The first poem, Do you Carrot all for me?, is about someone expressing their feelings in vegetables.
The second poem, The Castle in the Fire, is about a knight who saves a princess.
I picked The Castle in the Fire because it had more detail, it is a story, and it also has alliteration. For example,the author says, "Then, while we watch in wonder." That's why I chose The Castle in the Fire.
The first poem, Life Doesn’t Frighten Me is about a person who isn’t scared of anything such as sharks in the ocean or strangers at weird places.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, Someone is about a girl hears knocking and she looks but nothing is in front of her or in the front yard.
I chose Someone because it’s really nice and it has really good detail and I noticed that there was AABBCCCC. I also picked this because I love a mystery poem. Sometime she will have to find out who that is...
I think the main idea of the poem Some One is about a boy that heard someone knock at the door but when he came to look no one was there and all he heard was the still dark night.

chose Some One, because it is a great poem with great personification. For example, it said only the crickets whistling, and the beetle tap tap tapping on the wall. I think the author did a great job on this poem.

ReplyDeleteSome One is about someone knocking on his door and he found out that the animals and insects made the noise.
I like Some One better because first off it has amazing personification. For example, "The crickets whistling". Crickets can't whistle. Another is "the beetle tapping in the wall". Beetles can't tap walls. I love it's meaning about sound. SOME ONE ROCKS.
That's a great blog post I like how you used personification.

ReplyDeleteThe second poem, Life Doesn't Frighten Me, is about a person that isn't afraid of anything and is always prepared for whatever is coming to him next.
I choose the poem, Some One, as my favorite, I liked it because it reminded me about a little mouse family that can't figure out who knocked at their door. The rhyme scheme is A B A B C D E D. It also had very good onomatopoeias like, "Only from the forest The screech-owl's call." I could picture every line in this poem in my head.
The first poem, Some One, is about a little girl who lives at a cottage and someone came knocking at her door. Walter De La Mare explains that “she looks outside and only sees the busy beetle tap tapping on the wall, only from the forest the screech-owl’s call, and while the dewdrops fall, so I not who came knocking at all, at all, at all.”
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, Life doesn’t frighten Me, is about someone telling Maya Angelou, “Life doesn’t frighten me at all. Not the shadows on the wall or the noises down the hall. Bad dogs barking loud, big ghosts in a cloud, life doesn’t frighten me at all.”
My favorite poem is Some One. This is because of I like how the author explains the story by using fun words like Tap-tapping, Wee, small door, and dewdrops. Although the poem doesn’t have any similes, the cool words make it fun and different. These are the reasons why I like Some One better.
I think Life doesn’t Frighten Me is about a child that is saying that life doesn’t frighten him or her. But the child is frightened by on thing his dreams.
ReplyDeleteI think Someone is about a person who went to get the door because someone was there. The man was describing the person at the door. The man was also talking about what was happening at the moment.
I choose Someone as the winner because, it was really nice. Here are some onomatopoeia word I found in the poem: stirring, tapping/tap, screech, whistling, knocking. I noticed that there is not really a great rhyme scheme in the poem.
Someone, is about a person whose door bell gets rang. he goes to the door and opens it. No one is there. only the crickets and owls. He never knew who ding dong ditched him.
