Assignment 11-Poetry

Write four poems.   One acrostic (using your name), and three from the following list.

Alliteration-Alliteration repeats a beginning, usually consonant, sound over and over.
 For example:
Will you wait. . .
While wild waters
Wipe whole worlds
away?
And a hundred white winters
Have withered gray?

Onomatopoeia: An onomatopoeia word is a word that sounds exactly like the sound it's describing. 

Oh Poor me!
I feel on the ground
Ker-plunk!
And landed in a garbage
dump
Pee-ew!
So I dusted myself off
Swat! Swat!

Line 2=7 syllables
Line 3=5 syllables
Line 4=7 syllables

Hot cheesy pizza
Sausage and pepperoni
Round, warm, and spicy
Inviting me to sample
A slice that's most delicious

I
am
a very
special
shape I have
three points and
three lines straight.
Look through my words
and you will see, the shape
that I am meant to be. I'm just
not words caught in a tangle. Look
close to see a small triangle. My angles
add to one hundred and eighty degrees, you
learn this at school with your abc's. Practice your
math and you will see, some other fine examples of me.
