  8. Guys I need some help!
    What should go with this line?
    'His face was a non-fiction story'
    My 'Metaphor Poem' (where that line came from) is basically about someone who has had a tragedy (or some kind of awful event) occur and he won't tell what happened.

    His...,
    But...

    His...,
    But...

  20. Mr. Buxton we do have enough home work we just need to take breaks from it when we run out of ideas so we can refresh our minds.

    Zach is write it depends on what your poem is about and what sounds better
    but Mr. Buxton did say that in a poem is better to express your facts in shorter sentences.

  31. The sea is a caring lioness
    Devouring defenseless lives
    Frighting away other beasts
    With its all might roar
    If it dares to enter the prides territory

    The sea can create
    a terrifying roar
    scattering those who are near
    sending them fleeing to far
    to save their precious lives

    The sea is a hunter
    Stalking up from behind
    All seeming innocent
    But that isn't to be

    The sea is a carnivore
    Ripping the flesh
    of the unknowing victim
    Letting it pride
    Survive and thrive

  32. To really get the last part of this poem, you have to know that a group of lions is called a pride. I used a play on word.

  33. My Family is a Garden
    By: Han Sohn

    My family is a garden
    My mother is a flower,
    As gentle as can be
    My father is a path,
    Guiding me along

    My family is a garden
    My aunt is a butterfly,
    Soaring from place to place.
    My uncle is a bee,
    Buzzing through the air


    My family is a garden
    My cousins are the bushes
    My grandfather is a tree,
    And my grandmother are the roots.

    ReplyDelete
  34. han- really nice! but i think in your last stanza you should continue with the pattern of giving an example of what they do, like

    my uncle is a bee
    buzzing all over the place

    ReplyDelete
  48. no it's not!! i know i should be in bed but i snuck out. anyways how's it too long? probably it's because it's the glee version and they added alot of sentences to it. but it is a very good song with a very good meaning!!

  50. I chose Iridescent by Linkin Park in A Thousand Suns album. If you think I'm not stepping out of my comfort zone you're wrong because I'm singing all by myself today or tomorrow. I don't exactly need the lyrics because I already know them but still... Just incase.

    ReplyDelete
  51. P.S It's not too late It's just too early because I need to print out the lyrics using this laptop
