The Final Point

She waits for the whistle

The hole on the ball facing up

For extra distance

In her stance, she still waits

Tweet, the whistle is blown

She throws the ball up in the air

Too far behind her to hit

It drops, and she waits

For the whistle to tweet once more

She must hit it this time

So this final game will be over

The score is close

23 to 22

Tweet! Blown again

The ball's in the air

And...

Wham! A blur

At once, it's on the other side

They've bumped it back over here

We do a bump,

Set,

And spike

This time they block it

A quick dive, it's saved

We spike again

It's gone to the far left corner

The girl turns around

A dangerous mistake

Boom!

She barely hits the ball

And it flies to the ceiling

It comes right back down,

All the way to the floor untouched

Bam!

It bounces a few times

Till it is still 

We stand there for a moment

Tweet!

The game is won!

Another Piece of Magnetic Poetry

Dark

Cool clouds 

An icy breeze

A glass heart

Sad secrets

Haunting decay

Bleeding peace

 A ferocious, dazzling universe

Ghost fever

Velvet embrace

Fiery sky

Melted porcelain

Prisoner colors

Marble eyes

Devouring flowers

Broken cups

Foolish poetry

Magnetic Poetry

Diamonds
Diamonds are still, but have a faint pink like a rose

With a thousand layers of elaborate petals

Diamonds are like the sweet, cool, blue spray of the ocean

Like springtime beauty, as everyone knows

Dreams and wonders, that's what diamonds are

Life of Death
A poisonous breath of ferocious fire
Washes over me like the ocean does to a sail boat
If only I could look back and laugh at my foolishness
And then I'd remember my mistake

Nature
I feel the green grass swaying against my legs
And the earth squishing beneath my feet
Listen to the insects
Hear the harmony in the sweet, bright spring
There is peace in nature

Trembling Earth, and I Have Seen Sweet Sunsets Die

Trembling Earth

The poem Trembling Earth, written by Harlyn Fitzgerald, is about the abstract noun anger.  I really liked because of all the metaphors it had.  Some examples are “The ocean of mean words,” When one is broken beyond repair,” and “And send Earth into chaos.”  The alliteration Harlyn had was “Broken beyond repair,” and “Fiery power of pounding fists.”  Some examples of assonance were “Power of pounding,” I have felt the Earth tremble,” and “Why does the world.  Harlyn’s whole poem is really amazing the way she describes anger, because she has looked at it from all angles and taken a snapshot of what it is.

I Have Seen Sweet Sunsets Die

I really enjoyed reading the poem I have Seen Sweet Sunsets Die, by Emilia Diggins, because of the way her words flow together in each stanza and her personification.  Some examples of the personification she used were “The red colors slowly seeping away,” The soft grass waving goodbye,” and “It has a right to be proud,” where it’s talking about the moon.  A metaphor she used was “Sorry hearts breaking.”  Some examples of alliteration in her poem are “Seen sweet sunsets,” and “Slowly seeping.”  Some examples of assonance are “Try and fix mistakes,”  “Who often come to,” and “Sorry hearts.”  Emilia’s poem is really good because of her description and the way she uses her words.

I'm the Best Rapper Ever!

Yo, what’s up, I’m Sierra Wood

When it comes to rapping I am just so good

I’ll have a hundred raps done before the day’s complete

And every one of them will sound just so sweet

I’m really, really good at playing the flute

The sound’s as sweet as a delicious fruit

I play piano and drums also

I’m a 3 instrument player, Oh

Too bad for you, now I’ll show you to the door

Get outta here, you don’t deserve

To listen to this rap ‘cause you just got served
