She is like a single flame
There is no way for her to be tame
When people try to turn out the light
She will always be there to put up a fight
Obstacles come in her way
But they will never make her stay
She keeps moving on
Yet she will never be gone
The way she burns bright
It could light up anyone’s night
Creating and writing poems have always been a struggle for me. What I find as the most challenging part is making sure that it flows all together nicely. Also I find it difficult to stick to the format of the type of poem that I have chosen to write.
For this particular poem I chose to compare my mom to a flame. When I think of my mom I think of a flame because she has a passion that burns so bright. She is also very strong and is hard to control, much like a fire. Much like a flame, many things are able to come across my mom as obstacles that need to be faced so that she can keep burning bright. She is what keeps me going, she is what helps me to see my path by lighting the way. Even if she is having a bad day, she still finds a way to make me or anyone smile.
The format of this poem I chose was a couplet. I chose to write five couplets that all fit together will. This took me quite some time to come up with an idea for each pair. The pattern for my poem is AABBCCDDEE. I chose this style of poem because I thought it would be a challenge to create rhyming pairs. This took me quite some time to find rhyming words that flowed nicely with the message I was trying to say. To help me come up with rhyming words I used this website.
