Magnet Poetry

Use a creative word scramble/ magnet word website [see below] to put together your own poem! Challenge yourself to use three poetic devices, such as metaphor, imagery, etc., in its construction. This poem should be at least ten lines in length, and you should feel free to add additional words, appropriate for school writing, to the mix! Retype your finished product into a blog posting on your own blog.

That young magic poetry

your velvet voice,

perhaps would poison me.

For my life is cut short

by your love and affection.

Poetry

Do you consider Burns' poem to be "good" poetry? Why/ why not? In your opinion, explain what "good" poetry is, and, if you can, provide an example.

The poem seemed to be okay i liked it but it was hard to understand unless i looked you what it meant. when i did find out it was really good and saw how it related to holden. Good poetry to me is when you get lost in the words and feel the emotion the author is feeling and see that you can relate to it.
