Inspiration from Colin: Write about a favorite character from a book, movie, TV show , or play.
For example, express what your favorite character is and what made them your favorite or write from the character’s point of view about his/her family, friends, hopes, dreams, greatest struggles, maybe advice for you.
Guidance: Just start by saying the book character, and then think about questions like “What qualities makes this character your favorite?” or “What abilities or qualities would you most want to have that your character has?”
characters become a part of us
we feel like we know the person so well
its weird how something so made up can seem so real.
My favorite character comes from a show,
I look up to her because
She is independent, but knows when to ask for help
And she’s always there for her friends
No matter what
You weren’t from a book
Or a T.V. show
Or a movie
Or anything like that
Someone I thought that had a good character
Then I learned the truth about you
And that’s what broke me
You were done with me before I could say
“Stay with me, I love you”
That day that broke my soul
You hurt me,
Bad
Strong women
Doesn’t need a man
Is a true fighter
Mulan
Just like Sonya blade from mortal kombat x
Characters
They’re so different
Each and everyone in a story or book
Long hair
Green eyes
Button nose
But it’s their personality that makes us fall in love with them and the story
Characters
Give us someone to look up to,
Someone to inspire us,
Someone we can aspire to be.
I like how you use the similar-sounding word “Inspire” and “aspire” to connect each line in your poem. I definitely agree with your view on characters and how they help us live our lives.
A character of hurt.
You were that character for me.
You realized it too.
That’s what hurt the most.
You knew what you were doing.
And even though you warned me,
I still got hurt.
Walter O’Brien,
A genius,
A leader,
A friend.
Brave,
Courageous,
smart.
The I got it mindset,
His ability to get everything right,
his life.
The Hunger Games
I wouldn’t let my sister go
I would take her place
I wouldn’t go for the bows
I would grab that backpack
I wouldn’t go towards the water
I would hide in the trees
I wouldn’t start a fire
I would sleep in the trees
I wouldn’t let my friend die alone
I would been with her through it all
I wouldn’t wait it out
I would take a risk
I wouldn’t give in to the rules
I would make them change them
My favorite character,
they’re smart,
not the most kind but try,
not the most popular but get by,
their family works at a mortuary,
and the title of the first book they’re from?
I am Not a Serial Killer
My favorite character?
Is that a legal question to ask?
Wow. Let me see…
Let’s start with the books
that’ve inspired me for years
There’s Harry, Ron, Hermione,
and the rest of their peers.
Oh! Percy and Annabeth,
Every day, they dodge death,
But that’s not what’s important,
’cause I ship Percabeth!
What of Katniss Everdeen,
The fighter that I know?
She fights for her freedom
With arrows and a bow.
Sophie Foster is a favorite,
Though she’s pretty unknown,
She was thought to be dead,
And has a gravestone!
Onto TV shows,
like Once Upon a Time,
Emma Swan and Captain Hook
Make the show sublime.
Binge watch Arrow every night,
Oliver and Felicity are SO cute!
I’m obsessed with all the action,
and the arrows that they shoot.
I hardly see Barry Allen,
He’s moving way too fast.
Yes, it’s pretty weird,
But guess what? He’s The Flash!
Now, to one of my favorite,
The movies that have fame!
Iron Man, Incredible Hulk,
There are way too many to name!
These last ones are at the top of my list
let’s see if you can guess.
They’re part of the movie
that, by far, has had the most success.
From Star Wars, Luke and Leia
Always use the force with ease!
The way they search for adventure
Really does appease.
Han Solo is the awesome-est,
And goes in unrehearsed.
For the one thing you must remember,
Is that he ALWAYS shoots first!
Last, but clearly not least,
Is one big, heart-breaking traitor.
In the end, he gave into love,
it’s none other than Darth Vader.
ONE favorite character? Not so much,
but one thing is truly clear:
These people never give up on me,
So I’ll always hold them dear.
A shout out to those that I just mentioned,
And a million of awards, too!
Remember that you guys are special
And that I’ll always love you.
Kim possible
Brave
Smart
Strong
Bright
Positive
Competitive
Is a hero
Couldn’t be a better character.
Anakin Skywalker,
Darth Vader,
When people hear this name they think,
“Oooh, that guy is the bad dude in Star Wars. Right?”
