Ms. Nakada's NaPoWriMo Blog: Day 12

Our poem for Day 12 is 


  • Read through the poem 3-4 times (preferably out loud). 
  • What feeling/tone do you get from the poem? 
  • What is it about? 
  • What poetic elements do you notice happening in this poem? 
  • Annotate and make sense of this poem.
Prompts: Write a poem about what matters in life. What gives life meaning? 


"Write a letter to your childhood best friend."

And finally, from Writer's Digest:


"For today’s prompt, write a control poem. That is, write about having control, losing control, or sharing control with others. Of course, I expect at least one person to mention the control key on keyboards. And well, y’all always surprise me, because I can’t control which direction everyone is going to go with this prompt.

Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt."

See you all tomorrow. Enjoy your last day of Spring Break!

Sabrina's First blog Agenda Blog corrections reader's worshop Essay Basics writer's workshop Homework: RJ 5.4 Read for 20-30 minutes and record *Get parent signature! Oh gosh, ok here we go. So, I type really slowly, like really slowly, and I am so used to typing on my phone, that I might write my you's as an actual u, or my why's like an actual y. Therefore, we might not get points, because there is gonna be a lot of corrections in here :). Gino, thanks for picking me. You're such a great brother! *Sabrina rolling her eyes*. Also, this is kinda akward for me, because I literally have no emoji's, and I use those after every single sentence I type. I'm suprised no one is annoyed by it... if you are, that sounds like a personal problem ;). Alright, enough about me, so right now we are reading, and I really wish I was too, because my book is lowkey good not even gonna lie.
