Poem - Tamai

Throughout the week we have been focusing on writing poems with a meaningful  hidden message. My poem is about one person that is my role model and someone I love the most. My Loving Tamai (Dad) Here is my poem!

Dad

A light that beams with joy

Through bad or good cases

The lighthouse which guides

When there is only darkness

In your light I forget my misery

For I can face them tomorrow

A light that I look up to

To seek guidance and wisdom

A light so peaceful and tranquil

That shines a path as a guide

A light that I follow after

For it is my sun that shines

A light as bright as the sun

A light as pure as its sins

The light of the sun which

We receive, give much joy

and ecstasy

Task - Write a poem about the Term 1 2018

Term 1 Poem

This term was filled with enjoyment and excitement

Full of many activities and new teachers

New jobs and monitors

House captain and ambassadors

School filled with many new children

And new friendships have been made

The feeling of a throw up comes as you receive your first certificate this year

New role models and the beginning of the last

Making the most of the most memorable year in life

Around the World - Poem, Today Feels Dreadful

My Ratings : 9

Author : Taylor Loslein

Summary : 

I think that the poem talks about how much the person's depression has taken over him/her. Its about how 'useless' this person think he/she is and how this person is sometimes forgotten. 

My Thoughts :

 Aside from how sad this poem is, I think that the metaphors that the author used as well as the words that they used really expanded the poem more. Meaning that the words really made the readers understand the poem more.
