ReplyDeleteI liked your poem and your use of repetition. It was a good poem.
ReplyDeleteI like how you repeated "I am" throughout your whole poem. Great use of repetition and rhyme scheme.
ReplyDeleteAlyssa,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have a strong supportive group of family and friends close by your side. Keep up the good work.
I enjoyed your poem in how you described everybody and everything your from in great detail, it was really good. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGo Alyssa!! This was really good! I like how you incorporated every little thing that made you this way. That Jillian girl sound really cool, probably really pretty too .
ReplyDeleteI liked how you got in depth with the people that made you who you are like your friends, brothers, and mom. It was really well put!
ReplyDeleteI liked how each stanza is a different thing you are from.
ReplyDeleteYou had a very good poem! I feel you on the brothers part! I have two aggravating brothers, so totally on the same page!
ReplyDeleteI loved your poem Alyssa it was wonderful. So I have to ask am I fake friend or a real one? Just kidding but I loved the part about your mom it was sweet and I loved it so much. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI like how you reflected on how the people you know affect you and who you are as a person.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem. Being able to pick out the real friends from fake friends can save you a lot of heartbreak. Keep on being you, you're great!
ReplyDeleteAlyssa, I love how your poem told so much about you. One part that stood out to me was, "I am from the people who made me this way. / I am me." That really gave the poem a perfect finish.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been hard to think of sentences for each stanza, I liked it though! Good job :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad we are friends. I love how you state that the bad and good define who you are. No matter what I will be here for you. <3 this is very well written
ReplyDeleteI like how you said so much about your family, the good and the bad, and how each of them are what makes you, you.
