You are my shadow

A terrible friend

You never speak

And you never attend

 

You disappear in the dark

And come in the light

You stay for the good times

And never the night

 

I feel as if you mock me

You always act taller

So I stand quietly

Silently

Being smaller

 

I have to work hard

For all the I want

You do it effortlessly

Like an everlasting taunt

 

You stomp all over me

You silly copycat

You only do what I do

And leave it at that

 

Your like a little child

You mimic what I do

You follow me around

But I didn’t ask you to

 

Life seems simpler

Being a shadow

It’s an easy task

But you can be so shallow

 

All you are

Is black and white

Me i’m grey and complicated

But it seems like you do it right

 

1. I published a anti ode poem about shadows.

2. I chose this because I felt inspired and I had thought about this previously, so I had an idea of what to do.

3.The tone of this poem is haunting, since it is an anti ode.

4. The theme of my poem is that you should work hard to achieve and overcome obstactals, and that nothing should just be given to you.

5. You are my shadow, a terriable friend. -Metaphore

Your like a little child. – Simile

6. The first way I revised this poem is by changing the word ongoing to everlasting. The second is I changed copy to mimic. I made these because not only do they make it flow better, but it elevates my vocabulary.

7. It was quite easy because I already had an idea of how the poem would go and it flowed very easily.

8. I am satisfied with this poem because I think it sound somewhat profestional and it 32 lines and it is creative because it is an anti ode poem.
