Things I Learned Last Year

Dogs are something that my
parents do not want to get.

Sometimes medicines are
not worth the side effects.

Cam Newton, a man who's 
devoted his life to football, 
created the most popular dance
move right now, the dab.

Dj Khaled is a rapper, 
but he inspires everyone.

Some guys who now sit 
at my table in english, were 
not even in my class last 
semester.


     I liked 2015 a lot. It was a very fun year, and I was able to do a lot of fun things with my friends. I met more new friends this year than my past three years combined. I tried some new things that I was unsure about in 2015 that ended up being amazing. Overall, 2015 was a great year.
     The tone of my poem is very lighthearted. It is not complex, deep, or personal in any way. There is nothing personal about this poem because no big, life-changing events happened to me is 2015. I really did not learn any super personal things about myself of anyone around me. The tone of this poem reflects my 2015 year.
     Stafford's poem has very lighthearted stanzas just like mine. Most of his stanza's are random, ironic facts he learned. Our poems are very different though because he included some deep things that he had learned, whereas the entirety of my poem was random and has no serious topics in it.
