Answer 1

(ALLITERATION POEM)

The Tiger Asks Blake For A Bedtime Story


William, William, writing late
by the chill and sooty grate,
what immortal story can
make your tiger roar again?


When I sent to fetch your meat
I confess that I did eat
half the roast and all the bread.
He will never know, I said.


When I was sent to fetch your drink,
I confess that I did think
you would never miss the three
lumps of sugar by your tea.


Soon I saw my health decline
and I knew the fault was mine.
Only William Blake can tell
tales to make a tiger well.


Now I lay me down to sleep
with bear and rabbit, bird and sheep.
If I should dream before I wake,
may I dream of William Blake.


By William Blake
1757-1827


(HUMOR POEM)


Glutton


Subside self
A suffocating conception
we must fill
the quite demise plan
of own voiced
Spews of days passing
Growing impatient with this silent suffering
A quite sound numb
As ridiclous as
I may smile present pleasure
upon this matisse
lurks the wepts at
nightfall
As you fool, that I'm in satisfy
Speak humor, I may
But as i wish to lay on this sphere
and intake the last inhale
The throne, of aloof
i reside
i must want to forever
buriede beneath these warm colors
My dark fantasy, i must confide in stealth
Have i grown more cynical through the seasons?
Have i seeked my end,
mistakened for at peace?
Have i already died
just that a zombified creature resumes?
I faulter to answer these questions i ponder
But a subside self
i presume
i am the demise of my own

(HAIKU POEM)

In my old home
which I forsook, the cherries
are in bloom.


A giant firefly:
that way, this way, that way, this -
and it passes by.


Right at my feet -
and when did you get here,
snail?


My grumbling wife -
if only she were here!
This moon tonight...


A lovely thing to see:
through the paper window's hole,
the Galaxy.


A man, just one -
also a fly, just one -
in the huge drawing room.


A sudden shower falls -
and naked I am riding
on a naked horse!

Issa. (1762-1826).


( COUPLET POEM)

Don't go to the bathroom
Without paying the washroom

Never go out with a tornado
When you've made cookie dough

Please don't go to the prom
If you have a cd-rom

Help your sister
When you've seen a twister

Go to the bowling alley
If you haven't seen Stuart O'mally

If you haven't gone to Mars
Get more candy bars

Now if you read this poem
Go to the baseball dome

Winter Poem


once a snowflake fell

on my brow and i loved

it so much and i kissed

it and it was happy and called its cousins

and brothers and a web

of snow engulfed me then

i reached to love them all

and i squeezed them and they became

a spring rain and i stood perfectly

still and was a flower

Nikki Giovanni


(IMAGERY POEM)

Identity


let them be as flowers,
always watered, fed, guarded, admired,
but harnessed to a pot of dirt.

i’d rather be a tall, ugly weed,
clinging on cliffs, like an eagle
wind-wavering above high, jagged rocks.

to have broken through the surface of stone,
to live, to feel exposed to the madness
of the vast, eternal sky.
to be swayed by the breezes of an ancient sea,
carrying my soul, my seed, beyond the mountains of time
or into the abyss of the bizarre.

i’d rather be unseen, and if
then shunned by everone,
than to be a pleasant-smelling flower,
growing in clusters in the fertile valley,
where they’re praised, handled and plucked
by greedy, human hands.

i’d rather smell of musty, green stench
than of sweet, fragrant lilac.
if i could stand alone, strong and free,
i’d rather be a tall, ugly weed


By Julio Noboa Polanco

********Poem for imagery*********
*****The Dalliance of the Eagles***
*****author Walt Whitman********
SKIRTING the river road, (my forenoon walk, my rest,)
Skyward in air a sudden muffled sound, the dalliance of the eagles,
The rushing amorous contact high in space together,
The clinching interlocking claws, a living, fierce, gyrating wheel,
Four beating wings, two beaks, a swirling mass tight grappling, 5
In tumbling turning clustering loops, straight downward falling,
Till o’er the river pois’d, the twain yet one, a moment’s lull,
A motionless still balance in the air, then parting, talons loosing,
Upward again on slow-firm pinions slanting, their separate diverse flight,
She hers, he his, pursuing.

Shiki, Masaoka. (1867-1902).


I want to sleep
Swat the flies
Softly, please.


After killing
a spider, how lonely I feel
in the cold of night!


For love and for hate
I swat a fly and offer it
to an ant.


A mountain village
under the pilled-up snow
the sound of water.


Night; and once again,
the while I wait for you, cold wind
turns into rain.


The summer river:
although there is a bridge, my horse
goes through the water.


A lightning flash:
between the forest trees
I have seen water.

That want any babies
Just send them around to me

in a beautiful blissful burst

torrid arpeggios
of piquant piano-forte notes
fasten to my coat

this feather-down wrapping
of lingering lyrical rain
will exhale every last drop

of mournful musical mirth

~o~

in a poised porcelina pose

you uncover a solar cymbal
snared behind rhythmic symbols
of jittery jazz-kissed clouds

so sing another swansong
my praying prima-donna
and grace me with that voice

of devious delightful desire

Answer 3

alliteration:
FALL
Windy, winding walking ways
Streets snaking, singing sways
Descending deeper, darker days
Migrating, meandering, misty maze
