Alliteration Letter: R Topic: Love Poem
You
2
Running wild through open fields Do I keep trying over and over again? Or do I just accept reality? Maybe romance was never meant for me Maybe the rope is my only escape All I want is to bring you roses on rainy day to lift up your reality I wish to speak but you’re always surrounded by a rabble I sadly leave Knowing I will never feel the ripple you cause in my veins again Alone reminiscing About the one I let pass.

4 Assonance Long O Family Reunion yanked out of bed and thrown on a plane eyes not even half open moaning and groaning had no effect on the trip told I'd be visiting the holy land with snow finally made it to the hotel late night celebrated as a family together got to the museum honored donors of the Museum learned to be with my family

A New Day
6
Onomatopoeia Beginning day bell Lunch bell Dismissal
Hearing the beginning day bells, ping ping ping to me it sounds like screeching and scratching. Marking the beginning of what could be a day as good as cold water on a hot summer day, or as bad as the screams deep down under the ground. Ping ping ping The lunch bell rang, the most rewarding of all The sounds were sweet notes played from a harp After doing long hard work I could finally be rewarded with time for eating and being with friends the yelps and cries of my peers in the hallways was happy and joyful as they got to experience it too. Ping ping ping Marking the end of the day All is relieved as troubles wash away Swoosh, and flow as they leave my body A loud thud as my bag hits the floor but then it all comes back Only 12 more hours until i realive all of this and walk through the front door.

Memories

Imagery(earrings)
I could never lay my eyes upon the shining gold earrings again, it would just remind of that night. I remember her sitting right next to me in my arms, how could I not remember the earrings from when we first kissed. I would hear them jingle and bounce when we would walk against a breeze and feel them so cold when she sat next to me. In the store near the market when I saw gold earrings I could hear her next to me whispering in my ear. No chance to forget what happened that night, but atleast the earrings lay above where she lye for the rest of time

Positive Negative neutral
A delicious treat on popcorn for movie night An exquisite piece that adds taste to any meal The perfect flavor and consistency It's the best, literally Basically a rendered piece of fat and oil A nutritionist’s worst nightmare “Eat 10 of those and you'll be dead” Skin wrinkly laying in bed A yellow brick A sticky mess A perfect compliment If your ever feeling stress

18 Mood
Dancing and throwing down
Drowning out the conversation with loud music
The Club Thrashing around knocking people over. Ran into a waitress carrying drinks Crack, Crinkle Crunch
Boom, boom, boom, the speakers blast
The broken glass spread across the floor.
“A you a Wi-Fi? cause I’m feeling a connection.”
“Oh My God get out of my way” I screamed
Tossing free drinks to people I see
Not worrying about other people just myself,
Having a great time just with me
Having a good time alone on a shelf
Thoughtful
Thoughtless

20 Hyperbole Homework
The mountain of papers piled over my face I couldn’t finish it all in 1 night I'd be working non stop for the rest of my life Not 100 pens could finish this work I'd be stuck a 7/11 clerk I must persevere, I must break through I must not subdue I will get it done and get an A And we will survive another day

Perception
22
Allusion I came back home with a decision in mind. But could I really decide? Salad or Pizza Salad, that was it, the final decision I wasn't like Hamlet. I saw 3 few kids playing with a hammer Wacking each other on the head Kuper was almost dead I pictured them older and a saw the 3 stooges. I saw 1 kid standing next to a tree “Oh that's easy, victory is all I see� He tried 1 Million times before he went home I thought of the dreamer Don Quixote

Sonnet Thy Stereo Heart
24
Thou Heart beats like one of a stereo The note in they head my melody sings Calleth upon me if ever in woe Though you blow me away with your wedding rings Thou would stay by my side when I'm in need But he would alway make excuses that he can't stand Love planted into my heart like a seed But though greed for power was always to grand How far can love take us before thy end All I asked was for your hole hearted love I'm done playing this game of play pretend But you love hit me like a boxing glove All I wanted was to be loved by you But lifes reality hit me way to soon
