My Poem Reflection
By Gavin
The poem I choose was Birthday Parties. I wrote it on a airplane to Israel. My mom gave me the idea. I wrote a sad poem and my mom told me that she wanted a happy poem. I asked her what happy topic should I do. She said birthday parties. The first thing I think about when I hear the word birthday parties is having fun. That’s where I got the line birthday parties are the best not just when they are yours, and even when it pours. When I think of birthday parties it’s a time for kids to be free no rules like in schools. That’s why I wrote you can do whatever you want you can get a croissant. I also think of hanging out with friends and doing activities. That’s where I got you invite all your friends to have a ball you can can go to the mall. I also wrote sports video games hanging out with with friends when you’re older you can get new contact lens. I wrote contact lens because I wanted something that rhymes with friends. It’s not a birthday if the birthday kid does not get presents. That’s why I wrote when you are a kid you can get gift cards, video games but be careful some stuff can be a little lame. Some little kids get clowns or princesses pirates. That’s why I wrote you can get a pirate to say ahoy mates, you can get a clown with a crown. I revised it over time from there.
Birthday Parties
By Gavin
Birthday parties are the best
not just when they’re yours,
and even when it pours.
You invite all your friends to have a ball,
some people go to the mall.
You can do whatever you want
you can get a croissant.
Sports, video games, laser tag,
eating out with friends,
when you are older you can get new contact lens.
When you are a kid
you can get gift cards, video games
but be careful
some stuff can be a little lames.
You can get a pirate to say ahoy mates,
you can get a clown with a crown.
You can get people that work at places
to make your party aces.
A cake carvel can bake.
Party favors for candy lovers,
but don’t tell your mothers.
You eat pizza and punch for lunch.
You only get it once a year
so make this one to remember
because then you got to wait to next September.
No matter what
best of all
you are always going to have a ball!
