Clouds in a Sky



Clouds in the Sky


Clouds are as soft as silk
They lay peacefully upon us
In the sky
Sometimes are grey
Other times are as white as snow
They are as shapeless as a pudding
They block the Sun
Make rain come down
People watch them and make shapes out of them
Clouds are as fluffy as cotton balls

My Skin Poem



My Poem


My skin is a beautiful sculpture
Which is mine but that I did not create.
Like a protective watch dog
It is like a tattoo
Forever with me
No matter what
Like a seed
It will grow
It is a battlefield
Fighting off germs
Forever it will be

Dog Of Pompeii by Louis Untermeyer



"Dog Of Pompeii"


    In "Dog of Pompeii" by Louis Untermeyer, the dog, Bimbo shows that he is reliable throughout the story.  I chose this because Tito relies on Bimbo to guide him and help in life since Tito is blind.  In the text it says, "Bimbo was telling him the way out"  In the quote we can see that Tito really trusts his dog.  He let him guide them out.  Tito has to rely on Bimbo to help with many of his activities.  Bimbo would never hurt his owner unless Tito needed to know if Bimbo was with him.



      In "Dog of Pompeii" by Louis Untermeyer, Tito is shows that he is very observant.  In the text it says, "Tito had no idea of the time of day. He could feel it was black." In this quote it shows that since he is blind he can't really see the time of day but he could feel that it is dark outside.  But he is very aware of what is happening around him. He can still feel and hear other things.
