Summer

When I first saw this poem I thought that it was really short. But even if it is short it has many things in it. At first I did not know what I was going to do with this poem. In the essay I will be tell you about this poem. This very short poem is a haiku. Haiku is a Japanese verse form and it just has three lines that do not rhyme and has five, seven, and five syllables. This poem has personfacation because it says that the sun says hi and the sun can not talk.The imagery that i saw when i read this poem is of a person who does not like the color of their skin and does not want to get darker.The sound I am not really that sure about.But I think it may be funny.I think that it is southern because most of the time it is sunny down here and people get drak and some people do not really like it. Well I think who ever wrote this poem got the meaning of haiku mixed up because the syallables in each line are not right. It is suppoed to be 5,7,5 and in this poem it is 5,5,7. I really do like this poem to me it is funny. But I do not relate to it because I do want to get draker. Because I think that I am too white.-C.S

It can't be called a haiku though because it has 18 syllables. But I like it it though because I can relate and I thought it was cool and funny. :D -PH
