  1. My favorite is free verse because it is fun just to right about any thing that happens to appear in your mind. And you don't have to rhyme if you don't want to.

  2. My favorite type of poetry is free verse. I like free verse because it can be about anything. Also the other types of poetry are really boring. Free verse has rhyme most of the time which is what I like about it.

  4. I like "free verse" poems because there is no special order, it could be completely off- topic, there is no rules and every free verse poem is different from the rest! Here is what I don't like about poems: they don't include much math or science, but I like the rest.

  7. I liked reading free verse because I just liked reading about other peoples interests and I also just liked how many different topics there were in free verse. My all time favorite was diamante because the shape of it was a diamond. I liked the antonym diamante poem the best because you were comparing one thing to another thing like soccer and football of dogs and cats. The name of the poem I best like is mothers day present about a boy and a mom and a garlic rock( regular rock)

  13. My favorite type of poem is free verse. I like it because it doesn't have to rhyme. I liked the poems we read recently like the "Friend" poem and the poem "A Year". I also like Haiku but free verse is both more fun and easier to write.

  21. I agree with pink ponies #16 because she/he is right when she/he said when you are reading a shape poem about kites usually there would be a drawing of a kite, another example is a swirl. The writers do that just to get the readers attention.

  33. My favorite kind of poem is haiku. I like it because I think it is fun to find words that have to match the syllables, that have to be in the line. There also has to be 5 syllables in the 1st line, 7 syllables in the second line and 5 syllables in the last sentence. Also the poem has to be about nature and nature is fun to write about.

  34. My favorite type of poem is free verse. I like free verse because you don't have to follow a rule,you can write anything you want. So it makes writting poems that much easier. But for some reason there haven't been that many free verse poems that I have liked.

  50. I like diamante the best. I like the structure because it's shaped like a diamond and diamonds are one of my favorite shapes. I also like how some talk about one topic and then in the middle it changes to the opposite topic. Some stay the same topic the whole poem. I don't remember any diamante poems I've read so there aren't any I like.

  54. My favorite type of poem is a diamante poem becuase you can do any topics you like. I like the structure because the shape of the poem is a dimond and a dimond is my 3rd favorite shape. you can compare somthing that is interesting and somthing not interesting like Baseball and golf. Golf is like the boringest thing to play and Baseball is more fun to play. Also i have done a diamonte poem before and diamonte poems are cool.
