Self Portrait Poem- She the Tree
Tall like a tree
not as skinny as a stick
she stands
Her eyes change color
as if they were mood rings
green to brown to hazel
Her hair changes like the seasons
and contains no true color
almost bronze like a medal
millions of light brown freckles
cover her pale skin
She loves friends
and would be lost without them
laughing crying with friends
enjoys basking
in the Florida sun
Stealthy slithery snakes
alarm her
while delightfuly darling dogs
ease and excite her
an architect is what someday
she wishes to be
since she enjoys design and creativity
many describe her as
responsible...
organized...
friendly...
funny
she wonders if she will ever
get to see Hawaii
and what it may be like...
tropical, enjoyable, amazing?
courtious compliments:
make her day
make her feel optimistic
encourage her to compliment someone too
Block Island
excites her
she becomes relaxed and joyful there
delectable banana boat rides,
cooling strawberry smothies,
sand tickling her toes
adores the rich shade
of relaxing purple
in her room she gets taken away
the bright colors
the personality
pictures of her friends smiling radiantly
Pass, Set, Hit
always ready for volleyball
hair pulled back, hands together
excited
as she awaits the serve
a new found love
that is sure to last
when she becomes happy
she turns cheerful
she becomes quiet
when sad
she is always chatty and charming
when she is excited
when tried
she becomes grouchy
flying in the air
sitting in a car
she enjoys traveling
no matter how far
for that is something many
don't no
Everything here makes
this girl up
she is very distinct
but quite uniform too
she is like a tree,
constantly changing
yet always the same
not as skinny as a stick
she stands
Her eyes change color
as if they were mood rings
green to brown to hazel
Her hair changes like the seasons
and contains no true color
almost bronze like a medal
millions of light brown freckles
cover her pale skin
She loves friends
and would be lost without them
laughing crying with friends
enjoys basking

Poetic Elements:
In my Self Portrait poem one of the poetic elements I used was visual imagery. I used visual imagery to describe how I look. Here's an example of how I used visual imagery, "Her eyes change color,as if they were mood rings" and when I said, " Millions of light brown freckles cover her pale skin." I used visual imagery because in their heads, people could picture what I look like and have a better reference of me throughout the whole poem as to what I look like
For my second poetic element I used alliteration. I used alliteration when I said, " Stealthly slithery snakes" , "Delightful darling dogs", and "curtious complements". I liked using alliteration in this poem because it made the word that I was describing have more meaning, and it also helped the reader enjoy reading my self portrait poem.
