“Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening”
by Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
APPEAL: This poem is one of my favorites. I love the holiday season, and I enjoy the peace that a snowfall brings. It also reminds me of all the promises I make every day to people, and how they are all counting on me to not let them down.
POETIC DEVICES:
➢ Rhyme - "Know" and "though", "lake" and "shake", and "sweep" and "deep" are all words that rhyme in this poem.
➢ Repetition- "And miles to go before I sleep" is repeated twice to help the reader feel the tiredness of the narrator of the poem, who obviously has much more to do, but stops briefly to enjoy the snowfall.
➢ Imagery- The lines "The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep"
paint a picture of a snow-filled forest, dimly lit by the light of the moon, perhaps, and I can almost picture this scene in my mind thanks to the descriptive imagery.
THEME: We should all take a minute out of our busy lives to "watch the woods fill up with snow" and take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature.

The Team IX Teacher Poem:
Must be either: 1 sonnet
2 tankas or limericks
Or
3 haiku
This (these) poem(s) can be about any teacher, or teachers, that you have ever had, who served to inspire you, or made you think, or that you felt in some way made you a better person. It does not matter if you had this teacher in 8th grade or kindergarten. If they helped you to learn in some way, then honor them with a poem, or poems!
Of course, the very first teachers were your parents, so it would be fine if you were to write about them, specifically.
The Song Lyric Poem:
Music can be poetry, and you are to prove that here.
Think of the lyrics of any song that has ever made an profound impact on you (The Bebe’s “Ooh baby, baby… lyric most certainly does not count here) and write out the lyrics as if it were a poem.
• You must have at least 15 lines of poetry (this does not count chorus being repeated).
• Lyrics must be appropriate (Would you share it with your grandma? I might, so please keep me from embarrassing you. Music lyrics that are poetry should not need profanity to express themselves.)
Original Poem(s):
Depending on your contact, this is either:
➢ Contract # 1 (grade 95-100): 2 original poems (one must be a sonnet)
➢ Contract #2 (grade 85-89): 3 original poems (two must be a haiku, limerick or tanka)
➢ Contract #3 (grade 70-75): 1 original poem (one must be a haiku, limerick or tanka)
➢ These poems should be about something that you feel very strongly about. You cannot write about something well, if you cannot feel it in your heart or head.

Limericks
Limericks - The History
Variants of the form of poetry referred to as Limerick poems can be traced back to the fourteenth century English history. Limericks were used in Nursery Rhymes and other poems for children. But as limericks were short, relatively easy to compose and bawdy in nature, they were often repeated by beggars or the working classes in the British pubs and taverns of the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventh centuries.
Where does the term 'Limerick' come from?
The word derives from the Irish town of Limerick. Apparently a pub song or tavern chorus based on the refrain "Will you come up to Limerick?" where, of course, such bawdy songs or 'Limericks' were sung.
Limericks - The form
Limericks consist of five anapaestic* lines.
Lines 1, 2, and 5 of Limericks have seven to ten syllables and rhyme with one another.
Lines 3 and 4 of Limericks have five to seven syllables and also rhyme with each other.
Line 1 – 8 to 10 syllables, rhyme with lines 2 and 5
Line 2 – 8 to 10 syllables, rhyme with lines 1 and 5
Line 3 – 5 to 7 syllables, rhyme with line 4
Line 4 – 5 to 7 syllables, rhyme with line 3
Line 5 – 8 to 10 syllables, rhyme with lines 1 and 2
A flea and a fly in a flue
Were caught, so what could they do?
Said the fly, "Let us flee."
"Let us fly," said the flea.
So they flew through a flaw in the flue. -Anonymous

Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest,
Nor shall death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Who feels tired on Monday mornings, energetic on Saturdays, and sad at times
Who is an island sometimes, isolated and surrounded by a sea of loneliness,
Who finds happiness in special friends, a sunrise, and going on long vacations
Who needs a hug every now and then, help with homework, and a phone in my room
Who gives the dog a bath every week, and 100% effort in all my studies
Who fears high bridges, snakes, and violence
Who would like to see Paris, Tom Cruise in person, and my parents win the lottery
Who enjoys swimming, spending time in my room alone, and music of all kinds
Who likes to wear jeans and sweatshirts, formal evening gowns, and high-heeled shoes
Resident of Temple Terrace
Blake
example:
I am a young, lively, lady.
I wonder why everyone can't be a friend.
I hear the voices of my classmates around me.
I see children talking and laughing.
I want peace among us all.
I am as hungry as a horse sometimes.
I pretend to be a peacemaker.
I feel happy when everyone smiles.
I touch a friend's hand longingly.
I worry that I'm not good enough.
I cry about injustice.
I am like a feather in the wind; I float from friend to friend.
I understand when someone feels burdened.
I say everything will be all right.
I dream about peace in the world.
I try to do my part.
I hope to bring out the best in everyone around me.
I am the glue that keeps my friendship circle together.
