ReplyDeleteI agree with bobby I also think it was a finger skater.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you (David, And Gaby) Think it was about a girl growing up? Instead of a girl turning into a figure skater?
ReplyDeleteI agree with bobby because the whole poem was really about a figure skater, "spinning on the ice", as said in the text
ReplyDeleteI agree with bobby and alex because the poem is talking about a girl figure skating and doings a trick as spinning on the ice and growing into it.

ReplyDeleteIn the poem; Haikus from the 1988 Winter Olympics
ReplyDeleteI believe the author is referring to a girl who figure skates that is growing up into a women because it says "Little by little, A girl becomes a flower, Spinning on the ice!" which is a metaphor describing a girl turning into a women :))

Abdullah mentioned that his favorite poem in his book is his ode. After reading everyone's books, I have found that my favorites in almost everyone's books are their odes. The odes seem very genuine and caring. It is wonderful to read all of your poems about the friends and family members who are important in your lives (and hamburgers and food and other subjects, too!)

ReplyDeleteI was talking to my friend on that computer. She told me to go to her home. I said, "Sorry friend; I cannot come to your home". She asked me "Why?". I say because I have to do my homework. She said "O.K., friend, I want to come to your home and I want to help you do your homework". I say "O.K., friend". Than she call me to talk on phone and she tells me "Friend do you want to go to thelibaray. She say somebody help you do your homework. I say no. She says why you tell me always no. I tell her just come to my house. She says O.K., and I say O.K., and than she I love you friend, and I say love you too... bye bye..
ReplyDeleteA teenage girl's first crush is . . . well, crushing.
ReplyDeleteHer body isn't hers, nor is her mind.
She finds herself shivering, shaking, blushing,
Weak, tormented, sick, and going blind.
And why? Because some guy might look her way,
Then cast his eyes as quickly to the ground;
Some special one, for reasons she can't say,
Whose voice makes her feel faint when he's around.
But now my crush on you has been returned,
And so the two of us stand on some brink:
It can't be love so young, and yet we've learned
Love does its will, no matter what we think.
Slowly, slowly now--we mustn't rush:
Let's enjoy this first sweet teenage crush
I have one frined. I talk to my frined on the computer sometimes. I talk to that frined on the phone. She is so nice. I love my friend so much. She is like my second sister. I have one brother and one sister. I love my mom so much because I talk to my mom about everything. I love my whole family!
ReplyDeletethats some body whos been kind to me
ReplyDeleteI LOVES EDWARDS POETRY BOOK...THEY ALL TALK ABOUT DEATH..ESPECIALLY HIS ACROSTIC POEM..
ReplyDeletehey gaby i saw what happen to yadira we all try to help her but it was to late..:(
ReplyDelete(Ahmed says)lol lol lol lol lol lol lol.............i'm bored, so here are the lyrics for the final countdown.......
ReplyDeleteWe're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
Ohh
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all, yea
With so many light years to go and things to be found
(To be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(The final countdown)
Ohh ho ohh
The final countdown, oh ho
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(The final countdown)
Ohh
It's the final countdown
We're leaving together
The final countdown
We'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown
(The final countdown)
Ohh, it's the final countdown
Yea
(ahmed says) NOW, here are the lyrics for the eye of the tiger...
ReplyDeleteRisin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds, still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
