Mrs. Kutsle You missed a number of "basic" poetry forms. Like concrete, for example. I suggest you do more research about poetry and re-write this page. Keep trying, dear. 5/29/2008

Laura Last week they got into a fight
just last week nothing felt right
so she sit on the steps alone at recess
replying the memories of the past in her mind
she watches her old friend play truth or dare in the group
she was in
remembering all the fun they had
breaking the rules, staying up late, sneaking out
and laughing all the time
she hears girls laughing and changes her train of thought
when she looks up she sees her old friend start walking up to her
She wold tell herself to act cool
so she sits up, crosses her arm and looks straight ahead
she changes her expression and becomes very confident
her friend comes up and says hi
and with a reply she says what!?
Her old friend nitices that she shouldnt have gotton the courage to
talk to her after what happened

As the school bell rang they all ran outside and once again she was alone
when she turns to leave she sees her friend again
but this tie she was smoking
but she couldn't go stop her so she turned around and walked straight home

Last week she went to the councilor
Just last week she told someone
she said how she was worried and how she didnt want anything to happen to her.
As the tear streamed down her face she realized
that people in this owrld also have problem
and dont know how to deal with it
so she goes to the girls house to apologize
and when she rings the door bell
she can feel her cheeks get red with despair
a lady answer the door crying
she askes whats wrong
and the lady explaines
That now the girl who she fought with
the girl who used to be her best friend
is now in the hospital
and has been diagnosed with cancer
She feels her face get warm and her eyes water
she cant hid her feelings anymore

The next morning she uestions if she should go to the hospital
but finally gets the confidance
When she gets there she finds a empty bed
and a sypathy card

Thats a poem i wrote i worked hard on it but i didnt really like the way it turned out =\

Rebekah what about abstract, concrete, blank verse, lyric, acrostic, epitaphs, etherees, narrative, and dramatic poems??????? 11/4/2007
Kate That is a really great definition of poems! I am 13 and I spend a lot of time listening to music and writing poetry. Such as now, but I have only learned couplets, haikus, limericks, iambic penatmeters, (only have heard the term, never written one, same for sonnets, quatrain, ballad, and cinquain) and free verse. I'm also glad to now actually understand epics and iambic pentameters. Great explanation!! :) 11/2/2007
