Capitals vs. Lightning Game 7

By: Lisa Vu

It has been 20 years

Since we went to the Stanley Cup finals

Excitement was in the air

The game was endless

Fans screaming their heads off for the Capitals

We never gave up

We lost but we kept on going

It was so close yet so far

But the last game changed everything

We have another chance to win

And take home the cup

Work hard

Play hard

And never give up

 

 

1. I publish a Inspired by poem.

2. My source of inspiration was the Capitals game because they’re going to the Stanley Cup finals.

3. The tone of my poem is hopeful.

4. The theme of my poem is never give up.

5. “The game was endless” hyperbole, I put this figurative language in my poem to show how the game was nerve wracking and how it felt like it wasn’t gonna end.

“Fans screaming their heads off for the Capitals” hyperbole, I put this figurative language in my poem becasue it shows how excited and mad the game made the fans feel.

6.  Revision 1: I changed “we work hard” to “work hard” because I think it sounds better.

Revision 2: I added “the” in between “but” and “last” because I think it would sound better.

7. It was easy to write this poem because I was really inspired by how hard the Capitals worked to get to where they are now.

8. I am very satisfied with my poem because I worked really hard on it and it’s about one of my favorite things, which is hockey.