I think of him as misunderstood,
And honestly,
Pretty romantic,
Even though he went to drastic measures,
For his wife,
Padame,
In the end,
Don’t think someone is automatically evil,
Look at their motives,
Then find the part where they got pushed down the wrong path.
I know this might be silly
but it really means a lot,
to know that in another place
imaginary or real
there might be hope
that Super Girl is there
I looked up to her
and I never thought
that one day that character
could be said to be fake
that there wasn’t a hero
to save the day
that there was no one,
who could fix a problem
and no one could truly save the day
that there really is
no hope for a little girl to believe
that one day someone would save,
her day
and stop bad things from happening
that no one could protect her
when this get tough
no one can save that little girl
without her realizing,
that the only one who will save her,
when shes hurt or in trouble is,
Herself
It huffs
It puffs
Right in my ear
Its like a lightnpleasemt wind howling through my ears
I need it at all times
Its my drug
Thank you music
I meet them in books,
I meet them in movies,
I meet them in my dreams.
They are characters
With whom I’d often wish
to trade lives with.
Just for one day.
We switch shoes,
We switch minds,
We switch pasts,
We switch hearts,
We switch futures.
Would I miss my life?
Would I get lost in the intricate
webs of their lives?
Might I be more content?
Would they find
living in my mind
too exhausting?
Too claustrophobic?
Perhaps I should be grateful
to have an imagination–
an imagination that allows me
to ponder about this exchange,
as opposed to actually
leaving my shoes
on the doorstep
for someone else to
step into.
I like how you used repetition in your first and third stanza because it shows you took your time in this poem.
Patrick Star
Lazy
Gluttonous
Stupid
Hilarious
Lives under a rock
“Is mayonnaise an instrument?”
I like how you ended your poem with “Is mayonnaise an instrument” This gives the poem a personality and humor, it makes it fun. I also agree, I think Patrick star is the best fictional character like ever made ever in the world ever.
Artemis fowl
mastermind criminal kidnapped a fairy and is part of the rich fowl crime organization boy genius smarter than most college professors he tries to make money and continue to be evil but eventually he changes and he fights with the good guys and saves the world
Yousef Erekat
Fought through addiction
Hated what he saw of himself
His depression gets to him
Forced himself to do certain things
Kicked people out of his life
Not because he couldn’t trust them
Or see good in that person
But because of his past
Vlogging is what he does
Recording his life
Showing it to his viewers
Supporters and Haters
Sometimes those haters
Make him feel like he’s nothing
He tries making others happy
Wants others to δmile Μore
But he thought to himself
How can you give happiness
Give love and positive vibes
When you can’t even love who you are
That’s why you have to believe in yourself
And see the glass half full
Dumbledore
Can a better character even be created?
Amazing wizardly powers, beyond even Voldemort.
Old, Wise, Intelligent.
Loving, Helpful,
Willing to die, and get tortured as long as long as it’s for the good.
Sporting a sick robe, and a beard on his beard because that’s how savage he is.
We should all aspire to be like him.
The best.
The smartest.
The nicest.
Hermione
Smart
Fearless
Brave
Everything I hope to be
She focuses mainly on education
Yet still makes time for building strong friendships
Headstrong yet kind
Not caring much about what people think
Strives to be a better version of herself
Bright lights in my eyes.
Meeting up with my lover.
“Esmeralda! Pablo! What are you doing?! Pablo get in the truck because we are going home and I don’t want to ever see you with her again.”
A voice says.
You see Pablo’s aunt. You were prohibited of being with him because he was rich and you
were
very
very poor.
I slowly retreat toward Pablo.
A shocked, worried look on my face.
CUT! SCENE!
I tilt my head toward the camera and walk off the set.
I grab a water bottle and go to the dressing room
for the
next scene.
Music
The beating sound in my ears
the lyrics make me break into tears.
Hearing the instruments playing together makes me want to listen forever.
Music gets me in my feels
emotions swim to my mind like a bunch of Eels.
shocking my mind.
one by one.
I listen and listen making me think
music helps me connect and not sink.
From the writer in me, I love how you chose to rhyme. Its almost like you didnt mean to because the poem flowed so well. Especially the lines when you said, “music gets me in my feels, emotions swim through my mind like eels”
Barry Alan
Sometimes he is Barry
Sometimes he’s the flash
Lost his mother
Almost as fast as Zoom
Fast as lighting
Saves the day
Has a red suit
has the lightning symbol
Defeats the bad people
Watch it on netflix
Spongebob
He was such a funny guy
he loved krabie patties
he always wanted to be manager
loved his job
He never stoped caring about his snail
and whenever gave up anybody and
always wanted the best for people.
