Chapter 11 Poems

Family Photo:
Pen to his lips
Papers in his hand
Music on his mind
But nobody knows
What he is really focused on
Negative thoughts fill his head
But he will not expose his thoughts
Because his brother is gone
And a sadness develops
It will not be overcome
So he writes him a poem
Though it will never be read

News Photo:
An innocent man
Trapped in a nightmare
Falls head first
Into a new dimension
A difficult decision
But either leads to death
Though he plunges towards Earth
He is suspended forever
He is a mystery
Yet widely known
He will not understand my anger
For I do not know him
The last time America came together
Came together for him

A Poet Who Doesn't Know It

The figurative language I found was:
"The road was a ribbon of moonlight" is a metaphor. This describes a long road that is only lit by moonlight.
"Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed" is both an alliteration and onomatopoeia.  It repeats words that start with the letter C and "clattered" and "clashed" could be used as words describing a sound.
"Dumb as a dog" is a simile. It compares something's intelligence to that of a dogs by using the word "as"
"His eyes were hollows of madness" is a metaphor. It is comparing his eyes to that of dark hollows.
The two poems are quite different. In the first poem, the author uses figurative language to describe separate details throughout their work. In the second poem, they only speak of the girl as a bullet without actually mentioning her.
Ugly Heart by G.R.L. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxRQNO8vg2Y
"This little heart and brain of mine say we're through with you"
"You're not my sunshine, anymore"
"Your face is a work of art"
"Your smile could light up New York City after dark"

"Stamped with a beauty mark"

Name Poem

Killer Scooby Doo chasing me in the park
Amazingly tall
Television, laptop, whiteboard, wallet, and mirror
I love tiktok
Extremely blue eyes

Eating's my passion
In leggings or sweatpants most of the time
Cool blue eyes and sometimes wears glasses
Hungry, helpful and caring
Helpings of cereal is my diet
Often sarcastic-not always-but most of the time
Love the nickname "Katie Enchilada"
Zebras have stripes
