I read a poem by a special friend of mine. It is a student poem by Katie DeLoach. This poem is untilted. When i asked Katie why it didn't have a title, she simply said, " I thought they were just fine without one!" It is also very small and it is in the form of 3 haikus, so it was hard to name it. It is sort of hard to analyze as well.

This poem is in the form of 3 haikus. Each haiku is free verse and is one stanza a piece. There is no rhyme scheme in any of the 3 haikus. There isn't any alliteration in the haikus either.There isn't any figurative language; I wish there were though, because i like similes and metaphors. There is some personification in the third haiku. She wrote " //Their hearts soar with the blue bird.//" Hearts can't soar if they're inside of you. There is good amount of imagery in this poem as well. In the first haiku, she writes "The ground shakes roughly." I can see myslelf feeling, and hearing the ground shaking roughly. She writes "Their footsteps come quickly." I can hear, see, and fell footsteps come quickly. Through out the poem I imagine myself with alot of the words she writes. I can see rain come softly, I can see and hear children sliding in the mud. I can see adults frowning hard. I think the meaning of these three haikus was joy. The joy of childrens' lives. The silly things they do and what happens when they get caught.

I really enjoyed analyzing this poem. It was tuff, but I got through it. I really like the meaning of the poem. Haikus are awesome.
