Answer 12

Elegy For Scott

When I had nightmares
I came straight to you
But the funny part was how I knew
You were always in the kitchen

You either gave me Oreo's
Or your famous homemade
Peanut Butter Cookies
And off to bed I went

It's surely hard not to cry
When I think of you
And I hear the word goodbye
I think to myself it wasn't a fair fight

When all the kids ditched me
You were always there
To comfort me
And let me know you were there

You are the worlds best dad as far
As far as I can see
And surely in my life
It is you it will ever be

No one can take you place
No one can finish the race
It was so shocking
When we got the call

You had four strokes
And the doctor said
No more or else
You would sadly have to go

I've been through a lot
Thinking it was all my fault
That you were gone
And it hasn't been that long

Mama always comforts me
And reassures me that
It was no ones fault
That it's just the way of life

On our way back to Cali
Oh how you were so happy
Laughing and singing the whole way
With your sweet joyful self

Who would have thought
That this would be the outcome
Oh how I hurt
I felt so torn

Grandma Dottie hurt me so
She wouldn't let us go
To see you get buried
And let us say our goodbyes

I never fully got closer
And I know very well
That's part of my anger
And it makes me sad

Oh but what I would do
Just to hear you talking to me
and all of us laughing
to see you sneaking me candy

Oh how mom would get so mad
But we already knew she would
Get over it and laugh about it later
Especially now a day's

Sometimes me and mom sit outside
At the nighttime looking at the stars
And think about
all the memories we shared

Sometimes we laugh and
Sometimes we cry
At the end of it all
We know everything is alright

You may not be here physically
But you will forever be in my heart
You will forever be in my mind
And in my thoughts and memories

I will hear your laugh through mine
And remember your voice in my prayers
I'll remember the way you look
Through the memories of your character

You were a sweet man
Gentle at the heart and kind at thought
You thought about your family first
And then others and I will always

Remember you and think of
Bright thoughts when I think of you
Let your spirit forever be with mom
Cause she was troubled most of all

Answer 13

I did this in 8th grade that was two years ago I'm now a sophomore.

Answer 14

That's really good. I wish I could write poetry like that.

Answer 15

Thank you. I'll be helping you with that. What kind of memories do you two have together.

Answer 16

Playing board games, going to the beach, Sledding in her backyard, huge christmas every time we went up, never going anywhere without food

Answer 17

Answer 18

Diggin a hole that was big enough to bury someone and leave just their head up, building sand castles, and boogie boarding

Answer 19

Answer 20

I face planted into the sand at the end of the wave, and she was right there to help me up

Answer 21

I have so many memories
And they all come back to you
From going to the beach
and always having something to eat


that's what I have so far I have to go but I will help you when I get back.

Answer 22

Answer 24

Do you have anything so far?

Answer 25

@Mrs.Irwin

Answer 26

@Adrianna.Gongora

I have so many memories
And they all come back to you
From going to the beach
And always having something to eat
LeeLee leaves a loving legacy
She was like a social butterfly
Pepsi with Lemon in on hand

Answer 27

I like it :) I think you need 3 more lines and then we have to find the 3 poetic devices :)

Answer 28

Poetic devices are tools that a poet can use to create rhythm, enhance a poem's meaning, or intensify a mood or feeling. These devices help piece the poem together, much like a hammer and nails join planks of wood together.

Answer 29

@Adrianna.Gongora I am taking the ACT soon so I will be on later today

Answer 30

Okay :) hope you pass it.

Answer 31

@Adrianna.Gongora I am ready when you are :)

Answer 32

What do you think of this? @Adrianna.Gongora

I have so many memories
And they all come back to you
From going to the beach
And always having something to eat
LeeLee leaves a loving legacy
She was like a social butterfly
Pepsi with Lemon in on hand
I thought I heard her voice today
Then laugh her hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
“The spirit never dies.”

Answer 33

I like it :) @Mrs.Irwin

Answer 34

@Adrianna.Gongora this is what I ended with
I have so many happy and loving memories
And they all come back to you and me
From going to the super sandy beach in our shining red Jeep
And always having something sweet to eat
LeeLee leaves a loving legacy
She was like a social butterfly
Pepsi with Lemon in on hand
I thought I heard her voice today
Then laugh her hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
“The spirit never dies.”
I thought that I would miss her
And never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,-
“She’s with you every day.
