Introduction
These poems are all written based off of my, Miciah’s, opinions. I have a distinct perspective on religion, therefore I chose to write a poem describing hate and love and how I thing religion is a dumb idea. My poem is titled “Hate and Love”, based off of the poem “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost. In it I concur to what religion claims, symbolically saying that religion is wrong and not serious. I used the same exact syllables and rhyme scheme as “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost. “Pie” is simply an original poem by me. It has no significant meaning what-so-ever. I also have a sense of humor therefore I wrote poems that are humorous yet meaningful if the reader decides to read deeper into the meaning of “Clothes”. In this poem I humanized clothes to the point where clothes are smart and can do actions. Again, if the reader reads deep into this poem, he/she can see that family is symbolized as the clothes. In the first two lines, the reader can read that “Family” (the clothes) keeps you from being embarrassed. I also wrote a short haiku titled “My Name Is”. I titled this after one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite rappers, “My Name Is” by Eminem. In this Haiku, based off of the original poem “After Basho” by Carolyn Kizer, I describe myself as a person that people who don’t know me well just see me as a kid by the name of Miciah. But for those who know me can call me “friend” whether or not they really are a good friend. This is based off of my first few weeks of high school here at Sacred Heart, a lot of people didn’t know me as a person but they knew of me/ just knew my name. I used the three unrhymed lines of five, seven and five syllables found in the haiku “After Basho” by Carolyn Kizer. “Once Called Home” is a meaningful poem that I related with my really years about my life before and during fostercare before I got adopted. This poem that I wrote is based off of “Tyger” by William Blake. I chose this poem as the model for
