Humor tells you what to do

Why can’t you just be you?

Humor stares at you waiting for you to speak

But sometimes you just can’t make the words leek

Humor gets you through the day

Even when you hit the hay

Humor is always there

Sometimes it’s just best to share

Humor won’t go away

It lets you know It’s here to stay

Humor is as useful as a car

Humor is a shooting star

Humor makes you laugh

Humor is like a delicate craft

ANSWERS FOR QUESTIONS

1.) The poem type I chose to use was a Emotion poem.

2.) The reason I chose this emotion was because I concsider my self a funny person and I thought that I could write about this easily.

3.) The tone of my poem is demanding.

4.) The theme of my poem is humor is always around us.

5.) “humor tells you what to do” is an example of a personafication. This helps contribute to the tone because it is saying that humor is demanding. “Humor stares at you waiting for you to speak” is personifaction as well and it helps contribute to the the tone the same way as the first example.

6.)  I revised by adding a metaphore because I needed one in my poem and did not have one. I also revised by substituting technology for cars in my simile. I added this because I could not think of anything to rhyme with “technology” and so I thought cars got the same point across

7.) It was very easy to write my poem except for metaphores.

8.) I am very satisfied with my poem because I think it shows my skills as a writer.

But I do notice everything.

Constantly around people that I call my friends.

They act as if i’m invisible.

Pretending i’m not there.

Praying that something will make me explode.

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.

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
