Metal Blue School Chairs

It squeaks, wobbles, and its stiff

Painful to sit on

Wooden School Lockers

My school bag can't fit in it.

crowded all the time

Tanka Poem

Blogger Assignments

Sometimes may be troublesome

It makes you think hard

It takes some times to do it

Due on the day its assigned.

The cold, cold river

flows down from the high mountains

melted from glaciers

clear as a clean glass window

full of living organisms.

As leaves fall downwards
It's like a ballerina
dancing in the air
so gentle and beautiful
But soon it lands on the ground.

Elements of Poetry

The most important elements of poetry are character, plot, and rhyme. In poetry, most of the time the poem is about a specific object or character. Usually describing the object, such as how good or bad it is. Without a character in a poem, there would be no topic. Some poems tell stories, and stories requires a plot, or else there would be nothing but random statements. Stories need plots to state what's going to happen. At last what a poem needs is rhyme. Rhyme is the artistic part of a poem. Without it, the poem would not sound or look like a poem. All the elements above are all similar to normal writings expect for rhyme. In most writings such as an essay, it is made to explain something which should let the reader be clear of what the writer is talking about. In poems, writers use elements such as rhyme to make the poem more artistic.

What Does Poetry Do

Poetry has a different feel compare to other forms of writings. In poems, writers tend to use more similes, metaphors, and other figure of speeches. Poems and stories sometimes could have similar things such as telling a story; sometime poems could tell stories too. Poems could do the same thing as other writings could do, which is being able to form stories or songs. In fact, a lot of songs now are pretty much poems. Songs like rap has some rhymes in it. Another different between poetry and writings is that poetry have short lines which form stanzas. In an essay, paragraphs are constructed by a group of sentences. Also, in poems, there is no correct grammar. In order to make the poem more artistic, writers sometimes don't follow the correct grammar rules. Writings are sometimes more clear and easy to understand then poetry. In essays, writers use clear and specific adjectives and description to make the thing the writer is describing as clear as possible. In poems, writers use similes and metaphors, which are sometimes harder to understand. Readers might need to focus more on the poem then reading an essay or other stories.

Spring Break

During the ten-day spring break that we had, my classmates and I went on a fun graduation trip to Club Med in Bali Island. Yes, I wanted to leave Taiwan for the break, which we did. In the resort, we did a variety of events and activities. The one that I love the most was the rafting. We took a two hours ride up a mountain for rafting. In the river, there are various rapids, rocks, and drops. It was about an hour ride down the river back to the base. Rolling the raft was tiring even when there was 6 people on the raft, but it was a very fun experience to have. The food there was also pretty good. It was a buffet-styled restaurant. There was several types of food there. The restaurant includes all three meals. After about three days we ate there, the food became pretty repetitive. This became pretty annoying to eat the same things over and over again. When we came back from the amazing trip. I realized that school is going to start in three days. I was both pretty surprised and sad. I was surprised that time flies very fast, I was also sad because school is starting.
