HOW TO DRIVE

Knowing how to drive is essential
You always want to be safe
Before you get in your vehicle check your tire pressure
You wouldn’t want to have a blow out

Adjust your mirrors to see what’s behind you
Start the vehicle and put it into drive
Look both left and right to check for traffic
Pull out when the road has a break in traffic, or is clear

Always check the speed limit on the road
You are generally allowed 5mph faster than the posted speed
When you take a corner let off the gas and coast
Avoid making quick stops to avoid any accidents

In case of seeing an Asian
Turn around and drive as fast as you can
So you are not killed.

HOW TO BECOME FAT
First off, you need to live in America
The atmosphere will inspire you
Eat a lot of fast food like you see in commercials
Watch TV for some ideas

Lucky for you McDonalds has a breakfast menu
So you can have McDonalds for breakfast lunch and dinner
Make sure u drive there to avoid burring calories
Read the prior poem to drive safe.

After buying everything on the dolor menu
Go home and watch your favorite TV show
To ensure you become morbidly obese
Repeat weekly for 6 months.

acrostic poems

Pepperonis make the saucer dazzle
Italian roots is where it dates to
“Zoom”, it can be as aerodynamic as a Frisbee
Zesty sauce makes it mouthwatering
Always going to be cheesy and soothing to the stomach


Great and magnificent inn height
Running is his passion
Interactive with new situations and people
Funny person to be around
Finally after an agenizing wait I can drive
Incredibly hunky (ha-ha)
Nicotine is something I will never touch

Free Verse is a form of Poetry composed of either rhymed or unrhymed lines that have no set fixed metrical pattern. The early 20th-century poets were the first to write what they called "free verse" which allowed them to break from the formula and rigidity of traditional poetry. The poetry of Walt Whitman provides many illustrations of Free Verse including his poem "Song of Myself".
T.S. Eliot, Walt Whitman

English (or Shakespearean) sonnets are lyric poems that are 14 lines long falling into three coordinate quatrains and a concluding couplet. Italian (or Petrarchan) sonnets are divided into two quatrains and a six-line sestet.

RUN
I run I run, I even do it for fun
Running is not a sport, but a way of life
Running is what I enjoy to do
Run all day, Run all night
Running is great and a way of life.

My poem

. The Road Not Taken


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;
5

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,
10

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.
15

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