Winnie the pooh
such an original character
but very wise
he loved honey
that was his passion
he looked up and down for it
he never stopped until he found it
and when he did he enjoyed it and
looked for more,
they’re are never enough dreams to accomplish
never stop until you fulfill all of yours
I think the heart of this poem is in the line ” They’re are never enough dreams to accomplish never stop until you fulfill all of yours” because it was like what we should take out of the poem and apply to are own life.
What caught me in your poem was when you said,”they’re are never enough dreams to accomplish
never stop until you fulfill all of yours ” I think that was something that we should all learn from this because sometimes we stop at the minimum when we really should go up and beyond.
my favorite character
is Harley Quinn
so fearless
and funny
belongs to the best squad
and is the best villain
ever
characters in a book
a movie
or a tv show
some are good some are bad
some people look up to them
characters can change the world
while others kill it
characters in a book
a movie
in a tv show
good and bad in both
people look up to some
maybe the actor or actress that person is portraying
characters hurt the world in some cases
other change the world and make it a better place
My brother always had a crush on you
And my family owned Harry Potter Clue
Hermione was on the front of the game
That he put in the back of his closet
He didn’t even know your name
The way you used, “My brother always had a crush on you” made me feel a personal connection to your family and it used the pathos to appeal to my emotions
Harry
Hotheaded and scarred
Ruffly haired and with glasses
Proud and confident
But huge hearted
Not noticing that he
puts himself last
behind everyone
From a magical series,
Potter
Spongebob squarepants
Always trying to be positive
and seeing the best in others
never afraid to be himself
he fried patties for any poor soul
so if you disagree then
who put you on the planet?
Ah SpongeBob Squarepants, a good classic kids T.V show. William You are right when you said he always trying to be positive, Since of all of the days I have watched him he has been his spongy self, letting us… soak up laughter hahahahaha.
I really like Spongebob too and what makes me like him is that like you said, ”Always trying to be positive and seeing the best in others.” I feel that that’s very true about him as he loves everyone and is always positive, a great lesson for kids.
My favorite youtuber is Faze Adapt.
He became my favorite youtuber
because he doesn’t care what others say,
he’s funny, nice, cool, and he’s basically himself.
What I like about him is that he tries to make everything fun.
He makes every video entertaining to watch.
Hope he doesn’t change his personality.
Ceil Phantomhive
Black Butler
About a year ago
I grabbed the wrong book
I didn’t realize it
So I checked it out from the library
And brought it home
I opened it
I emerged myself in the stories
Of a young boy
Mother and father murdered
Made a pact with a demon
His own blood spilled
The book enticed me
Making want to read more
With each volume
Making me more interested
Nikki
Dork diaries
I fell in love with that series when I was in elementary
I have never read that fast in my life
there is 10 books (I believe)
and I read up to number 7
I picked up a book
and read half of it without even knowing
It was as if I was addicted to that series
I read and read
Sometimes I would even stay up late or forget that I had other homework
because I would just read
I think I was obsessed because I could relate in some parts
and her books took me somewhere else
I could read anywhere
I didn’t care where I was
her books took me far away
and Made me happy
I smiled I laughed
I felt bad for her
and never payed attention to what was going on around me
Nikki
The one who made love reading at that time
My favorite Character Capt. Picard
The commander of the
USS Enterprise
a many of his word
a leader
but also
very
very
funny
And may I hope he will live long and prosper
My favorite character is SpongeBob
When I was little always, every day
He was funny
made me laugh
amusing to watch
different than the rest
did some hilarious things
was there with me through the sickness, sadness, happiness
I loved him and I watch him all the time
I can relate to when you say, “My favorite character is Spongebob, When I was little always, every day, ” because I used to always watch Spongebob when I was little and he would always make me laugh.
