Why do I love pop?
by Noah Alter
Why do I love pop?
Is it because it tastes so good?
Is it because there is such a variety?
Is it because of Mountain Dew?
Is it because of Dr. Pepper?
Is it because of Coke?
Is it because of Pepsi?
Is it because of Root Beer?
Is it because of Diet Coke?
Is it because of Ginger Ale?
Is it because of Coca-Cola Zero?
Is it because of Orange Pop?
Is it because of Mellow Yellow?
Is it because of Diet Pepsi?
Is it because of Cherry Pepsi?
Is it because of Grape Pop?
Is it because of Sprite?
Is it because of Sierra Mist?
Is it because of Hanks?
Is it because of Stewarts?
Is it because of Birch Beer?
Is it because of the fizz?
Is it because of the different flavors?
Is it because of the arousing feeling after you drink a sip?
Is it because it is cold?
Why do I love pop?
One of my favorites! My slam poem will be up next! Stay tuned! Thanks for reading!
Americana Pentameter
by Noah Alter
John gone now at the age of 95,
He is a resident of a tiny town.
It is called Emerson, Pennsylvania,
He was also one of the councilman-
Of the borough of his community.
He took a part in the lives of others.
He was also known by the name Jippy.
He was a great and friendly guy to all!
He would always be on the corner-
Ready to say "Hi" to anyone near!
He also loved German food, wine and beer!
He always said, "Es schmeckt sehr gut zu mich!"
He was a well-known man to me and you!
Anyone who didn't know Jippy should.
He was a guy that everyone needed!
There is not much more I can say, but
He was a heck of a guy to be with!
It is too sad that he is gone from us!
He passed away in the Frick Hospital.
It was September 21st's morning!
A sudden thing to his friends and family!
The viewing will be only Friday night!
There will be a mass the next day at 10.
It will be at the Saint Joseph's Parish.
My Americana Pentameter poem will be up tomorrow. I am working on it. It will be up tomorrow after noon. Stay tuned! - Noah Alter
Eliot Re-Mixed
by Noah Alter
What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow,
Leaves grow off the branches,
What is it to grow old?
When the leaves do,
They would change,
And fall!
Out the sky it came
Rain fell,
Made the trees grow,
And then things would grow!
Break, break, break,
The branches and leaves would fall,
The fall time came and dying of the leaves began.
The tree was now waiting for spring to come again.
Whose woods these are I think I know.
The trees were now bear,
Only brown you can see,
Time for winter to come!
A sunset's mounded cloud,
The sun falls down over the mountain,
Such a pretty sunset!
Time for the night to come.
So early it's still almost dark out.
The fall is truly here.
Dark at 7 to early for me.
Now the sun has gone,
And tomorrow is soon to come!
McDonald's
by Noah Alter
McDonald's is a place where you can eat,
Go through the door,
And you will fly up in the air in a beat!
Such an arousing smell,
It will tingle your nose,
No other smell with give you such an wonderful smell!
McDonald's is a place where you can eat,
Either a Big Mac or a Quarter Pounder,
You will fly up in a beat!
Just a taste,
For it is just wonderful!
It is not just a paste.
Give it a chance!
It won't taste bad!
It is a great chance!
McDonald's is a place where you can eat,
Eat it in a heart beat!
For it is just pure health food.And you will fly up in the air in a beat!
Simile - A figure of speech in which two things are compared using the word "like" or "as." An example of a simile using like occurs in Langston Hughes's poem Harlem: "What happens to a dream deferred?/ Does it dry up/ like a raisin in the sun?'
Birds
Chirping non-stop, like a machine in the trees,
Building their nest like little worker bees.
They sing their songs, like chatter-boxes.
As regular as alarm clocks,
Waking people up each day.
They are silent at night,
Like snakes advancing on prey.
Poetry by Natasha Niemi
The Fall
It is like Spring,But not the same as Spring.
It gives as much relief from the Summer to Spring,
as Pizza does to me.
Not as bad as summer!
For it is not as miserably hot as summer.
It is like Spring not to hot nor to cold!
Poetry by Noah Alter
Personification - A figure of speech in which nonhuman things or abstract ideas are given human attributes: the sky is crying, dead leaves danced in the wind, blind justice.
My Town
The leaves on the ground danced in the wind
The brook sang merrily as it went on its way.
The fence posts gossiped and watched cars go by
which winked at each other just to say hi.
The traffic lights yelled, ”Stop, slow, go!”
The tires gripped the road as if clinging to life.
Stars in the sky blinked and winked out
While the hail was as sharp as a knife.Poetry by Sharon Hendricks
Wild Fire
The flames were flying with the wind!
The trees screamed while they were burning!
Yelling why won't you rain on me!
The sky would never let its tears go!
For the forest died and were buried six feet under!
Poetry by Noah Alter
Hyperbole - A figure of speech in which deliberate exaggeration is used for emphasis. Many everyday expressions are examples of hyperbole: tons of money, waiting for ages, a flood of tears, etc..
Flower Poem
The flower snakes from the cold ground.
Something once beautiful:
Disguised by the unmerciful forces of nature.
Its petals red as blood-
Smeared across each vein.
Its leaves are frail and dying.
The night sky, a dark background,
Hiding the creatures that lurk,
Suspiciously within the trees.
Its image:
Scratched, as if human kind had tried to erase it from memory.
But the image still lives,
Still breathes,
Still thrives,
Chilling me and my thoughts.
Poetry by Danielle N. Davis
Driver's License
I have had my permit for years now!
I have been waiting for hundreds of years!
I don't think I'll ever get it!
I makes me loose my hair in the anticipation!
My license will never come!
