1. 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, 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. My object is my favorite shirt,
    It keeps me comfortable, It keeps me safe and it lets me sleep when I am awake.
    It's grey and blue and it's always true when I need
    something to get me through.

  9. "my half dollar"
    This coin is currencey I will never spend.
    My grandpa's life i wish could expand.
    I love that coin so much.
    I hold in my hand my grandpas touch.
    That coin shines brighter that no other.
    His big heart began ti smother.
    He pasted his last breath and layed there still.
    It was cancer lurking for the kill.

    1. Chris!, this poem almost made me cry!, I'm sorry for what have happened. When my older sister was born, she was a premature baby. She was born too early and my parents were scared if she was not going to make it, but I was glad she is alive and I hope you are okay after you wrote this. This poem is really touching.

    This requires a complex mind because of its bind
    for those with a lesser brain it will be a pain
    the center will never move so you'll wish you had a splinter
    Mister Rubik what was in your head when you lied down in your bed.

  13. the first time i got on you i lost balence and fell,
    i broke my wrist.
    i swore i would never get on you again!
    i lied.
    a month later i was right back on you,
    you have black words written on you bright green deck.
    oh, the years are showing on you.
    your bright green has faded to a dull color.
    your trucks have been rusted and replaced.
    your old self is not to be riddin again.
    when i look on the wall where you sit retired i think back,
    to all the good and bad times,
    all the cops that was called because of me riding you.
    all the cuts and bruise's.
    most of all the number 1 thing i love about you is........
    you brought me to my best friend!

  19. We strive for progress
    not perfection.You push
    me to keep going even
    know want to stop.
    You're chlorine blue like
    the water in a pool.
    Motivation gets us there
    so we choose to stay.
    Track is our life and
    everything else is just
    a detail.

    My object is my track spikes :)

  20. My bracelets.


    You see those bracelets she
    always wears?
    They hide something big,
    in her heart.
    She loves them,
    'cause some of them was to
    her by her best friends.
    They have a every special,
    memorize to her,
    they some times say thing;
    to make her
    know she's not alone.
    she likes how they glow in the dark.
    she will keep them for ever,
    not because they hide something big,
    because of the memorizes,
    the past, the present, the future.
    Some times when she's out in the park;
    playing softball,
    she takes them off,
    so nothing can happen to them.

  22. Mangos can be sweet,tangy, or sour.
    It seems like yesterday I was in the Philippines
    eating one. I remember being at my grandma's house
    with my family. We were outside looking around, then
    my dad shows my two sisters and I a mango tree which
    was very high. My mother told us a story that either
    her or her brothers had to climb up the tree to get some.
    As we were walking, my dad found one on the ground, so
    we decided to take a picture of it. When we got in the house, there were some sitting on the table on a plate. There's so many ways to eat one. Mangos come
    in different colors and sizes.

  23. Mangos continued

    Mangos can be desserts.

    One time,we were in the hotel where we stay at
    It was in the afternoon before we have lunch,
    when my two sister and I were eating ice cream
    out of the tub.

    There was mango ice cream and two other flavors.
    While we were eating, my little sister got some
    ice cream all over her hands and her mouth which
    was very funny.

    Mangos can be an ice candy, where you take the inside
    of it, put it in a ziploc bag, freeze it then eat it
    on a hot day. You can also to other fruits too.
