What is poetry? When I was asked this question by a teacher, I thought many things about it. At first, I thought about style of poetry. I think it is one way that it show feeling to use short sentences. It has no rules like paragraphs. It is shorter than paragraphs, but it has many meaning inside of it. It is short so people can read it easier than other writings.

And then, I thought about feelings. Poetry can have many emotions in short sentences. It makes showing the emotions very strong, so people can understand the author's feelings or thinking. I think this is one of fascination of poetry, and I love it.

When I was thinking about poetry, I remembered about Japanese poetry. In Japan, a long time ago (about the 9th century), nobles' men and women used poetry very often. They used poetry especially when they wrote love letters. They explained their emotion only in poetry. I think it is very romantic.

Poetry is one of many ways that we have to write our feelings in a paper. For me, poetry is how you can explain your feelings or your thoughts on a piece of paper, writing many things about something that you like or you do not like. It does not matter. Poetry is different from other writing forms because it does not have a specific pattern to write it. It can be shorter or longer; it depends on how many ideas you want to show to the reader. Poetry is many ideas about somebody, feelings, or a place you like or do not like. Poetry has many forms to write it. For example, you can write about a sad or happy feeling or moment in your life. Sometimes poetry is confusing to me, but the important thing is I enjoy reading poetry and sharing with my family special poems that I have read in my life.

I am Free   Once I was a prisoner Lost inside myself With the world surrounding me Wandering through the misery But now I am free   You gave me a breath of life Unclouded my eyes With sweet serenity Lighting a ray of hope for me And now I am free   Free to live Free to laugh Free to soar Free to shine Free to give Free to love Free enough to fly   Once I was all so alone Unsteady and cold But your love rained down upon me Washing away uncertainty   But now I am free

Poetry is singing a song on the paper I think. And they use some different words from other normal writing. For example, using all sentences along some season, or animals or word, rock, blow think something, so the singers are them. Sometimes I saw like that style. Poetry’s sentences are more stronger than the other kind of writing. Because I think they have only short sentences, but each one word has many meanings and that is sometimes we are thought by that. Poetry has the story important and simple style.

The Sun   I'm the sun. I'm always watching the earth from here, if it's rain, snow, sunny in the earth.   Almost human beings always enjoy their life. But other's does not. They are always fighting in their country. I hate watching that sight from here.   Why people fight each other. People who are living in the earth are company! They should be more and more peaceful. It's important for every human being.   But I, the sun, always, all time, wait and see all human beings and their space ship, the earth. Until I burn out!!   Many Kinds of Hairstyles   There are many persons on the wall in many lines clearly. And they have many kind of hairstyle. But only two types. Their bodies are all thin. One person's group has all balding. And one person's group has all spike what has three or four thick spikes hair. Their job is carrying the meals. Their names are fork and spoon.		I Am   I am the only one human who have strong dream. I wonder why many persons quarrel each other. I hear someone's crying in the world. I see some country fight inside own country as the civil war. I want to change human's mind to peaceful. I am the only one human who have strong dream.   I pretend I'm the student. I feel I should be more independent. I touch my very close future in my life. I worry that can I be alone without my parents about my own life. I cry when I have difficulty and I have to do by myself at that time. I am the only one human who have strong dream.   I understand the Japanese educational system lost the important things. I say everyone has his or her own opinion and good morality. I dream that everyone change their minds as that they have good direction. I try to change their minds. I hope they are always peaceful. I am the only one human who have strong dream.
Snowboard   It's my important hobby. When I go snowboarding, I can see many nature and good landscape from the top of the mountain.   In the mountain has super fresh air. I like jumping in the air by the snowboard. And making some tricks in the air by the snow table.   I think snowboard's tricks in the air are my picture like drawing picture. So I think snowboard my art and the place where I can express myself. Snowboard, it's important hobby for me		Future Child   Future child, open your eyes. Breath deeply. Put your foot on the ground, gently. And think deeply, and quietly about you should do things. Don't loose your own direction. Your direction has to be right, always. But sometimes you will be wrong. Because it's human. If you make some mistakes, don't consider about it. Living in this world is difficult, and pain. But fighting, if you don't know something, ask us everything. Always we help and support you. And we endeavor to be better the world than now.
My Best Friend   I dear my best friend, Sohei. I can talk happily thing, sadness thing, cruel thing, worrying thing, and everything to Sohei. Sohei and I are same age. And he is my classmate in the Japanese university. He was the rugby teammate, too, when we were high school student.   So I believe him as my best friend. I can always consult something, help for my best friend. And my best friend does that for me.   The best friend is very interesting. We grow up each other when we talk or active together. And we always have aspiration.   Finally, when I have difficulty or probably, he helps me. When he has difficulty or probably, I help him possibility! It's like "One for all, all for one" mind. I think the best friend is like that!!		To Me From I   Me, recently you're a little tired. Why? You always look sleepy at the class. Don't stay up late at night. Everyday you should do some training. What's up? You should hang in there more!! Be cheerful!! Don't think about trifling things! Right? Let's go!!   Somebody's Crying   I can hear somebody's crying. But it has no sound. There are many people who are crying. I feel the sound is crying as distressing. It's very serious sound, I think. They are very important for us. If they all die, exactly we die. Always they offer the fresh air to us. We should live with them in harmony. We should think about them more and more! Treat them importantly! Do you understand what is "they"? It's nature! Let's start to defend the nature!

Poetry is writing about love, life, nature, and animals. Sometimes people tell their feelings by poetry. This kind of writing is to tell about feelings to make people happy or sometimes amused. So emotion is a large part of poetry. I remember when Mrs Buck asked "what is poetry”? I said " I don’t know”, but I think it’s about telling something you feel. People who like to write poetry are very creative, and smart. They like to tell about their thoughts, and make others happy. I never have written poetry because for me it’s easier to talk to tell my feeling then write down on a piece of paper. I’m going to learn how I can write poetry in English. I think it’s not easy but I would like to learn. However, I need to take time to write my feelings. I know my teacher is going to help me, because I know she likes to write poetry. I hope I can write my own poetry, and tell my best friend about my poetry.

Because It's the Time   Because the time is short Because today I need to be hurrying Because it’s now I can stay with you Because you are part of my life Because it’s my love for you Because you are my best friend Because it’s time to be happy together.
Name   My soul Answers Rejoice on the blessing of life The life has Hope for us today, tomorrow And forever.   Try to get up Our life can be happy Remember Remember Each person has trials, in the life Scriptures we have to feel peace, and hope for our souls.		Past Present Future   So maybe it’s late you don’t like what happened The past it dead, and will never change. Why let it torment your day? You alone determine your worth No one is prying into you. The time will tell What is now you. There is not room for future flight In souls who fight the past Take time the past is behind you, and you will find forgiveness for soon.
Love   Never is the heart so happy as when it palpitates for others You can’t give without love, but you can love with giving The love sees into a telescope, not into a microscope.   Love   It smells like all kinds of flowers It tastes like honey It sounds like classical music It feels like a soft bear It looks like a red heart Love is love for everywhere.		He is the One I Love   When I though of him, I felt peace When I preyed for him, I felt peace When he called me, made my day happy When he visited me, is the best time I had When I breathe I breathe for him   Life   Life is time, our life our time It’s present all the time, but really every stay in the past