Peter Loew from “Vampires Kiss”
He freaks out at random things for no reason, and has a false thought that he is a vampire
When in reality, he never was
And he is pretty lonely in his empty apartment So there’s no surprise he is porbably a bit on The crazy side
He keeps bothering his assistant Alva
Which is extremely entertaining watching Peter Loew run after her to the girls bathroom
But even though his character is so out of control
There’s one thing I learned
It’s to never have false thoughts that could bring you to a bad end in life
My Heroine in the Stars
A tearjerker romance is where I found her
My heroine, my witty girl who tried to defy the odds
Meeting someone special and afflicted like her
Fighting through cancer treatments
And reaching out to hold each other’s hands
Falling in love over books and comments
And finding a lifetime within their few months together
Strong, determined, looking death in the eye
Realistic about what was to come
And finding a way to continue living her quality of life through her worst fears
Willing to stand up for her beliefs
And being able to put on a brave face even in the saddest of times
Hoping for a miracle for her loved one and not thinking of herself
Writing a eulogy for her loved one’s pre-funeral
Trying to hold in tears as she sees a smile upon his face
Not knowing that the final darkness was so near
Two young souls entwined together in their sickness
Two young souls entwined in their shared knowledge
Two young souls entwined in their love for one another
Two young souls willing to do anything just to have another day
Hazel Grace is my heroine
And her love for Gus shows us the true meaning of devotion
While these two know the fate that is waiting for them
They continue to lead their lives and enjoy it the best way that they can
The fault was in their stars
And there was nothing that could have been done to change it
Characters.
Any book, movie, play, or TV show has them.
How could I decide on one character that is “Best”?
Here’s the one from my favorite series:
Percy Jackson.
Starts in a normal school,
Then transfers to Half-Blood Camp.
Hero? No, just a normal demigod.
Saves much of the world from destruction.
Brings Zeus’ lightning bolt from a faraway place.
Saves his best friend from being eaten by a cyclops.
Maybe he’s a hero.
I like how you said, “How could I decide on one character that is “Best”?” because it sounds like you have read a lot of different books that have characters you like.
My arms stretching out towards an empty open sky
Where are you?
When are you coming home?
I can’t see you but I know you’re here
Watching
Waiting
I don’t see you anymore
And you’re never here when I need you the most
Where were you when I fell off my bike and skinned my knee?
Where were you when I broke my arm swinging from a tree?
Where were you when I stubbed my toe running on the sidewalk?
Cause you sure weren’t here
With me
Where you were supposed to be
Moriarty.
Why do you like to party?
So full of fun and passion,
my bad attitude,
and keen sense of fashion.
My acting is beyond stellar,
Richard Brook, the Storyteller.
And no, I’m not horrible
That’s just what they think,
Aren’t ordinary people adorable?
For you’re, not ordinary,
you’re me, plain extraordinary.
I will burn the heart out of you
because people will die.
That’s just what people do.
So come talk as I sip my tea
and I ask you, “Did you miss me?”
It’s raining, it’s pouring
don’t you know that
Sherlock is boring.
And yes, you’ll be chasing me to the ground.
And yes, you’ll be falling all the way down.
After you hear his soft sound
as I say
“Honey, you should see me in a crown.”
For after we’re gone, I’ll be stayin’ alive.
Grooving to the beat with which I jive.
And I know we will not bid adieu
as we know
IOU.
Even if I die, I will get a fill-in
for every fairytale needs a good, old villain.
And yes, you’ll still have you’re John
even when I’m gone
the game will still be on.
His name is Percy Jackson
Doesn’t fit in and has dyslexia
But his secret is he’s a demigod
Son of Poseidon, god of the sea
Just like others he doubts himself
But he ends up saving the day
He has survived the sea of monsters,
retrieved the golden fleece saving demigods,
returned Zeus’ lightning bolt
He is areal hero no matter what they tell him
She fought for her life,
she volunteered for her sister,
the hero who is 16 years old,
brave and daring,
“The girl on fire”,
who loathes the capitol,
Katniss Everdeen,
is an inspiration to many,
and the Hunger Games Trilogy,
will forever remain,
my favorite
I like how you didn’t reveal who the character was until the middle of the poem. It builds a lot of suspense and makes people curious to see who it is.
i like how you wrote,” will forever remain, my favorite.” because even if there are new characters then she will always be the best to you,
Her name is Candice King
The emotion that she showes is captivating
Her acting is breath taking
She dosen’t need practicing
She is so loving
She already is amazing
I don’t watch that much TV
or am able to connect to any of the characters in my books
but I do draw a lot of video game characters
and I fell like i can really understand them
he doesn’t have much of a personality in the video game
but id like to think of him as caring
independent
a risk taker
and even a bit sassy
drawing him has given me pride and makes me happy
He takes over my drawings
and the game he comes from has been my most resent obsession
I’m glad I was able to be introduced to this character
Bendy the Dancing Demon
From Bendy and the Ink Machine
Mark Watney (Main Character of “The Martian”)
His extreme bravery to venture,
Out in space,
Even though it’s an adventure,
It’s still scary,
His humor and sarcasm,
Helped him survive,
Without it,
He might not have been alive,
His perspective,
Made the movie and book,
More respective,
Which helped me understand.
