This is a photograph Poem

It was taken on a humid summer day

At first it seems to be

boys being boys

This shows a younger boy showing his strength

then, as you look closer at it, you see an adult

making a young boy dreams come true

In the background there are many children and teenagers having fun, while playing basketball. (The photograph was taken during the peak of his childhood)

Haiku

I love basketball

It’s a good way to workout

Meet friends and have fun

Energize: Deflate

The two binary opposite songs that I chose are “Eye of a Tiger” by Survivor and “Wake Me Up When September Ends” by Green Day.  I picked these two songs because these are great examples of binary opposites for several reasons.

Eye of the Tiger is one of the most recognized pump up songs because it is very motivational. When I played hockey, before the game we always used to play it to pump us up. It is very motivational because the lyrics are so deep. "Risin' up, back on the street, did my time took my chances. Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet".

Wake Me Up When September Ends is a very deep and depressing song. It makes you think about death and war.  When you listen to this song,in a way, it deflates you. It makes you feel this way because of its lyrics."Here comes the rain again. Falling from the stars. Drenched in my pain again. Becoming who we are". These are the reasons I think that these are binary opposites.

Five Sense Poem

Love: Hate

Love is the pink in roses when you give it to your date

It sounds like waves crashing by a beach side resort

Love smells like freshly baked muffins in the morning

It tastes like a hot fudge sundae, melting in your mouth

It feels like a hot shower after a freezing soccer game in the winter

Five Sense Poem

Jealousy: Understanding

Jealousy is the red anger in people’s eyes
It sounds like the screeching of rubber tires before a car accident.
Jealousy smells like the rotten apple you left in your locker for the whole year.
It tastes like a acidic lemon that burns your skin.
It feels like germs killing one of your brain cells.
