Creative thinking poem reflection:
I started writing my poem with picking a picture for my poem. This may seem self-explanatory, but it actually took me awhile to choose. I wanted to write about something that I knew, something that spoke to me. I decided on my picture because it seemed dramatic yet simple. Then I began writing my poem. It was actually hard to get started. Doing a simile was surprisingly easy, however. I am still not completely sure about my personification (the petals reached), but in my mind it seems to work. I found my metaphor came easily to me. I was simply referring to the general idea of one thing standing out. The alliteration was a little harder, I couldn’t think of that many s words at first, (I decided on using s words for the alliteration because that’s where I was at the time). Writing this poem was harder for me than writing poems in my free time, but I just had to reassure myself that I was doing well. I hope I communicated some sort of bigger meaning with my poem. I think I can honestly say I’m happy with the turnout.