Ben, do you think you are like Mark Watney in any way?
Beauty and the Beast: Belle
There’s a princess in every story,
A beauty for all to see,
A heart that’s warm and kind,
A mind that’s great and strong,
But what makes her different and unique,
Is the way she lowed a beast by not what he looks like,
But by the way he acts.
That when the last petal fell,
She’s loved him even more than before.
But who could ever learn to love a beast?
Belle can, and did.
She loved him wholeheartedly and never once did stop.
For a way to a beast’s’ heart is kindness.
Beautiful. Love the line “last petal fell.” It is almost like the beast was falling away to reveal the prince, but, in fact, Belle fell in love with the beast . Is there such a thing as falling in love with just some part of a person?
Belle is one of my favorite characters too! I agree with you on her being different and unique for falling in love with a beast, which is something that most would not do. I definitely think that there are certain parts of a person that people fall in love with.
Anthony Rizzo
My favorite athlete
My hero
some people think he’s cute
I like his talent
he’s also a 2016 world series champion
Well, he is a character. What makes him your favorite? What is his talent that others do not have?
Vanellope
Little girl with sweets,
All in her hair.
Used to be a Princess,
Until evil King Candy took over;
Making her “The Glitch”.
Getting excluded from all the other girls,
But still keeping her funny positive attitude.
Running into “The Bad Guy”,
And teaching him
He’s worth it.
All in Disney’s,
Wreck-It Ralph.
Is there any part of you like Vanellope? Positive attitude, perhaps?
I can relate to” Vanellope” because I also watched Wreck-it Ralph and really like her positive attitude too.
Batman,
He has no superpowers,
but he is still super ripped.
I want abs like that,
but I want to be able to do crazy parcore more.
Yes, yes, to the parcore!
Harry Potter
He puts himself before others
And is willing to die for them.
When I grow up,
I want to be that selfless.
He has power that he didn’t know about
And he went from zero to hero.
Sometimes, I feel like a nobody,
But Harry shows me that I can be somebody.
He is never afraid to fight the evils of his world
And eventually, he triumphs against them.
I am often afraid,
But I will one day be as brave as him.
Stephen curry is my favorite basketball player
I’ve watched him ever since he entered the league
at 6 years old
I watch him hit layups after layups
3s after 3s
half courts after half courts
I think when you said, “I’ve watched him ever since he entered the league,” you established a connection between you and Steph Curry.
Henry, I liked how you described Steph Curry, using the lines, “I watch him hit layups after layups, 3s after 3s, half courts after half courts, which shows the type of player he is, and how much you know about the subject, which expresses Ethos. I can also relate to the line, “Stephen Curry is my favorite basketball player”, because Stephen Curry is also my favorite as well. Go Warriors!
Roger
From American Dad
He is just so weird and way
different from other characters
He doesn’t have any superpowers
but he does have the power to
make you laugh, he is wacky
exciting , and very interesting
Roger
I like how you mentioned hes more different from the other characters, sometimes the more different character are the best.
I don’t have a favorite character
Because I (most of the time) don’t focus on the characters
I focus on the book

I love how you took on the first person point of view with this poem: “each challenge is a new day waiting for me.” Do you ever feel like son goku?
Damon Salvatore
A handsome man
Fearless like no other
Will protect you anytime
Can’t show his true feelings
Everyone thinks he is cold hearten
But all he wants is for someone
To believe him
This is a bit crazy,
but this guy is really lazy
his show comes from iceland
and his name is ROBBIE ROTTEN!!!
He want’s people of LazyTown to be inactive
but his enemy is active
he tries to get rid of the sports candy
and his new gang could come in handy
sadly the show ended in 2014
with the episode “Robbie’s Dream Team”
he will truly go down in history
as villain number one 🙂
The emoji and the ending line caught my eye, and as I read the whole poem, I was debating if this is true or not.
