  1. Personal Poetry Anthology Sample by Ms. Graybill

  2. Identityby Julio Noboa Polanco Let them be as flowers,always watered, fed, guarded, admired,but harnessed to a pot of dirt.I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed,clinging on cliffs, like an eaglewind-wavering above high, jagged rocks.To have broken through the surface of stone,to live, to feel exposed to the madnessof the vast, eternal sky.To be swayed by the breezes of an ancient sea,carrying my soul, my seed,beyond the mountains of time or into the abyss of the bizarre.I'd rather be unseen, and ifthen shunned by everyone,than to be a pleasant-smelling flower,growing in clusters in the fertile valley,where they're praised, handled, and pluckedby greedy, human hands.I'd rather smell of musty, green stenchthan of sweet, fragrant lilac.If I could stand alone, strong and free,I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed.

  3. Identity “If I could stand alone, strong and free, I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed.” • This line represents my reluctance to match others to fit in. I really like this sentiment and think it suits me well. • A good example of a simile is “Let them be as flowers” because it compares two things that are not alike using “like” or “as.”
