poetry friday rocks

Poetry Friday was one of my favorite things we did this year. I like it because it challenged my creativity. And not only that but we did some pretty cool things with poems like our Speak video and the song we made for Romeo and Juliet. It taught me that poetry isn't as bad as I thought it was and is fun. And that is why I think poetry Friday rocks.

Ann Turner poem

"I am the pig" by Ann Turner

I am the pig
And you are the wolf
waiting at the door
to gobble me up
and chew on my bones,
then spit me out
and nobody is big enough
or fast enough
or sees enough
to keep it from
happening.

This poem relates to the book Speak because in the book Melinda Sordino was raped and nobody knew it happened and now the guy tortures her at school and nobody knows why see is the way she is.
