When I compose a poem I first think about who I want it to be about. Honestly when I'm given an assignment I have to go awhile before jumping in usually. If I wait awhile I let my thoughts process in my head then go into the project and start it. My poem did not turn out the best it could have but it wasn't too bad. I think that it was kind of a challenge to get all the 5 requirements into the poem.
Father
At First Glance You
Would See A Stranger,
You May Even Find Him
Attractive.
But With A Further
Look You See A Man;
A Human,
Someone Who Makes
Mistakes Just Like You Or I Would.
He Has Huge Beautiful
Brown Eyes,
So Beautiful You
Would Get A Picture As If He Were A Deer In Headlights.
When He Is Really
Concentrated On Something He Squints
He Squints Because
Although He Needs Glasses He Refuses To Wear Them.
He Looks For Love In
His Life,
He Searches So Much
You Could Say It Is The Most Important Thing In His Life.
He Puts Love Above
His Friends, His Family, and His Kids.
“Daddy, Why her? Why
Not Us?”
I believe that Holding On is going to be a good book just by the first few pages we've read. I found it interesting that they were saying that there are a difference between hobos and bums.
