Anyone here good with writing short poems on the spot?

OpenStudy (aamirgsen):

about what specifically?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anything really.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Depends on the topic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The topic is up for grabs.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's it for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need some sort of example poem so I can write a larger one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does your poem have to be about? You could probably just look up a short poem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean "Roses are red violets are blue Sugar is sweet and so are you" is considered a poem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea but how do I implement a simile and a metaphor into one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My head is still stuck on JavaScript so I'm having a difficult time thinking about English right now http://imgur.com/Q8PjUHb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah. Well do you know the meaning of those? Compare two things. "She was the sun, and I, the moon." Metaphor and "With eyes as blue as the sky" Simile

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea I know what they are separately it's just trying to put it into a run on poem that I find difficult

OpenStudy (aamirgsen):

that's java not javascript :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My class says it's JavaScript though...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write a poem about someone or something you love, and it's easy. Something you're passionate about.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hum okay I'll try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me know when you've come up with something. I'll help you make it sound good c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There's a gun on the ground laying silently by a mound It looks to the sky though I don't know why as if in thought about how it'd been caught laying around on the dirty ground

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know poems don't have to necessarily rhyme on an a Sequence. You could try A b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Poems don't have to rhyme at all. Depending on what the assignment calls for.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They don't have to rhyme it just easier for me to make rhyming poems cause they sound cooler

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright lol. Let me find you a good example.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I grab my coat take the goat get in the boat enjoy the float stuck in a moat loose our float fall out the boat lost my goat dirtied my coat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Poems should have meaning though, and if you have to work a simile and metaphor into that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

xD lmao I know I'm just making random pellet up while you're trying to give me an example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here, here's an example and this is also a good website to look at for examples. http://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/snow-day

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mehh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is a dog with eyes of fog It lays on my bed looking very dead but jumps up with glee when it needs to pee it runs as fast as lighting enough to be considered frightening but when I open the door and look at the floor I remember the past and know it wont last for this dog eight and is my only mate when it's time has come I will turn to scum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how's that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*lightning

OpenStudy (aamirgsen):

I really don't get the end part about scum and dog eight and the time has come but besides that I guess it's alright...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

meaning the dog is eight years old, and the dog is the guys only friend in life. so when the dog dies he will become "scum" like the bottom of the barrel, sad depressed etc.
