The first poem, “do you carrot all for me?” is about the poet asking someone if they love him at all. “The castle in the fire” is about a knight saving a lady from a dragon. I chose, “Do you carrot all for me?” because he refers a lot of things to plants like, weed make a swell pear and lettuce marry.

The first poem “Do you carrot all for me?” is a poem talking about someone they love. The poet used fruits and vegetables that sound like real words to ask and talk to her. For example, “lettuce marry;” sounds like let us marry.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem “The Castle in the Fire” is a poem about 2 kids watching a knight try to rescue a princess from a evil dragon in a old castle. The poet used imagery for me when it talked about the knight coming to rescue the princess. I can picture this because of fairy tales I’ve read.
I choose “Do your carrot all for me?” as the winner because i like how it using word play with the fruits and vegetables.For example,when it said “lettuce mary” or”Weed make a swell pear.”
It also used imagery when it said the fruits. For example, “With your turnip nose.”

ReplyDeleteThe poem “Do You carrot All for Me”, is about a girl that is asking her boyfriend if he likes her .
I think “Do You carrot All for Me ” should win. Because there are a lot of fruits and vegetables. For example there is carrot, beets,turnip and radish.

The first poem, “ Do you Carrot all for me?”, is about a man who asks his “ honeydew “, “ Do you carrot all for me?” Then he proposes using very bad fruit and vegge puns. This poem has imagery when he talks about all the fruits and veggies. When he says “ You are a Peach”, he is using a metaphor because of ARE and not LIKE.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, “The Castle in the Fire”, is about a person who is in a castle, but the castle has a fire and he has to go out. When he comes out of the castle, he sees dragons and a lady that is trapped in a turret! Then, a knight comes o fight the dragon, but a fog comes in! As soon as the fog clears, he sees the knight riding away on a horse with the lady. This poem has Alliteration when he says “ While we watched in wonder”. The Rhyme scheme is ABCB. THe poet shows a lot of imagery with all of the fog and the turrets and the knights.
I choose “ Do you Carrot all for me?” because the second poem was a little to overwhelming, and this poem has a lot more humor to it. Just the fact that it isn’t funny makes it funny. Even with the humor, it still has a meaning. This poem is not about fruits and veggies, but love. The poet actually wrote this for a reason. He was proposing. LIke I said in the first paragraph, this poem has metaphors and imagery. It has metaphors when he says “ You are a peach”. It has imagery when he talks about all of the fruits and veggies. That is why I choose “ Do you Carrot all for me?”.
