The first poem, Roger The Dog, is about a old dog who doesn't do very much. All he does is sleep and eat and lay down by the fire. The writer used rhyme scheme in the poem, for example, he says, He wheezes at his ease. He only wakes to scratch his fleas. Thats one place where the writer uses a rhyme scheme.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, The Falling Star, I think is about how some thing are too beautiful to keep. This writer, also used rhyme scheme, for example. I saw a star slide down the sky, Blinding the north as it went by. That’s one example of a rhyme scheme.
I choose, Roger The Dog, as the winner because it reminds me of my dog Bailey, because he is not very active, and all he does is sleep and eat.

The next poem, The Falling Star, is about a person who saw his first shooting star and is explaining nis thoughts on what he saw. He said, “ Like a star falling down the sky, Blinding the north as it went by.” I pick Roger The Dog as the winner because he explains what his dog was like. Some of the writer’s craft were similes, metaphors, rhyme schemes, personification, and imagery. The dog got explained in a lot of ways, and that is why I think Roger The Dog is the winner.
