The most powerful figurative language

The most figurative language in this poem was hyperbole. The reason is she over exaggerated on the shapes colors and sizes of the birds in her poem. Out of nine lines there were no more figurative language, and there were no clich'es in the whole poem. This poet is a very smart person and intelligent person as far as it goes when it's time to write poems. Another reason this is the only powerful part of figurative language because, this person basically wanted to have more interest in to poems.

Conclusion based on Good Poetry

The conclusion I came up with is that every poem that is good also has a good percentage of ajectives, verbs, and nouns. The poem is a good poem, because good poetry doesn't use a lot of adverbs and ajectives. The linking verbs are used a little but not to much it might make the poem cheesey. Then every percentage came out to be in the 90 to 80 percent range that is good that A+ material. that just give me more ideas about my poems and can also help me keep away from all the different words that turns a good poem bad. I also learned if I use less linking and more action and ajectives my poem will be able to be read and the person reading will be interested and understand my feeling in the poem or picture what I pictured when I wrote it.

Vivid Pictures of nouns in my mind

The nouns that I picture in my mind are the birds,colors, sizes, and the ground. The reason is because, i just can picture the birds eating and fighting eachother over food on the ground. When birds are fed they are fed what you give them and there isn't any telling how manybirds are going to come down to eat. When they do you see birds gong for the same piece of food. The nouns are all used in the correct way in this poem. She has very little abstact nouns, and the concrete nouns are used correcttly also. This poem helped me notice how to make my poem mmore concrete in nouns and ajectives.

Your Mother hopesyou can send us a kind of book that tells about birds.There is one the folks called snowbirds, they eat on the ground,we had the girl sprinkle extra there, but say,they eat something awful. I sent the girl to townto buy some more feed, she had to go anyway.
