Sterling+Perry

Hello Reader, My name is Sterling Perry and welcome to my poetry wiki. This wiki contains a touch of all the elements, styles, perspectives, techniques, examples and research of poetry. To be more specific we started off with a quote about poetry that we found interesting. Next, we had to write a few different types of poetry. In these poems we needed to experiment with different styles of poetry such as found poems, riff poems etc. Within those poems we had to experiment with different techniques of writing such as stanza structure, mood setting, alliteration and all types of literary elements.

“Poetry is the doorway to the soul” –Floria

The new poetic techniques I plan on using are repitition, no so much rhyme, metaphors and simile.


 * __Hoop Dreams__**

blue white and yellow made of plastic. It felt very bumpy as if it had goosebumps It stayed in the living room next to the window walking to the store Heart filled with excitement My first basketball court

It’s a good poem. Make sure it has good repetition though. I kinda was lost a little bit. It also has good imagery. Continue to work on it and I think the poem would be good.

It makes you think because it could be a lot of things. Just make a little more sense

 * __Hoop Dreams (revised)__**

blue white and yellow made of plastic. 6 feet tall and came with a ball

It felt very bumpy as if it had goosebumps It stayed in the living room next to the window walking to the store Heart filled with excitement My first basketball court

Blue white and yellow made if plastic 6 feet tall and came with a ball

Raeven: I'm confused about the store part but it does have me think of who the 6ft tall person could be - of course since your not 6ft lol -. But I thought it was interesting.


 * __Ode To Music__**

Raeven: This is decent, I think it flows in a nice way.


 * __I Was Created By Diversity__**

I was created by diversity inspired by surroundings My diverse surroundings they all astound me

Created from the crack a forty sittin on the porch, cookouts for the kids home of the best, vibe in Southwest Created by the high class hippie range rover, lambo owning teens in Yeadon Created by the ballers up North the down south hospitality the fairmount morals And the most obvious of these my parents

I was created by diversity inspired by surroundings My diverse surroundings they all astound me

+I see what you did there by naming a lot of places of Philly. +I like the repetition of the first stanza. +Tells the reader a lot about you


 * __Morning Routines (Riff Poem)__**

Early morning rise and yawn slugging to the washroom Looking at the person I've become I see my beauty in you My reflection I look right through into my inner thoughts future plans Old memories Haunting regrets past romances

Put on my clothes with sweet product placement leaving the place I call home drinking my mom's sweet brew she repeats to me I see my beauty in you. Raeven: I like both of these poems I think out of all of them.

+I like the imagery in the first stanza -I would consider using a couple better verbs in the second stanza. -R.A


 * __(Scar) Gift From God__**

The sunny shores of Florida, to the sky scrapers in New York, It's been there, It's been with me everywhere

Dark brown fades away as i age a form of identity a symbol of what I've been through

It stares me in the face whenever i see the reflection of my outer shell in place of a third eye ...or maybe it is? was it mean't to be?

A scar to you A gift from god to me
