So, in LA, I was being forced into writing poems, despite my love for story-writing. So, since they're pretty good, Ima post them here. I had to do 6 different kinds to get an 'A'.
Haikus
5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables
Purple Spring
Bright purple blossoms
Opening up to the skies,
Like grapes on a vine.
Spring Foxes
Little red fox kits
Coming out into the light.
First sight of the world.
Summer Night
Soft creek over rocks,
Green leaves cover the treetops,
On a moonlit night.
Cinquiains
2 syllables
4 syllables

The Hunting Fox
Red fox.
Swift and silent
It runs through the forest,
Hunting its unsuspecting prey,
A bird.
Spring Morning
Dewdrops
On spiderwebs,
Shining in the morning.
Like a diamond in the sunlight.
Spring dew.
Summer Rose
Roses.
Blooming bright buds,
On a dull summer night.
Yellow, red, pink, purple, and white--such bright
Roses.
Diamontes
Hard to explain
Fox
Furry, Sleek
Running, Dashing, Jumping
Hunting their small prey.
Barking, Rasping, Growling
Red, White
Dog
Roses
Prickly, Sweet
Blooming, Wilting, Falling
A symbol of love.
Varying, Swaying, Blowing
Red, Yellow
Flowers
I'd rather not share the rest. The 'If I...' poem is a bit...odd, and my Limericks are hilariously scary. My Free Verse...I may type up tomorrow night.
You may have noticed a consistency of Foxes and Roses. Those are my favorite two things. Others in my clas.s were writing about horses, cowboys, and barrel racing in all of theirs, so I'm not the only that specializes. :D
