The prompt for this poem is: create a poem that resonates with you.

Prompt

It is your turn to write about how something or someone makes you feel strong emotions. Your emotions could be positive or negative.

Reflection

When writing this poem, one challenge I faced while writing this was that I had to be expressive with it because it captures how many feelings I have for my brother.

Reflection

I wrote this poem--called "Ocean"--because it reminded me of when me and my family used to go on vacations to the beach. It brought me back to those times when I was little.

As you can see, I spelled out the word "ocean" along the side of my poem while expressing the meaning of the word. For every letter, I wrote the definition in my opinion.

Prompt

Therefore, I have a challenge for you. This week, I want you to write a poem that means something to you. Maybe it's about you, your family, or your culture. There can be a lot of things that might mean something to you.
