem

oh that was my comment jasmine dubose. there was at least one example of all the literary devices in all the poems i loved. im glad too becuase literary devices are what makes poems so great, so descriptive,and so real.

I really liked reading your poem because I feel the same way. Sometimes I don't stand up for myself and I end up feeling the same way afterwards. The tone of this poem is determination, because it seems as if she is determined to stand up and fight.
I didnt really see any poetic device in the poem you posted by Latisha, You Get On My Nerves by Catalina-Chayvon
ReplyDeleteWow jamal i loveee your poem . i can remeber those days when i felt just like the author, to have a crush on someone but be to afraid to tell them because you are afraid of rejection, but now imma "BIG DAWG" LOL

ReplyDeleteI really like your poem because i some times feel the same way in this poem the author seems to be fed up with hearing sorry over and over again... I listen to this poem alot considering it was read on for colored girls :) i really like this poem because its deep to me.... Good poem!!!
People say whats the point in liking someone who doesn't like you back. They are right, there isn't a point. But you can't help who you like, it's not up to you. Your heart kinda just decides for you and there is no turning back once your heart makes up its mind.

ReplyDeleteThis poem was great and it instantly grabbed my attention. Maybe because it has some really strong feeling. Good choice!
