poetry assignment






     My theme was Life Lessons. 
For my poems i chose "To this day" by Shane Koyczan, and "B" by Sarah kay.


    My thoughts on Shane Koyczan's "To This Day",

 To This Day is one of my favourite poems. The passion and the thought that Shane Koyczan put into it are inspiring. I find the way he says things and makes them flow so naturally even if there are no intentional rhymes intriguing. It’s meaning is not hard to find. This free verse poem is about bullying and being different, I find it very powerful and touching. I really connect with this poem because I know what he is talking about and I know what it is like to be different and bullied for it.


    My thoughts on Sarah Kay's "B",
 This poem is amazing. The metaphors and words are beautifully choreographed into flowing lines of poetry that anyone should be proud of. It tells about teaching her daughter to be a good person and to be strong.
