Rap

My raps are so much tighter than yours

You'll be so upset you will be crying on the floor

I don’t need to try, to be the best

If you want to try and fight me, be my guest

You don’t want to try to mess with me

I’ll have you runnin away in one two three

Have you ever even made a rap?

I haven’t so what?

If you test me you are bound to get punched

I don’t want to rap anymore

I’m gonna leave now cause i’m getting bored

Jackson’s I have seen poem has lots of good imagery and I could easily picture those things happening.  I think that he chose an abstract noun something along the lines of disappointment in not being able to complete your dreams.  I like that he said that he brings some people joy but he will always be tears of a young boy.  I think the people he is referring to as gaining happiness from it would be people that want to see others fail to complete their goals.  I think that the poem is about working and working to complete your dreams to just have it all taken away.

Greta’s I have seen poem, Never Satisfied, Is a great poem about people completing their dreams and yet still wanting more.  I think that the abstract noun is something like satisfaction.  The poem contains great similes and metaphors such as the toast.  I find the poem to be very true in the fact that people will try and try to get what they want and most of the time once they get it they will just want more.  I don’t think that many people can just live with what they have.

Through the Maze

I have seen so many

Slave away their days-

Working through corruption

Scurrying around the maze

Watch the flashing screens

I know just how to blind-

Selling and convincing

Controlling all the minds

My puppets dance the day away

I’m pulling all the strings

Hurry, work and earn

They need their shiny things

Fancy clothes, faster cars

More just more is what they plead

I will make it so

Because i’m all they need

Limericks

Limericks

Jerry

There once was a man named Jerry

He tried to be very scary

He would stomp and roar

But it was quite a bore

So he tried to become more merry

The Old Frog

There once was a lazy old frog

He lived in a big swampy bog

He never would jump

He just sat on his stump

And ate flies when they come to his log

An Old House

There once was a creaky old house

Inside lived a squeaky old mouse

He would sneak out at night

To give the children a fright

And scurried on back like a louse
