my first poem.

[shuggy]

so it's poetry week in creative writing 340. here is my first poem.

a prize to anyone who can tell me what i'm describing! (ok, not really, but can you figure it out?)


Color so vibrant, yet not.
From a blush, to a flame.
Layers of velvety softness,
After harsh prickles along a stick.
Smell so strong and sweet.

[maxiesmom]

I didn't figure it out, have to think on it. The flame part made me think of a match, but it doesn't have prickly stuff. Is this Haiku? Whatever it is, I like it, good job, Angie.

Now it makes me think of a sparkler. That has prickles on a stick.

[shuggy]

it's not a haiku. i probably has no offical poetry rule to it.

[MidwestStamper]

I think that you're describing a ROSE! A lovely poem indeed!

[ctinyjoy]

I agree with Lidia....It is a Rose. Great job on the poem Angie!

[logcabincreations]

very nice :)

[loobylou]

Great Job Angie, I think it is a rose too.

[milmogando]

me too! i think rose...

[Patty]

I thought it was the Fall leaves after they have changed. What do I know?!?!

[jazzypurple853]

I too think it's a rose.

[iloveflipflops]

I think its a rose because everyone else does too. HEE HEE

[Sweetpea]

I think it is a rose--that is a very nice poem. Didn't know you had it in you!

[tojoco]

Well okay it sounds like a rose to me too. Great poem Angie.

[shuggy]

I thought it was the Fall leaves after they have changed. What do I know?!?!

no, but that works too!! isn't a poem what the reader interprets it to be?

[shuggy]

I think it is a rose--that is a very nice poem. Didn't know you had it in you!

uh, i really don't! :goofy:

[cindi]

it's very nice..but I must admit..I thought is was a match with case of the pricklys, lol
I'm clueless
:)

[stampinmom3]

First I thought it was leaves also, but I think it is a rose too.

[shadoob]

no, but that works too!! isn't a poem what the reader interprets it to be?
I thought of leaves too...but, I do like your answer the best....of course teachers don't always grade that way...

[Patty]

I love creative writing...but when it comes to poetry, if it doesn't rhyme, I'm lost. You did a great job, Angie....good for you. I'd give you an A+

[shuggy]

ugh, i hate creative writing!! it is a red rose.

[inkinupstamps]

A rose ... "by any other name would smell as sweet."

Well done! I like your description very much.

[ccstampin12]

Great job, Angie!
I hadn't gotten my thoughts together before I read everyone else's guesses, so I'm sure I would have copied them and said 'a rose' too!
Cheater, cheater!
Hope you get an A+
Joanie
