My picture poem.

My picture was of my father and me. We were at a country dance for Girl Scouts. My poem used many details and poetic devices. This is my poem.

Excitement filled me up.

Not knowing what to expect,

We walked in together being dressed alike.

As we went in a smell so tempting greeted us at the door.

It turned into a delight of food like one would find at the Dixie Stampede.

Then we danced in a square and in a line.

We all gathered around in a shpare of a horse's shoe.

To find out who surpassed who.

In my mind I was ready for triumph,

Names were being called,

I was filled hope,

Waiting to hear mine,

Finally it came,

We had won for the reason that we were best dressed.

I like my poem. I think that it explains what happened that night very well. Like other posts I also do believe that poetry is personal because it something that you create. In some poetry people might feel like they should keep it to themselevs, but they shouldn't. Writing poetry can be hard for that reason; not wanting to put yourself out there to much. I like this assignment it was good to get a chance to create my own poetry.
