The Edge authors veiwpoint

In "The Edge Is Where I want to be" The author; Lisa Martinovic makes her point and view point on life somewhat clear its to live life on the Edge but not past it because you'll lose everything. He states his opinion in the text but in an implyive way the poet tries to prove this statement in many ways she talks about the trouble in society and how somepeople aree afraid to get to the edge even though the author claims its the best feeling you can possibly have. And i agree with that statement because of proof like this"baby, if your not on the edge you're sleepwalkning through life" I also feel like the author wants us readers to know the difference between the "mushy middle" which you just live your life without any excitement what so ever and never expeirence that; bitting your nails,heartrate increasing, shaky feeling cus your too far from the edge to feel it.and when your on the edge you get that feelin repeatidly and keeps your life alive instead of grey and boring.

imagery poem

The Winter on the Beach

I see the silent snowflakes scribbling all over the florr as if they were in a race
but only one actually had the strength to get to the floor w/o desinigrating
as my foot slowly crept foot by foot i reached the tan sand which the sea had not renched upon yet
i picked my had up to see wether or not the sun was still out and all i saw a light blue,then a few inches later Navy blue and then i saw red then came the smowflakes they were coming down like they had no anticipation on stopping the white speckles became smaller each day until feburary when it completely stopped and after march all i saw was the beach get crowdider and then it was filled with all these different colors. After that i gave up waiting for snowflakes to slowly fall across my face

Where i Am from poem

I am from the silent town of Flushing

From the park that you always saw me in
I am form the couple Temiko and Anthony from their little apartmen in Jamica where
every saturday we listened to their favorite radio station while we listened to their favorite radio station (even though mines was z100) while we vaccumed and cleaned every spick and spot in the apartment
I am from New York Medical Hospital Of Queens where me and my 2 little brothers were born
I am from the cancer in My Deceased Grandmothers Breast that caused the whole faily pain even though she was out of it.
I am from the sighting of my new home with the corner store i watched close.
I am from the water in the pool that i would rather be in right now
I am from the invisible exclamation in my teachers voice
i am frim McDonalds somewhere i can be happy and be myself

Object poem

Object Poem-Door Mat


Day by Day i get pased by on
I don't talk back unless spoken to
Bug and rodents hide all over me
I am turning grey
i am tired
no longer do i want to wait outside 247
during winter i am always wet
People are fat
once in a while they don't just walk inside the house
They just stand there on me for 20 minutes just talking about the devil child
He's the devil i swear all he does is spit on me
i am done
i am ready to give up
but i can't move
so i just have to wait tilll i tear

My Favorite Poem So Far

Hmmm if I had to pick which poem that we've read in Ms A.'s class would defiently be Shihans "This Type Love". I remember the first time i Read that poem. His words had a big meaning about love and some of the things being in love could do to you and the things that your going to be willing to give up. And actually watching him in person saying this is a sight fpr spre eyes. You don't want to stop looking and listening. He speaks, not like a stuck up person who's just tryna make a quick buck. But a real person who is in love and wants everyone to know what being in love is really like and the sacrafices you make when you hit a certain type of love. He uses many ways to show this and i consider them different types of metaphors since most of the poem consist of these. That is why "This Type Love" is my favorite poem so far
