1: I chose determination, because to make something to your perfection, you have to be determined to it. Many kids say their goal in life; their dream, but can never achieve it, because their determination is to low to deserve it. Ladies and gentlemen I want our children to see first-hand what determination really is.
2: Lyric Poem: A poetic form that is most dear to you, that basses the poem off of your personal thoughts. This form is all about you. EX. My life is a running river Flowing from the top to the bottom I’ve known many hills and valleys But when I “my” ocean I’ll be free Though it shall came, let it come through lessons Easy, but not to abundant Let my cup be deep and wide.
3: Elegy: A poetic form that is written for mourning. It usually tells a story about how someone dies. If it's by sickness or cold blooded murder. EX. Death, UNFORGIVING, DREADFUL, and POISONESS It forces itself onto you like a virus It shows how even the caring can die October 16, 2005 a police officer gets called to Help out with a dispute in his district. He gets stopped by his commander and chief Only to find out in his defeat he gets stabbed four times Jealousy, because one’s job means more than another Only for his family to witness a 2nd degree murderer become free Because of being a Good Samaritan in prison Is this still justice, is the scale still balanced? To me it has always been slanted We need a brave new world. To me believing in nothing is better than Trying to believe in this country we live in today.
4: Sonnet: Sonnets are, but can have the most readers, because of the meaning you can easily put into the sonnet. A sonnet has fourteen lines, but you have to rhyme the last word of every other line. EX.
5: Let it mold Allow people to grow Let it fold But will our life still flow This generation is confused I am regretfully one But are we being mentally abused? However our goal still has to be done Some will lead Others will most definitely follow I must secede Before my dream becomes mellow Always know who you are Because it will always be your life Don’t go by afar We must all die with strife

7: Elegy: for a South African tank commander We, from the outposts, meeting you half-blind and lost among your ruins, we must call on ancient, common ancestry to find a voice to match our young worlds, walking tall - and not the bitter, witty, weary strain of greatness haunted by decline and fall. Butler often likes to compare his childhood life in his books and poems. Nevertheless, he doesn’t usually talk about his life in general; he puts a person in his shoes and talks about that persons experience in his shoes.
