Poetry out loud

The poem I chose was "The arrow and the song". I chose this poem because it had a good meaning behind it. The meaning behind it is that you never know were you end up at whether the place you are in is good or bad and that where you go is your choice. Also the poem is short but the length isn't the reason I chose it.

I plan to prepare for this compition by reciting my poem many times and also memorizing it. I also have to make sure i convey the meaning and just not read the poem. Also i need to beat Cody because he is to good.

I am coming for you CODY

Three Poems by Robert Frost

The poem I chose to write about is "The Road not Taken". I chose this poem because there is so much meaning behind it. This poem talks about how you will have to make tough decisions in life and is not always best to take the road that looks the easiest. Even if the road you take is hard you have to see it through because at the end it could pay of. In the poem Robert Frost says "...Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,"

This poem relates to my life because i have had to make tough decisions and i have always taken the easy way out instead of the way that will take more effort then maybe pay out in the end. Also I think this poem relates to my by the way it talks about the decisions you make and how they will effect you later in life good or bad.
