By Emily DuBois

You walk into nature

You smell fresh scents all around you

You still have the sweet taste of honeysuckle in your mouth

You hear the birds tweeting

The sound of your feet snapping the branches

You see the beautiful trees and the different colors of flowers

As you look into the distance

You see the landscape of The mountains and ocean

You feel safe

You feel calm like the delicate white bunny you see in the distance

You now understand

The beauty of nature

You now understand

How the you can be inspired by the smallest things



Reflection

I chose to publish my inspired by poem.
The source of my inspiration was nature because when ever I need to think or be inspired I will go somewhere with lots of nature
The tone of my poem was peaceful
The theme of my poem was to take a look at the smaller things in life
One example of figurative language is “you still have the sweet taste of honeysuckle in your mouth” which used sensory details. Another example of figurative language is “You feel calm like the delicate white bunny in the distance” which is a simile.
I revised my poem by changing “the peaceful rabbit” to the “white bunny” and adding “You still have the sweet taste of honeysuckle in your mouth”
While it was challenging to start the poem I felt that after I had the first couple of lines done that it flowed very easily.
I feel satisfied with my draph because I did my best I could and made sure to edit my grammer and had two people help revise.

I feel lost and unsteady

My brain is like an endless roller coaster going round and round

I feel walls closing in on me every second of everyday

Everything falls apart but you just don’t know how to put it back together

It takes over your brain without you even knowing.

Some more than others

Slowly getting more and more addled

Anxiety is the mini heart attack you recieve when you’re walking down the stairs and miss a step

It is the moment when you seem to think things are ok but then a slight blare or grumble can change that in an instant

It dances around your mind giving you negative and dark thoughts

Not knowing whether to speak them or to conceal them inside

The minute it hits you feel balmy and don’t know what is happening

Slowly it will get better but until then it stands to be everyday life

My poem type is an emotion poem. I decided to choose an emotion poem because it is easy for me to spill out my thoughts and feelings onto paper. The tone of this poem is dejected, I chose this word because to me this poem speaks that it is dejected. The theme of my poem is dark and gloomy because during these times you can feel mournful, or not know what you are feeling which can then lead you down a dark path. One way I revised this poem was changing the word confused to addled for a more intriguing read. Another way I revised was changing my average metaphor into a more meaningful metaphor to describe to the reader how the feeling occurs. It was easy for me to write this poem because as I said before it is easy for me to pour my thoughts out onto paper and describe the feelings, and meanings of it. I am very satisfied with my final draft because I feel I put my best effort into this and it turned out exactly how I wanted it to.
