What is Poetry?

I don’t really know how to describe poetry. Sometimes poetry has rhymes in them, others don’t. Poems have different patterns, repetition, or have “sound” implied into them. There’s different types of poetry, like haikus, shape poems, or acrostic poems. There are also just free verse poems.

50+ blog posts .3.

   After doing 50+ blogposts I feel like I actually committed myself to something, I usually give up on “daily” or even weekly I give up. I really don’t have much to say, as I don’t think blogs are that important in my opinion. Sharing things with people isn’t really something I do, so blogging is more of a new experience for me even though I’ve done it for a few months.

Greek Day

 This is a few weeks late, but still. Basically on April 27th on a Thursday, it was Greek Day. We all had our teams, I was in Sparta. First we did the sort of shop. I had brought a helmet. I ended up giving it to my friend Alyssa since I could always just make another helmet either way. After that we went to the Emerson Park and did our Olympic Games, I participated in the dash part. Once we finished with that we went inside and ate then finished watching Hercules.

Two Poems :D

Tom Holland: Tom is the bomb. Tom has a mom. Tom has a Spider-Man suit. Tom Holland what a beaut. Paisans Pizza I will perfectly nitpick and precisely part a pepperoni pizza from Paisan’s. Pterodactyl!

Favorite Song I Guess

  At the moment one of my favorite songs is “Put Your Head On My Shoulder” by Paul Anka. One of the lyrics are “People say love is a game. A game you just can’t win.” The way I take those lyrics makes sense. A lot of people say that love sucks, because, well it does! Sometimes anyway. Like for instance when you love someone but they don’t love you back, or you get into a fight with someone you love. Like a family member, friend, or even significant other. The “game” of love can never be won, love isn’t fair. Life isn’t fair in general. Love can make you lose friends, or gain them, it’s sorta ridiculous.

Favorite Poem/Poet

  I don’t exactly have a favorite poem or favorite poet, as I am not much of a person to like poems. But I did read a poem earlier called ‘The Voice’. I am assuming this poem talks about how there is a voice in your head the tells you what is right and what is wrong. Even though it is pretty much you talking to yourself, but mentally, sometimes it feels like it takes over and controls your life.

Chicago World’s Fair

   Who? Daniel Burnham was an architect and an urban designer. He was the Director of Works for the Chicago World’s Fairy/World’s Columbian Exposition. The landscape architect was name Fredrick Law Olmsted.    What? The fair is held to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival at America. There was a pool in the middle of the fair to represent his long trip. Chicago had bested Washington D.C., New York City, and St. Louis for the honor of hosting the fair. This fair was also the first for amusements, it had a Ferris wheel that was built by George Ferris.    When? The fair was opened on May 1st, 1893 and ended on October 30th, 1893. Which means it lasted a duration of 6 months and 29 days. Where? The World’s Columbian Exposition, was of course held in Chicago, Illinois. Why? It was made to celebrate Christopher Columbus’ 400th anniversary of arriving at America. The fair was also a prototype of what the Director of Works (Daniel Burnham) thought
