To Kim my older sister and a great friend.

 

It was a warm Californian winter when we first met.

 

You were standing like no other in a purple coat in the cold.

 

I saw you and went to say hello you smiled and greeted me back

 

I saw you walking home and I tagged along and talked to you before we ferried our different ways.

 

While we were talking you smile caught me off guard.

 

Your laugh sounded like the song of a hundred angels singing.

 

You were a diamond in a sea of sapphire more valuable than you know.

 

Always a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

 

You had many people that loved you and that thought of you as family.

 

You were polite to me and helped people out in their darkest times and that is what I admired about you at times.

 

You don’t let your past define you and no matter what.

 

You gave me a purpose at times at others I was still trying to find myself.

 

Your warm eyes.

 

Your sweet scent berry still stuck in my nose.

 

Your welcoming smile always made me feel warm on the inside.

 

You always had a positive outlook on life which I adored.

 

You were always there for me and stuck with me to the end.

 

That is why I admire you old friend.

 

May you have a great life and let joy come into it.

 

Let your wings carry you far and shield you from this wretched world.

 

1. The type of poem i chose to write is an ode.

 

2) i choose this subject because i was thinking about her and the history behind it.

 

3) The tone of the poem is sad and happy. sad because i don’t really see nor talk to her and easy because that is my best friend in the world .

 

4) The theme is that you will meet people that are kind to you no matter what so you have to keep them near you.

 

5)Always a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

You were a diamond in a sea of sapphire more valuable than you know.

 

6)two ways that i revised this poem is by taking out a whole sentence.

the other is just changing the word ferie to feryied

 

7) It was very easy to write this poem the reason why is because i was writing on someone that i know since i began  middle school

 

8) I am overly excited about the final product.
