I chose “Do You Carrot All for Me
ReplyDeleteThe first poem “ The New Suit,” is about a guy who goes to a party and he wears a suit.
A personal connection is that I have been to a party and my dad wore a tuxedo and my mom said “ Don’t get that tuxedo of yours dirty.
The most important poem for me was “ The New Suit,” because I really really thought it had more important meaning to me.
The Writer's craft that I really liked was the imagery. For example, I could see a guy who goes to a party and people keep telling him that he can not eat ice cream or at least be careful with it.

The first poem, IF is about giving advice, and people wishing they had things they didn't. It's also about telling the truth if you have something or not.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, Who has seen the wind is about the wind passing through spaces and corners. It's also about a person wondering where it has come from.
I think the winner is IF because it has more details and writers craft. I loved the imagery in it because you can imagine someone saying these wishes and or thoughts. Lastly I liked the repetition because almost all of the sentences started with If you can. This is why I think the winner is IF.
