POETRY PORTFOLIO BY SPENCER OSEGUERA

MONSTER PETROCELLI

• You are a monster You've been guilty from the start
• I will tear you apart Your eyes are deep red inside a dragons head
• The life you see is a movie But what I see is a killer
• Your skin is like a dark horse Waiting to jump the gate
• Well, I will prove you guilty You'll get a million years in prison.

MONSTER POEM PART 2

• All of us may not be perfect Our founding fathers knew
• But I never thought a murder spree like this would come true No matter how young you are.
• If you do the crime You do the time Life is a gift given to all of us
• But you so easily took a life away The money you took was someone's pay
• I wish we weren't here today But people like you make life this way.

WHAT YOU REALLY ARE

• You think you're the best You think you top the rest
• But in reality, you're just like everyone else. All you do is try stand out from the crowd
• But none can hear your sound For that, I will send you straight to the ground.
• Your attitude is like an old man you keep kicking your feet in the sand. Until the crab pinches your hand.
• My goals for you didn't go as planned

WHAT YOU REALLY ARE PART 2

• Wow! You did something good However, you did that like every one should.
• You were my friend Now I have lost you again.
• Life to you is a straight away But that feeling will fade away
• You are not here to stay You are gone from my life today.

THE LESSON OF THE FOOTBALL

• 22 padded men on the field One guy is squatting down
• Another man takes the snap The man receives the ball He runs right.
• The player swifts through the team He ducks like a turtle The man crawls between the ref
• He then floats in the air Gliding like a shifty bird He dunks the goal post His team won!
• Woo! Goes the throw The teammates carry him off He's on top of the world!

FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE EXAMPLES MONSTER POEM

• Your eyes are deep red inside a dragons Inside a dragons head Metaphor compares red eyes and a dragons head
• Your skin is like a dark horse waiting to jump the gate is a simile because it compares the horse and the jump ( referring to being released out of prison) and uses like as a comparison.
• You'll get a million years in prison is a hyperbole because it is an extreme exaggeration and a lifetime is not a million years.

FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE EXAMPLES WHAT YOU REALLY ARE

• In the poem, a small group of words all end with the ay suffix. This is called assonance when ending sounds are the same or sound the same.
• Many word repeat at the end of the poem like away, today and others. These words represent repetition because the words constantly rhyme.
• Your attitude is like an old man kicking in the sand is a simile because it compares the man and his attitude.

FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE EXAMPLES LESSON OF THE FOOTBALL

• 22 padded men on the field is a synecdoche because it refers to the football players by saying padded men.
• Woo! This phrase is an example of onomatopoeia. This loud shouting phrase represents a shift in tone in the story.
