Poem: Mountain farmer

I was staying in a snowy mountain lodge on Monday,
with the realization of learning that

I must wake at the crack of dawn
to the sounds of chicken crows.

I wake up to miss the kiss of my wife
which would be nice.

I am sad, sour, and sore with the sound of snakes hissing.
They only hiss at me,

or am I the only thing they see
no that cant be.

Because my family is here with me,
to run the farm with so the whole world can see.

Techniques used: Assonance, sibilance, euphony, cacophony

  1. I like how you used many words that started with the same letter. Your poem has many moods in it which is interesting.

Story in the Summer Week Two

I was at my house with my friend Ben. Ben and I decided to go outside and play basketball. We decided to play horse. It was a close game but I beat Ben in the game even though Ben is a lot better then me at basketball. Ben was really angry because I won by making a shot that I probably I would never make again.  Ben and I then decided to play a one on one game to twenty-one. I went up twelve to four then Ben started to make a comeback and had the game within four points. I then hit a three in which put me up on Ben fifteen to eight. I eventually one the game twenty-one to seventeen. I was happy because I usually never beat Ben in basketball because he has played it a lot longer then I did.
