MGRP: Original Poem

Directions: Ponder a single idea related to your topic. The purpose of your poem is to praise
your subject, so the specific topic as well as the tone should reflect your admiration. You may
want to consider creating a poem that expresses the gift behind your subjects talent.
(Examples: A poem about B. B. Kings guitar; a poem about Ronald Reagans ranch; a poem
about Judy Garlands voice.)

Your poem must be no less than 16 lines and no more than 20. In addition, your poem
must include a minimum of five poetic devices (alliteration, rhyme, couplet, rhythm,
enjambment, hyperbole, understatement, imagery, synesthesia, personification, simile,
metaphor, onomatopoeia, symbolism, or synecdoche).

Identification and explanation of each device must follow your poem.

Jimi Jimi Jimi Hendrix

Your guitar makes the world go round

Everybody loves to hear your sound
Your skills shine in the night
Love and peace you don't like to fight

You fought for everything you love to do

Making history for black culture that's pretty cool
Black people didn't want you to be with the white crew
But You still managed to win them over with a powerful tool

Woodstock was an amazing sight to see

All races came together nobody wanted to flee
Crowd screaming loud give a round of applause
Everything was going great there was no flaws

Death took over

Taking drugs you wasn't sober
Short life i'm sorry you wasn't lucky like a four leaf clover
But your legacy lives on
We hate that you are gone
