Metaphor Poem Rough Draft

I am a mask,
I change in an instance to fit with my surroundings at times
Though most times I like to stick out
I can cheer you up and make you laugh with my funny faces
I can be simple and easy going
Though I can also be formal and professional like a masquerade mask
I can sometimes look one way but feel another
I almost always have a smile plastered on my face like a clown mask
I AM A MASK!

  1. chad This poem that you wrote is very expressing, this is very good. your giving me me feelings and your explainig why you are a mask and how almost always have a smile plastered on your face good choice word. i think a mask does describe you because of how you explain it in your poem. good job chad!

  2. Hey chad.

    I really like the poem. It really does describe your personality! "I can cheer you up and make you laugh with my funny faces" is a really good metaphor. I'm actually shocked how well your poem describes you. Very good job! :)
    Your word choice was excellent. Overall, good job ! :D

  3. Hi Chad,
    Like your teammates, I enjoyed the poem.
    They left out something important in the requirements, though, when they commented. The poem must be at least 12 lines long.
    I make that requirement because I want students to develop their metaphors fully.
    In think you can actually add 4-5 lines to this...
    After each of the "I can..." lines include a line that describes what that is like in your life...like in what situations do you like to fit in to the surroundings? when are you formal, like a masquerade? etc.
    I think the addition of these details will give your poem more depth and help it to describe you better.
