Collection of my own poems

When I was a junior in High School the English class that I took we were required to write a book of poems. The two poems that I write myself and really like how they turned out, the first one was what my teacher called “the city poem” which I wrote about my home town of Mattawan. The other poem that I really liked that I wrote and I liked how it turned was one called Scars. Another one that I found in a poem book that I remember from my childhood was from the book “Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices the poem was called Fireflies. Because I liked all three of these poems from my own collection I decided to go out onto the internet and see if I can find any other poems that maybe written on the same topic or written in the same style and to my surprise I was able to find three poems that fit under one of these two category. One was called Snow Day that was written like my Mattawan poem, another poem about scars and finally one called Grasshoppers which was written in two verses and written by the same author as the Fireflies poem that I had found in my own book back in High School. I think I would have to say that of all six of the poems that I read I would have to say that I really like the two poems that I personally wrote from my own experiences and surroundings. I liked these to poems to such that I want to share them with everyone next class period and my hope is you will get as much out of the poem as I did when I was writing the poem.
