free verse...

hey readers! I was going to put this up on Tuesday...but that didn't happen. I am sorry!
Free Verse-
Free verse is poetry whose rhythm is close to the natural rhythm of normal speech. Free verse is usually unrhymed, and it relies on the repetition of sounds, words, and lines.

This poem was in my literature book for school:

Primer Lesson

Carl Sandburg

Look out how you use proud words.

When you let proud words go, it is not easy to call them back.

They wear long boots, hard boots; they walk off proud, the

can't hear you calling--

Look out how you use proud words.

Pretty powerful right?! Well we had this assignment-

Write About It

Using Sandburg's "Primer Lesson" as a model, write your own poem personifying another character quality. Describe how it moves around and what kind of footwear it uses. Endurance might wear a pair of worn-down running shoes; Grace might wear a pair of ballet slippers, etc.

So, this is what I came up with with very little help from my mom! she did think of the cleats used but I pretty much came up with the rest :)

Courage

Luanna J. Wright

We must have courage to make it through the

Hard times in our life.

Courage is not running off when the giants come

In life, but facing your fears.

Courage is as a pair of cleats-standing their

Ground and staying in place.

Use your cleats and stay strong.

So, what do you think? Let me know! =)
