4. Concrete Poems

Traditionally, concrete poems are about a special object.  The text of the poem fills in the outline of the object's shape.

For this blog assignment, add a comment where you describe your object along with the Concrete poem itself.

"Mrs. Perkins' Locket"

This locket reminds me
to keep a joyful heart
leave it open
so love can creep in
when I least expect it
and leak out
when I am not paying
attention.
It soothes me
in dark days;
the times I don't want
to forget my hurt.
Instead I focus
on the future,
and love
that will surely
come my way
if I let it.

  1. He took that lure and tossed it in the pond,
    realed that spool as a bass made that bond.
    Killed that pole just getting him to the bank,
    stood with disbelief as that fish yanked;
    he slapped, he pounded, i screamed and yelped.
    Cant believe it, but i may need help,
    that lined popped so i started to weap,
    couldnt believe i was still in this heat.
    I screamed and yelled in disbelief,
    i guess that bass got the best of me.

  2. I would ride it all day
    and sometimes it would just make me say,
    I wish I could make it so much faster
    but I know it would be a huge disaster

  3. Together at last '

    The first time I saw you, I smiled
    So many memories in just one day
    We rode on rides just you and I
    Smiles, hugs, and kisses in just one day
    Just three words, two people and one meaning
    You and I would never forget
    How much we spent together in just one day
    We held hands like a couple
    Even though we weren't together
    We exchanged things at the end of the day
    A brown and black dog for me
    A red bracelet for you
    You got along with my relative so well
    You made her smile and laugh like she was me
    You promised to never leave again
    Even if we weren't together
    It was the end of the day
    At last it was time to say goodbye
    You asked a question before we said goodbye
    "Lets be together again?"
    Smile on each other faces was priceless
    At last the answer was "yes"
    A kiss before saying goodbye
    Laugh together like a couple
    Together at last for on and on till we die.

  4. Something Heavenly

    My grandmother gave me something special.
    This is why I tell you my tale.
    I loved it like no other.
    I loved as much as I love my mother.
    I was young and irresponsible.
    That is why I thought it was impossible.
    I lost it a few days after I got it.
    I was a little happy because I hadn't bought it.
    So every time something gets lost.
    I will never forget the lovely cross.

  5. I play all day and night
    Can't get it out of my sight
    Beating everyone I can
    Is my master plan
    I dunk with Lebron,
    Dish with Chris,
    And hit a clutch three pointer
    With a flip of Kobe's wrist
    I play all day and night
    Can't get it out of my sight

  6. The number Twenty-Three
    This is not what I want to be
    I planed in my life to go beyond sight
    And be who I want to be
    The present that fell from the sky
    That I try to use it everyday of my life
    Helped me obtain victory
    Befor, my life had no sourse
    And had no remorse
    But this ball in my hand protected me from worst
    The game I play, the game I love
    The game that often hurts
    On good days and bad days I put my motto first
    Good, Better, Best
    Never let it rest
    Untill your good gets better
    And you better gets best
    By keep pushing, fighting, chacing my dream
    I will reach my goal and be better than....
    The number Twenty-Three

  7. For some reason I never forget you.
    You always come first in my day.
    It's something I do without thinking.
    I guess just out of habit.

  8. You bring joy to my ears
    You bring joy to my heart.
    You fill the void when im lost
    Your rythem is of many
    Your voices can bring tears
    But Your Beats can bring Cheers
    Without Music , oh it brings me fear

  11. "The Kid and His Skateboard"

    When all was stressful he could always turn
    To that wonderful thing that he had learned
    He had learned to ride on a board with wheels
    This awesome experience almost gave him chills

    He finally found a place where he belonged
    It made all of his problems turn and be gone

  15. Xbox

    Its there when I'm angry.
    Its there when I'm bored or sad.
    Its there when I'm happy.
    When I'm happy it loves to pall around.
    As we race around the world.
    When I'm sad it cheers me up.
    As we enjoy great movies.
    When I'm angry it doesn't mind me blowing off steam
    As we blow off heads.
    When I'm bored It's there.
    That's all I have to say.

  16. She has looks like a goddess
    and wide in the hips,she's a really sharp lady
    also makes you look really nice and fit,
    she may even take your boyfriend out with a CLIP!
    she doesn't judge, but she may have people holding a grudge;
    looks are everything to the lady that shows no love. <3

  17. it has a beautiful essence
    a scent that is so fresh and pure
    It makes you wonder and lure
    I don't know what it is
    maybe it's the simple design
    You definitely wouldn't decline

    Concrete Object is my Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume

  18. I first saw your hands i couldn't imagine it gold less
    Ever since you said no that memory will go
    on and on like a broken record playing the saddest love song
    one chance would be like the most amazing dance of romance

    Concrete Object is A women
