Poetry Rationale

Poetry Rationale and Proposal Statement
My objective for my poetry creative presentation will be to present a poster which has pictures that illustrate the poem. I plan to draw a picture for each poem that expresses the theme of each poem, and place them on a poster. On each picture I will write the poem itself so that the reader can both read the poem and examine the picture at the same time. I will choose this method because mainly I want the reader’s to clearly understand the poem fully. Even if I am not present to explain my poem, my illustrations will make it easier for readers to understand what my poem is saying.
I think the main difficulty is the drawing portion itself. I am not an artist, and drawing is one of many things that I find it hard to do. The main reason I am drawing a picture is to make my poem clearer for the readers. However, if I draw a horrible picture, an picture that is not related to the theme, and especially an picture that readers find it difficult to see what it is, then it will fail the objective of making a drawing poster. In order to prevent this, I will draw the picture with a pencil first so that when I make an mistake, I will be able to fix it right away. Also the important portion will be time management. Since I can’t draw a clear picture fast, I will have to start early and use my time wisely.
New aspects I discovered about poetry was that their was a variety of different poems. Before I thought even though there style might be different, I thought they had similar structure. However, I learned that theres many ways to write an poem, and each poem had specific traits. The fact that there were so many ways to write a poem made me more interested in poetry. It was like going into a buffe and finding all types of food. Before I hated poetry itself, but now I realize theres other ways to write a poem, and that made me motivated to write poems. Creativity is a great way to express your learning because each person has a unique imagination and a unique way to express what they learned.

Elegy poem

Mother
- Daniel Yang

The sadness do not pass
The tears do not drop.
For even though I know,
That I just lost something special.

Tis?is a rainy day,
The perfect day for an funeral.
Yet I cannot believe,
That all of this was happening.

Oh how wonderful was she
As a mother, a friend, a mentor
For she always stood by me
And did not let go of my hand.

At first I am in doubt,
For maybe its just a dream,
Until I feel the coldness in the hand
That was once the warm hand of my mothers

And I stand there in shock.
Not caring of the sound around me
But dive into a deep pool of sadness
As I watch her being buried down into nature.

What would I have done without her
What would I do without her.
I am afraid of the future
Where I won뭪 have her at my side.

Because of her I lived a meaningful life
Because of her I have succeed in the society
Because of her I was able to live
And because of her I am now in great loss.

The darkness do not disappear.
The moaning do not die.
For we all knew,
That we had just lost something special.

Free Verse BY Daniel Yang

In the cafeteria

My friend in the cafeteria
eating hamburgers and fries
with all those bacteria and germs floating around.

Then comes me, the smart one
I laugh at him and say, “YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING!”
it started with a joke, and ended with violence.

My friend got angry at me
saying I misunderstood everything.
Then he asked other friends for help.

My other evil friends agreed with my friend,
until he started using violence.
V-I-O-L-E-N-C-E VIOLENCE.

He started grabbing my injured wrist, and shook it.
My other friends laughed hard, and so did I...
in pain of course.

He would not stop there. He went mad as a mad cow,
trying to destroy me.
All through that experience I laughed alot.

I hate my friend
I love my friend
Don’t get angry at me after reading this, my friend.
