She's a small girl,
she knows just enough about life to be smart
but not enough to know tragedy.
She's a friendly wave hello as you drive by,
She's help from a neighbor,
She's lunch after church on a Sunday.
She's a southern accent,
Talking slow enough to make sure everyone's listening,
subtly making sure all eyes are on her.
She's an understanding nod,
She's a listening ear as you share what's bothering you,
She's sharing a cup of sweet tea over catching up between two friends.
She's beauty, not conventional beauty,
but beauty in it's purest form.
Natural beauty.
In explaining my characterization, I kept it simple because it is representing my hometown, which is a very simple place. I thought about the things I saw as i was growing up and incorporated them here, into a characterization poem. Through this characterization, i personified my hometown and described it as if it were a person, which brings it to life and makes if more interactive.
I love your line breaks and the way you laid it out. It really made me want to keep going. I also like how you related yourself to your town and how they are alike! Overall this is wonderful, good job Sydney!
ReplyDeleteI love how this is simple but straight to the point to tell a story ! This describes you perfectly .Your paragraphs made it easy to follow and more entertaining . GOOD WORK.
ReplyDeleteI love how the line breaks make it almost in to a song. The break also allow for a great movement of flow in the poem. I love the bluntness the poem offers in being so straight forward. great work.