Is it true?
(btw I was laughing out loud when I read this poem.)
memes.
will never die.
Superman

And fly away
As usual
His qualities are flying,strength,and lasers
These qualities make him unique

Joy
You know from inside out?
The one who always puts stuff together
But could also mess things up
Yeah
She’s one of my favorite characters
Makes you laugh
Makes you want to watch the movie when you are feeling down
Makes you want to be the type of friend she is
Joy
the quality’s of the character that you described made me like her even more.
Rick
Stubborn
Funnt
Sarcastic
A grandparent i only dream of
A intergallactic criminal
The smartest man in the world
The journeys i could go on
I can go on
I can relate to when you said “the journeys I could go on” because if I knew one of my favorite characters in real life, then I would have more fun all the time.
She was my favorite character…
*was
*before
Never again.
This is interesting because we are talking about who is our favorite character, but he spoke on who was your favorite character. Very interesting and creative!
I thought you were going to write about Paul Walker.
makes you wonder who that character is and what you found so interesting in her, really cool.
Atticus Finch
I am in love with you
You are the ideal man:
Thoughtful father
Kindhearted neighbor
Responsible community member
What was Mrs. Finch like?
How would you have been different if she were part of the story?
You are a shining example of what we should all aspire to be
And yet another reason to read To Kill a Mockingbird.
A clever line is ” you are a shining example of what we should all aspire to be”. Because it shows that you are being kind to someone and you are passionate about this character. Nice job
My favorite character from a book,
is probably Harry Potter.
I like Harry because he is funny, brave, and quiet.
He is also the main character of the Harry Potter series.
I can relate to the part “I like harry potter because he is funny,brave, and quiet” because this are some of the main reasons why I really like and enjoy Harry Potter
I can relate to the part ” I like harry because he is funny ,brave, and quiet” because I think the same way of Harry
Ever since third grade,
Iv’e never wanted to be someone else.
(7th Period knows the story.)
I’ve learned that I was made as me for a reason,
and no matter what I want to be,
I can’t excel towards that dream personally.
I just don’t want to be,
someone else.
Living in my own shoes, is all I want.
I don’t need to be Percy Jackson,
or Harry Potter.
Not even Leo Valdez.
Colin is who I can make a difference with
in the world.
And that’s exactly what I plan to do.
The phrase “I don’t need to be Percy Jackson, or Harry Potter. Not even Leo Valdez.” got me thinking about how you should love yourself for who and what you are. You don’t need to change your personality because what’s special is that you are you.
I like how you don’t want to be anyone else, you just wanna be yourself
when you said ” I don’t want to be someone else” I felt the same connection because you shouldn’t need to be someone else
I can relate to the part “and that’s exactly what I plan to do” because that’s also my goal in this world.Your words “I don’t need to be Percy Jackson” and so on,because it feels as if you put alot of feeling into this,it was an amazing poem to be honest 🙂
You were very creative when you decided to talk about how you were your favorite character. Thank you for posting this!
I like how you said, “I’ve learned that I was made as me for a reason, and no matter what I want to be, I can’t excel towards that dream personally,”. It is very clever and it’s good advice for the reader.
This poem though.
It really makes sense and I can agree with it perfectly. You can make the difference, not the character. The idea behind this poem is comparable to critical thinking.
(wait what story?)
Harry Potter
He is brave , courageous, and determined.
He is my favorite character because of all he has been through,
and all the action making me interested
He is also a savior.
He saved Hogwarts,
He saved the people inside Hogwarts,
and he also saved his friends.
.
I like how you were talking about all of his good qualities”he is brave , courageous , and determined
Katniss Everdeen
I can’t leave Peeta
I won’t admit it
But I am in love with him
Not just for the games
Not just to stay alive
I am truly in love
With his smile
With his hair
With his eyes
I don’t care if I don’t make it out of the games
I don’t deserve it
He does
He always will
Benteke
Tall
Strong
Skillful
Powerful
Better than you
Benteke
Celia
Crazy
Energetic
Lazy
Intelligent
Always falling
She is from reality.
