Edgar Allen Poe effect

Edgar Allen Poe is a famous poet and story writer. In one of his stories "tell tale heart" he uses repetition through out the whole story. i think that the repetition is to emphasize the feeling of the story. It makes the words scarier and i causes a bigger effect on the reader. I highly suggest reading it. Anyway, I tried to imitate this and I came up with this:

The darkness is chilling, chilling me to the bone.
But the darkness doesn't cover me fast enough.
I still saw his blood stained clothes, his wide eyes in shock.
I still felt his touch, now shaking, shaking in fear.
He pressed his lips to mine one final time.
He whispered " I love you forever."
with that I was falling, falling deep, into an endless sleep.


I don't know if it has the same effect. If you want to check out his story here is a link. any advice is appreciated..vixroadsrginia.edu/~hyper/poe/telltale.html

the end of the month post #1

Most of my poems where free verse. That is the type of poetry I do best. however, next month I will try to add more of a variety. I will also start analyzing different types if poetry and poems I find. I will also talk about some famous poets who have inspired me in the past and talk about how they write their compositions. This month was kind of my way of getting acquainted to my new topic, I promise I will do better next month!

summer- hiku

glittering water

underneath a shining sky

smelling summer air.

 

this is the first hiku I ever wrote! I was in the fifth grade, and we had a poetry unit. Incase you didn't know a hiku is a poem that is usually three lines long. the first and last line are five syllables and the middle line has seven. these poems are also generally about nature. 

summer please come

When the leaves are fleeing,

That's the trees way of bleeding,

It's way of pleading-for summer to come.

It's way of saying,

"stop the chilling. I'll wait forever, or I'll fade away."

 

 

 



If love is darkness

If love is darkness,

what is hate?

An endless path of misery,

an oblivion of pain?

your way of life.

the way you play the game?

the destruction of lives,

evil could be the name.

if love is darkness

hate is the same.

Mi Amor

Mi amor, my love,

the key to my heart.

I can't breathe,

when we are apart.

when I'm with you- I laugh.

when you are gone- I cry.

I love you so much,

you know the reason why.

my favorite quote

"You don't write because you want to say something,

you write because you have something to say"

~F. Scott Fitzgerald
