3. Figurative Language Poem - Hyperbole My grandma as old as a the hills She sits on her porch and with on her animal grandchildren's She makes the best pumpkin pie you ever sink your teeth into to Her house may be as hot as the desert But she as cool as a sad man sole She maybe as heavy as a weight But she put a big impact in my heart

4. Biopoem - Who I Am I am the shy girl hiding in the shadows I’ve been betrayed , hurt , laughed at , mistreated , call it what you want But I tend to show love to people who don’t deserve it But on the outside , ima happy , free , laughable , funny , outspoken , chill person you’ll ever meet Who I am you ask , im the girl you’ll love to be friends with , but never know im hurt That’s who I am

5. Doing It Wrong – Drake We live in a generation of, not being in love, and not being togetherBut we sure make it feel like we're togetherCause we're scared to see each other with somebody else

6. Where Im From I am from pink baby lotion , from coco butter dove soap . I am from the hardheads / cold-hearteds. I am from the bipolar weather , the pollen leaves I am from the good cooks and talk to much , from Mary and Melvin and Fonchea. I am from the long talk thanksgivings and longer talks at grandmas house . From Eshabob as a nick name , and being the spoil child outta three . I am from the chocolate African Americans . Im from Atlanta , chicken and pasta . From the quiet soul Mary , to the laughing , loud, outspoken Melvin , and the short, loud , kind Fonchea I am from loud mouths , to the sweet talkers , to the cold hearted , and the hardheads . AND I AM THE SHY LOVEABLE ESHA

7. Life Is Fine by Langston Hughes So since I'm still here livin',I guess I will live on.I could've died for love--But for livin' I was bornThough you may hear me holler,And you may see me cry--I'll be dogged, sweet baby,If you gonna see me die.Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

8. Love Love is a word that can not be explain Love can hurt you Love can set you up Love isn’t what it seems But when you have it with a special person The whole world stops Feelings , heartbreaking , confusion , more loving , etc. Love is just a word that we all seem to fall into .

9. Stone Cold – Demi Lovato Stone cold, babyGod knows I tried to feelHappy for youKnow that I am, even if ICan't understand, I'll take the painGive me the truth, me and my heartWe'll make it throughIf happy is her, I'm happy for you Stone cold, stone coldYou're dancing with her, while I'm staring at my phoneStone cold, stone coldI was your amber, but now she's your shade of gold

10. Home Let home be the place you can lie your head at after a long day Let home be the place that grandma makes her famous pumpkin pie Let home be the place you safe at and wont die Let home be the place auntie Nancy tell her man stories every event Let home be the place to smile at with your family by your side

11. Touched by An Angel By : Maya Angelou We, unaccustomed courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life.

12. Listen - Beyonce Listen, I am alone at a crossroadsI'm not at home in my own homeAnd I've tried and tried to say what's on my mindYou should have known (oh) Oh, now I'm done believing youYou don't know what I'm feelingI'm more than what you made of meI followed the voice you gave to meBut now I've gotta find my own

13. Figurative Language Poem - Onomatopoeia As the waves racing , splashing on the shore I ask for more SPLASH ! The biggest wave hit crashing on the shore Then more and more came destroying the beauty of the town WAHHHH ! AS A SCREAM COMES FROM A SCARD BABY As the waves destroy everything that belong to the families House , cars , friends , family

14. Someone Like You – Adele Hate to turn up out of the blue uninvitedBut I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be remindedThat for me it isn't over. Never mind, I'll find someone like youI wish nothing but the best for you tooDon't forget me, I begI'll remember you said,"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"

15. Family Family is there to help Family is there to be kept Where you fall down , they there to pull you back up Family is there to make sure you straight at all times , even if you not Family is there to care for you , cheer for you , and be there for you Without family , where would you be ?

16. Rolling In The Deep - Adele The scars of your love remind me of usThey keep me thinking that we almost had it allThe scars of your love, they leave me breathlessI can't help feelingWe could have had it all(You're gonna wish you never had met me)Rolling in the deep(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)You had my heart inside of your hand(You're gonna wish you never had met me)And you played it, to the beat(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
