October
October skies are red and gold,
When leaves turn their colors bold.
The air gets as cool as ice,
Making the wind slap your face so nice.
Coat closets open up again,
As warmer jackets become our friend.
Sweaters are like sandpaper to the skin,
But keep all of our body heat in.
Boo! Black cats and flying bats
Are scaring children out of their hats.
Jack-o-lanterns flicker like the stars way up high.
Front doors open like treasure chests when the kids come by.
Soon the bright leaves will fall
To winter's majestic howling call.
The town will be covered with snow.
Oh how I wish that October would not go!
-Two aspects of the poem that I really enjoyed were the imagery and the good use of rhymes.
ReplyDelete-A suggestion for improvement would be more lines in a stanza.
1.)The rhyme scheme of the poem is AABB.
2.)The poets tone is mostly optimistic.
3.)Three interesting uses of diction would be the description of october skies, leaves' colors changing, and the air changing.
4.)One example of imagery would be found on line 1, "October skies are red and gold."
5.)An example of alliteration is found on line 7. It says, "sweaters are like sandpaper."
6.)Internal rhyme was used on line 9, and cats and bats were the rhyming words.
7.)Personification was used on line 6, which explains how "jackets become our friend."
8.)An onomatopoeia is used in line 9, which is the word "boo."
