ReplyDeletethis poem rocks because the poem is true poetry
ReplyDeleteWhat I think about the poem that it is a bit strange .I think the poet wrote it because he thought it was gonna be a good poem .No i dont like it.Why i dont like it is because it is a short poem

Wow! This is such a fantastic blog! I think that it is so inspiring to hear all of your own thoughts and opinions! I, personally, love this poem for the fact that it is so simple. However, I don't think I fully understand it, perhaps because it is so simple?
ReplyDeleteAnd TONY! I absolutely LOVE your poem! I can tell that it came from the heart, and your enthusiasm towards it is very motivating. I applaud you! Great poem, and I hope that you write more!!! :)
I hope to see more posts and comments. After all...
So much depends on THE READ WHEELBARROW ;)
Dear Ms. K, this is the most beautiful poem I ever read! I think I like this poem, I like the part when it tells me about the wheelbarrow!
ReplyDeleteI like this poem because it is interesting!
ReplyDeleteI like this poem because it's an interesting poem and you can really think about it.
ReplyDeleteThe poem is a great one, because it doesn't rhyme!
ReplyDeleteWe really like the poem. We've read a lot of poems from this author...
ReplyDeleteI like it 50/50. It's really poetic.
ReplyDeleteAt last...! We have been able to read our classroom blog together and I am so happy to read all of your great ideas and comments! You are all amazing! :) Zyrus & Ashvin: You show your practical approach to this poem, and practicality is a good thing, indeed; I am glad that you like it! Rami: I appreciate your honesty. Ilias & Nedim: I have to confess, that I also generally like poems that don't rhyme BETTER than poems that do and that have a predictable form and metre... Andaleeb: Your enthusiasm shines and inspires me! Halla, I appreciate the time you have taken to consider this poem, even if you determine that you do not like it -- ! Radit: I wonder what "true poetry" is? And, Samantha, I also appreciate pleasant backgrounds, formats & artistic layouts (I'm glad you like our blog :) ...actually, I am realizing that these things are very important to me and I guess they were important to William Carlos Williams (such and interesting name!), too. He seems to notice everything and he took a lot of trouble to set up his poem just the way he wanted. I appreciate you sharing your ideas. I know there are many people who are not sure what this poem is about! But it makes me think that poetry is all around us, that poetry can surprise us and that if you look hard enough, maybe you can find a poem anywhere. If I had to write a poem, I wonder what it would be about...? Tony already know what he’d write. Tony: how wonderful and creative of you, to share your poem with us! It is a great poem and It makes me feel good inside...Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts and ideas! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteI like it a little, because of the wheelbarrow and the chickens.
ReplyDeleteI dont understand this poem but I like the chicken part it was funny.The rest was not funny. I think it should be longer.I think it would need more work on this poem.I wonder why it is call the red wheel barrow.
