First poem

Mindset 

People’s thoughts are powerful

Just like the creator of the windmill 

Never doubt yourself or be shameful 

Could devour a whole will

Causing a big disaster 

Created or open new adventure

 This could lead to venture 

It’s so Unpredictable 

It’s like an army that is invincible 

Once you have the vision

You choose the right decision 

Obstacle would come 

Think back to what you want to become 

There’s a lot to be discovered 

New ideas to be uncovered

So where you are 

Just reflect back to your thoughts.

Second poem

Taught 

Benefit is gained later 

Don’t seem to appreciate the lessons 

Pain and struggle made 

Dad and mom sacrifice

Must be happy with what you get 

What action would you take 

When you get no help

Have to hustle and work hard 

To continue living 

 Flashback the lesson 

Knowledge have to play a role 

Where it all started 

Home.

Third poem 

     Takeover

Actions to ambush

Fear against death 

Humanity in a rush 

What will be your path 

Bar, Native american protect 

Colonist on land 

Winner takes power 

The other side is belittle

Weapons, resource,culture, and shelter

Issues start to rise 

Things become rough 

What will happen when you escape

Would you be captured and slain?

Fighting back is the only option 

At the end you suffer the repercussions.

‘’ Bar Fight “by Lucy Terry 

 Poem 4

     Lessons

If you never experience failure

Economic going down, not get the result 

Glorious failure, and fire

Then you are missing out 

Oh lord, suffer.

Start questioning myself

Why is this happening ?

Adrenaline so high    

Turn red like the apple 

Breath in, breath out 

Gotta keep grinding 

Effort, Action, Dedication, 

Deal with the punishment 

Punishment from the moment you procrastinated 

Work harder than before 

Gotta make it 

These are the options

Face or chicken out from a challenge 

No more silence

Advocated, Fight, and Focus

  Poem 5 

        Enjoyable

I went to the park

Park is where I’m heading 

Play soccer and have fun

“ Orale Wey “ 

Soccer ball I kick

Out of breath

Push, pull, pin, press, and penalty 

I run, jump, slide, dodge, score

Ball is like prey o

Keep fighting till the end 

“ Attacka a ese caprone “ 

Grit, social intelligence and bravery

Every minute counts for success

Win or lose depend on the team 

At the end we all handshake

Another day, another ball will be waiting

To begin, the first poem is a rap poem. Rap poem basically has to rhyme with the last word of each line but it has to make sense and tell a story. In this poem simile, assonance, true rhymes, anaphora, and enjambment are included. Try to demonstrate prosody by having every word rhyme and continue or back up the concept of mindset. My topic is about the mindset because we as humans tend to forget that what we feed our mind is the vibe or the output that we get. By the output, the result that you keep extracting, and the type of energy an individual has which is being continuing. For instance, you spill coffee on your shirt and then you fall with a stack of paper to the ground causing you to have this negative energy which allows other negativity to follow you since you keep getting mad. Furthermore, in line 9 “ It’s like an army that is invincible, “ a simile is performed which compares two objects using the word “ like” and “as.” This quote exposes the idea that the brain of a person is powerful to cause a major shift to the society by improving a company or starting something new which could either impact another person’s life by making tasks easier. Therefore, what a person comes up with could spark a new movement. 

Second poem follows the Haiku style where there’s 5-7-5 syllables integrated in the three lines for every stanza. This poem was difficult because certain words were chosen to stand out the most and organize the format of elaborating my thoughts. Poem is pathos which focus on emotion and has enjambment, assonance, consonance, and litotes. There are three stanzas to continue my flow of lessons taught by parents, we learn the main factors in our life that makes us survive in the world. Lesson means what is right and wrong, advocating for myself, stepping out of my comfort zone, and hard work to get what is desired.  An example of me being grateful to my dad is that he maintains my whole family by giving me the resources I need as I grew up, such as clothes, shelter, and food. Also, making me look for a job which was a harsh time but I manage to end up getting a job and learning how to write a resume by myself which made me realize that I could do anything in this world as long as I put my mind to it. However, my objective was to make the audience to trace or flashback a moment in their life where their parents help them go to the next stage. To recognize the beauty of having their family there when something occurred. 

Third poem is a free verse. Free verse poems basically don’t follow rhyme and any sort of rhyme scheme. The use of assonance, enjambment, ellipsis, and true rhyme since I decided to be a little bit different is to highlight the action done by Native American and the colonists. This poem was describing how native american were defending their land. Since Terry made Native American seen as an “awful creature” that was hurting the colonists. Line 10 “ Issues start to rise, “ is meant to expose the turning point when the two group of people start to use violence. 

Fourth poem explicitly talks about the lessons that we as humans tend to learn from the mistakes made in our daily activity and the knowledge gained from the event. This is a free verse poetry, pathos, logo, I still did some rhyme and incorporated true rhyme, personification, simile, enjambment, and ellipsis. Some lessons in these poems are economic going down, not getting the result, glorious failure, and fire. Economic going down concept is when a business or a person experience loss of money due to something not doing so well. Not get the result we want; refer to the moments when you like something but for some reason can’t have. Glorious failure is defined by the knowledge or key takeaway you gain from certain situations. Fired related to jobs dismissed or no longer need you as an employee. Line  20 “ Advocated, Fight, and Focus,” stood out because as an individual, a person has to speak for themselves, grit becomes important, and have the format or know the format that the person is going to work toward. 

Fifth poem I decide to use syntax and it’s a free verse poem. The poetic/ rhetorical devices are alliteration, asyndeton, polysyndeton, simile, and enjambment. Tried to involve lexicon in this poem as well. The poetic/ rhetorical devices were a way to make my poetry interesting and entertaining. Syntax was a way to make my ideas in a good format .

The main purpose is to elaborate the idea of what I do at the park. In line 7-8 “ Push, pull, pin, press, and penalty, I run, jump, slide, dodge, score, “ described the action done in a soccer game and the excitement it gets as the game becomes more intense. In a soccer game violence starts to arise when the each team are try to score in order to take the victory.
