Introduction poems

Now people know what is poetry. Now, it is time to learn all different types of poetry.

The first poem I will introduce you is... it's funny, using that word introduce to introduce people to introduction poems. Yes, I'm introducing you poets to introduction poems.

Introduction poems are, of course, poems that introduce people. It can be as long as people want, but it's better to be longer. That way, it's more, um, detailed. This type of poem starts with "I am (introducing person's name here)" Lets make an example. Who should be a volunteer... Michael Jackson. If you are introducing Michael Jackson to the world, the poem should start and end with "I am Michael Jackson". Speaking of Michael Jackson, did you know Michael Jackson was a poet, too? He was even a American singer-songwriter, dancer, actor, choreographer, businessman, philanthropist and record producer. You can write that at the poem. "I was a American singer-songwriter, dancer, actor, choreographer, poet, businessman, philanthropist and record producer." You can say more true interesting facts about him, such as "I was known as the King of Pop" or "I was proclaimed the most awarded entertainer of all time, the biggest-selling artist of all time, the most popular artist in the history of show business, and the world’s most famous man", but the facts at an introduction poem can bee lies, too. You can say "I man-wrestled a man eating crocodile". I don't know if Michael Jackson actually did that, but you can write it anyway. OK, so here's an introduction poem I wrote about me. I used facts and false facts at the same time.

I am James Kim.

I was once totally freaked out by fish that were harmless.

I have a best friend that I so want to kill.

I hate North Korea.

Once it took me 1 minute for me to write one sentence on the computer.

I have the world's worst balance.

I am a christian.

I got called by the police for making prank calls.

Once in a zoo, a crocodile came out of it's cage and tried to eat me.

I have an older brother who is in middle school.

I was once interested in being an inventor.

I am James Kim.

You might find it hard to write false and true facts at the same time. If you do, here's a way. You write out all the true sentences on the top. Then, write the false sentences on the bottom. Then mix the sentences up. It's simple.

Well, that's it for introductions. Next, it's time for circle poems.

Until then, C ya!

What is poetry?


If you didn't see what I told you to see before you see this, please go back and see Look at this before you see What is poetry.

I think that's what I wrote as the title.

O.K., so at the post before, I asked what is poetry. You might think you're smart and write an answer. Well, what you wrote as an answer is wrong. I don't care if you wrote something smart like rhymes and lines and stuff, but they're wrong.

Poetry is actually anything a person might write about. Someone writes a poem about his feelings. That is poetry. Someone writes a poem to tell an idiotic person a lesson. Again, poetry. Someone just writes anything he chooses in his own mind. They are all poetry.

O.K. Here's an example.



Dawn blushed; betrayed her waking sky
To gently break another morrow fine.
Night waned – the black receding – highland
Reaching for the early morning wine.

The chorus rendered frantic caws and
Chirps and other avian song,
Mapping out the 'mine and yours, ' and
Goading more to sing along!

Quiescent water – deep of lake –
Reflected out the hazy red, but
Through the glass, a flick, a break:
An urgent tail from hidden bed!

And in the meadow, waking faces
Calmly spread a colored veil;
The dew disclosing spider laces–
Oft with once a fly’s travail!

Dawn blushed; revealed her inner peace.
She handed on another blissful day.
Night ebbed, relenting to release of
Warming blood that gives to her display.





This is a poem called Dawn, written by Mark R Slaughter. When he was writing this, he could have just wrote a poem looking out of his window at dawn and write what he have seen.

You see, poems can be random things. They can be anything in the world. Even your own crummy house can be a perfect poem. Well, I guess it won't be the best. Still, I'm not talking about qualities of poems. What I am talking about is that everything you can do can be a poem.

So, now, what is poetry?

If you said an answer, please read this entire thing all over again.

Just kidding! You have no need to read all this all over again.

Well, that's it for this post. Starting from the next post, I am going to talk about different types of poems. I am talking about Haikus and Cinquains and Diamantes.

You are now going to enter the wonderful world of poetry.

From James K to all beginners of poetry

Look at this before you see what is poetry.

I hope you followed the instructions of the title and see this before you read what is poetry. If you didn't, that's O.K. Better late than never.

I'm not writing anything here. I'm just asking a question.

If you think you're so smart, answer me this question.