He’s held the weight of the world for a long time
I doubt that he knows what im talking about
A hero to many but a young foolish boy with dyslexia to others
He’s been there since day 1
The son of Neptune
Afraid of drowning
When he has the powers
Favorite character
Patrick from “Spongebob”
Favorite qoute from patrick was
“Is mayonaisse an instrument?”
What makes him cool, is that he is funny/dumb
A good best friend to have
Patrick star
I like how you used Patrick as a character because like you said he’s funny and dumb and I wouldn’t have thought of him
I like how you put ” a good friend to have,” because that shows why he is one of your favorite characters.
I like how you put in a quote that Patrick said it gives the reader an idea
A character that I admire
In my own storybook,
Is my father.
He was my superman
To my young eyes.
I remember,
Every time I did something wrong,
He would say,
“Ay mi Lalita. Que hiciste?”
He seemed so funny and cool,
As I now flip through the memories of my mind.
Now I found myself
Forgetting these memories.
But I
can’t.
My dad will continue to live inside of me
As I think about him everyday.
i can related to the part”ow I found myself
Forgetting these memories.
But I
can’t.
My dad will continue to live inside of me
As I think about him everyday” because
i am losing more and more memories of
my dad and he left me at the age of 3 i
don’t know him anymore.
First off really great poem!! I like how you used your life as a story book and the most beloved character in your book was your father. Really touching piece.
She doesn’t look for other’s approval
in everything that she does.
Because of the things she accomplishes
she makes the world applause.
She doesn’t have to put on a mask
and hide from the world.
Not below anyone else
because she’s super girl
She’s not afraid to say what she wants,
she’s not afraid to stand up off the ground.
She can talk to anyone
no matter how scary they sound.
When you say “she doesn’t” or ” She can” it makes the poem more powerful in a way because it makes her seem that she is powerful, she does not take “no” for an answer, and she just does whatever she wants which i think makes everything/ the poem better.
your character seems interesting because you said “She’s not afraid to say what she wants”
i like the phrase “She doesn’t have to put on a mask
and hide from the world” i thought it was a very good
use and it played a big part in the poem in my eyes.
When you said ” shes not afraid to stand off the ground” I felt like I was a little girl again imagining super girl flying high in the sky care free ready to make her own destiny
I can’t believe it
It happened to me
In the blink of an eye it was over
It felt like a dream
Birds chirping
Movie playing
Puppy barking
Scratching at the door
A special moment
For just us to know
A beautiful day
Where the flowers grow
I don’t want to lose
This thing that we’ve got
I find parts of myself
I’d never thought
The moment flew by
In the blink of an eye
But standing there
It felt perfect
This poem is very good, I liked when you said “I don’t want to lose this thing that we’ve got, i find parts of myself I’d never thought”. It touched my heart.
Messi,
Dribbles past,
1
2
3
Their whole team.
(Like always)
Messi lines a shot.
With all his FORCE,
Its like a rocket,
Nearly breaks the net,
GOAL!
Neymar,
Sombrero past one,
Elastico past one,
Nutmegged one,
Dribble past one.
He saw one of his teamates
like a hawk,
Perfect pass.
Teamate shots the ball
GOAL!
I love this ☺️, So glad Barcelona took the win yesturday ? ⚽️ (April 23)
This poem has great detail, good job !
They always ask “do you live under a rock?”
I answer “yes,” because it’s true
I’m bestfriends with something that cleans cars, and dishes
And I’m pretty dumb also
I am a musician though
I play the mayonaise
One time I lost my head, literally
Who am I
I’ve always wanted to be
wait for it
Wonder Woman
ever since
I saw Diana spin.
Daughter of Zeus
some say
but raised
by women.
Amazonian training
arsenal of technology
Lasso of Truth
Bullet deflecting bracelets
and
wait for it
a tiara
a projectile
to defeat all villians.
No damsel in distress
so common in comics
no, Wonder Woman
reminds all
that women
can be
beautiful and strong
with or without
a tiara.
Poetry is my lasso.
Books are my bracelets.
Teaching is my tiara.
i really like this, i love it when you said “wait for it” because it almost leaves it at suspense and almost makes it dramatic as we could have never guessed what you wanted to be. I also like when you referred you teaching to a characters weapons/ equipment.
nice job Dr.Donovan i liked everything
The writer in me noticed that you used a few metaphors at the end. Poetry is my lasso.Books are my bracelets. Teaching is my tiara. Nice comparison!
