Mo Goya Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I wrote this poem a while ago. Its not very good, it is not good at all actually, but my friends told me its really good. Do they have good taste in poems? What do you guys think? Santa and the Kid War ‘Twas the shopping before Christmas And everyone was rushing, All the children went to see Santa He was sitting there blushing. “Well, little children what do you desire?” “An action figure, or perhaps a ball?” “Yes!” they all screamed with greed All of a sudden they came rushing down the hall. The children jumped on Santa pulling on his beard. They yanked him side to side, hitting him with a toy bat. They pulled off his shoes And stole his hat! Santa, that old man To their surprise Was not so gleeful after all For he was an alien in disguise. He pulled out a candy cane And started whacking it at them. Then he ran faster than anyone could He hid and pulled out a gem. He tapped it once and vanished Santa was forever gone All the children went home to their tear-filled beds Until at dawn … Santa appeared with an army of elves. The children came with their dolls. And fighting broke out With swords and cannonballs. Santa won and Christmas continued forever, This day became known as the Santa and Kid War. No kid can ever speak of it again But with all their toys galore… WHO CARES?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicardoLuigi... Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 geez, what is that? an epic poem? it's long, but good. actually it's not that long, but longer than one i would read. here's a free verse one i did for seventh grade: let's see, how'd it go...oh yeah. ol' deaf dan was as blind as a snake, was a wolf when he sat down for dinner, he constantly cried for chili con carne, but the food always got up and said, "run, run, as fast as you can, you can't catch me, i'm the chili con carne man!" i know. it's amazing. now everybody snap your fingers like in one of those kaffeeklatsch things. *snap* *snap* *snap* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huz Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 That poem has more plot holes than an episode of 24, Das Mole. Why does the chili con carne bother to speak to him when he can't hear it? Also, snakes aren't blind. Also also, chili con carne doesn't talk. That's common sense. Also also also, is the second line a metaphor, or was Deaf Dan really a wolf, but only when he sat down for dinner? If so, awesome! If not, that sucks. He should totally be a wolf - but that makes him a talking wolf, unless he cries for chili con carne in the same way as a dog would. Oh man. I deem this poem too confusing for public consumption. CONDEMNED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CONDEMNED! yeah. the only reason it's confusing is because we had to do a poem packet, and throughout the poems, we had to include a simile, a metaphor, an alliteration, and some other technique. oh yeah, personification. it's very creative isn't it.
