Converse
Converse you are so comfortable,I can stand for long time without getting tired
beside me you stand,
beside me you walk,
you're one of my best shoes,
by choice we became friends.
I feel really bad when its time to leave you.
To have you as a company I feel lovely and appreciated. With you I found my first love and my first kiss you were there with me.
Apples
ApplesEverybody in the world eat Apples,
Some of the people like them a lot,
but I love apples so much.
I eat my first apple when I was three years old,
it was so big for me and red with a sweet flavor irresistible not to eat it.
Green apples are sour and sweet at the same time,
they have something that makes me happy ,
when I eat them. I feel something inside my body
like a tickling, its just amazing the first bit.

Beauty- By: John Masefield
BEAUTY
John Masefield
1 Have seen dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills
2 Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain:
3 I have seen the lady April bringing in the daffodils,
4 Bringing the springing grass and the soft warm April rain.
5 I have heard the song of the blossoms and the old chant of the sea,
6 And seen strange lands from under the arched white sails of ships;
7 But the loveliest things of beauty God ever has showed to me
8 Are her voice, and her hair, and eyes, and the dear red curve of her lips.
Alliteration: line #6 sails of ships;
Speaker: A man
Imagery:
line# 3 I have seen the lady April bringing in the daffodils,
line# 5 I have heard the song of the blossoms and the old chant of the sea,

Rhyme:
line# 7 But the loveliest things of beauty God ever has showed to me
line# 8 Are her voice, and her hair, and eyes, and the dear red curve of her lips.
