Color Poem Assignment

Decent Essays
I choose my Color Poem assignment for the quarter 1 reflection. The expectations on this assignment were that I needed to pick a color and use some senses like feel, sight, and more. I went with dark red. I needed to use figurative and sensory language in this poem. I should have written 15 lines minimum in this poem.

My struggle on this assignment was what color I wanted to choose for the color poem. Another struggle I had was what things were dark red. I choose magma, two dark red fruits, a heartbeat, and a blood draw. A success I had with this is that I got it done.

She graded this assignment about how creative I was. Another thing the teacher would grade me on was how much figurative and sensory language I used in the poem. Plus if

    Metaphors: “Their eyes as brilliant and as wide as the night”, “Their manes the leaping ire of the wind”. These metaphors convey the etherealness of the atmosphere at that point of time. The poet uses these metaphors to once again compare simple objects with mysterious, eerie elements, suggestive of a dark night ahead. He uses these metaphors as a medium to chill the reader, and make the reader believe that something sinister has been going on in the poem. 12.…

    When comparing and looking at the two poems “Graded Paper” by Mark Halliday and “Learning to Read” by Frances E. W. Harper, you can see that the two are different in many ways. They are two poems from two very distinct time periods. The diverse elements and styles that are used in these poems make them unique in their own way. But, while they have different forms, subjects, word choices, and themes, their overall tones, while not exactly the same throughout the poems, can be seen as similar in a way as they both result in a happy and positive feeling.…

    This poem is about racism and discrimination. In this situation, the reason why I choose this poem was because the author has a positive attitude and I also enjoy this poem. From this poem, I learned how people discriminate each other in different forms and ways like when people talk behind your back or even force you to do something that you don’t really like. It reminds me of a previous experience I encounter, which was getting a perfect score on a test, and my classmates accused me of cheating. Therefore, I do not really like this part of the poem, because it reveals the unpleasant side of human beings.…

    Literature Paper Poetry can be very complex and even though it can vary and use different techniques to get the point across it may come to the same conclusion and meaning, and can also be interpreted differently. Poetry is meant to be understood in the reader's own way. Why I Hate Raisins, Hand-Me-Down Halloween, and My Brother at 3AM are about the struggles of living in the reservation, but use different style, syntax and tone. Why I Hate Raisins is a poem about the struggles of not having enough food or not being able to afford food other than what they received. It is written in subtly and sounds simple, so the true meaning behind the poem is not really understood until the end, and has a deeper meaning.…
