Once upon a time there’s a young girl named Lanae. She’s a regular teenage girl but, she has one difference from anyone else her color is yellowish-green. When her mother gave birth to her, her skin tone’s green. Green representing she’s mature and don’t know any better. When Lanae suppose to become mature and grow up, her color changes to yellow. Instead of changing to yellow, Lanae becomes both colors combined. She realizes that she’s stuck in between growing up and being a child. This relates to me because I’m stuck in between my spring and my summer. Me being still in spring, I can still be selfish about things. I don’t like to share my food, my things or anything else that is mine. Also I am very playful. But, I can be very serious about important things that matter.
Selfish is caring about only oneself. I’m selfish at times because I do not like to share anything especially when it comes to my favorite foods. When I get my favorite treat, “chocolate” I would start eating it then my little brother Tyler would come along asking “ Can I have some, Chy?” Respond by saying “ No…” Then I would start teasing him about it and get mad running to my mom crying about how I didn’t share with him.
Along with being selfish I can also be playful. Playing around with my brothers, my mom (sometimes…), and my friends, is what I love to do most of the time. Sometimes I will start messing wit my little brother, I would be all in his face saying, “ Guess what, guess what, guess what?” over and over again until he pops.
He will ever hit me or push me until I leave him alone.
Why I can say I am almost near the summer of my life is because I can be serious. I went to Ohio to visit my uncle. He let me have a tour of Ohio State University and take a college course to get ahead. I was at the front building, shivering because of how nervous I am. When all of a sudden I hear a voice says, “ Chyann, are you just going to stand there?” It was my uncle who was trying to help me find the classroom I would be in.
Relating how I am between spring & summer, I have my reasons; it’s selfish, playful and focused on my future what most young teenage kids are like. Selfishness and playfulness is a part of being a kid. But, seriously I am focused on my future of becoming a lawyer. The dream can come true if you want it to.

Death
Death is an effect that happens everyone. It can be full of pain and heartache.
But if you see the blood of your loved one cover your hands you might think what have I done?
Was it your fault or theirs? Death can be good in the end when you realize the pain has gone
away. You might wonder what does death have to do in what I make? I make people think of
death in a positive view and make them rethink of causing death to their selves or anyone else.

English 2: Poetry Essay
Do poets express themselves in bad ways or good? Poets are artists that show their feelings and through words. A poem that is well known that might give young poets inspiration to write. “For Poets” by Al Young, tells how poets feel, think and write. Reasons why I like this poem is because it talks about nature, it speaks about structure and it makes you feel like u have a personal connection. Nature in the poem uses plants, trees and animals. The structure shows how a poet should be like. My favorite reason why I like this poem is I feel like I had a personal connection since I write poetry.
One reason why I like this poem, the poem expresses nature. Al Young uses things trees, birds and other things to relate to human beings. He says, “Don’t turn into a mole or a worm or a root or a stone”. I believed that this means to relate things of nature to poets who have great talent, and not to hide from the world. Young also wrote, “commune with the snakes and be the very hero or birds”. To show people not to be afraid to show your talent.
Second reason why I liked this poem talks about structure. The author expresses structure because he wants poets to understand how to write like a poet, how to feel like a poet and think like a poet. I quote from the poem, “ Don’t forget to fly,” he means don’t forget to let your voice and talent run free.
Last but certainly not least, the best reason why I liked this poem is because of the personal connection I felt when I reading it. But, personal connections can be very deep feelings about important things but deep in a way. Young says, “ Don’t forget to fly.” Understanding and reading this poem made me feel like I shouldn’t be afraid to show my talent to people, I should be able to express myself in any way I feel comfortable.
Well ending my opinion or my thought, I believe “For Poets” by Al Young is a great poem to help you get the courage and inspiration to write your own poetry. Can’t figure out if you’re a poet, then read this one it might give you a clue.
