How is this poem...I made it myself. We had to make a poem for homework, tell me honest opinion. The poem is called "Estrella is..." "Estrella is my little star
Shining bright
When I think of Estrella
I'm flushed with happiness
From head to toe
Estrella is the reason
Why I still walk this Earth
For if there was no Estrella
I would have been long gone
No longer connected to this world
Though we've never met face to face TwT
Is it wrong to wish for something more
Don't get me wrong; I love where we're at now
But I long for something more... because
Estrella is...
Smart, beautiful...
Kind, caring...best of all Estrella is
True to Estrella's self; which makes me like Estrella even more
My little star... Estrella
Oh, how I wish could meet you...
In person
To comfort you...
To hug you...
To beat up whoever hurts you...
But all I can do is...
Talk to you from a distance
But never fear
I will always be here; because
Estrella is...
My little star
And don't you forget it TwT"

3/5

Explanation:

I feel like this may be harsh but the poem doesnt have many rhetoric devices to capture a reader. Instead of smart, beautiful, kind, caring, I would suggest using imagery of Estrella that makes her that way. What makes her this way? Was she a animal lover, helped anyone in need, cook food for you? I would shorten the amount of adjectived to 3 becasue of the rule of three. I liked the repetition of "you" at the end of the poem. All in all, this is cute poem thou :)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
