Imagery in Poetry Blog Post Paragraph

When you were born I wasn't prepared for your sweetness.
The touch of your soft baby hands and your cute button nose.
I couldn't be more proud to being your big sister.
When not a morsle passed your lips yet, the smell of your breath was as pure as your innocence.
I couldn't get over the sight  your dark brown eyes when you first opened them.
I could look into them forever as if I could see your future.
The sound of your giggle for the first time made my heart fly like a baby blue bird.
I tasted your baby food when you didn't want it for a week, and understood why you kept spitting it out.

Poetry Previous Knowledge Paragraph

If I'd had a choice between a book and poetry I couldn't choose. I love books because it lets explore in different worlds of a unique author's minds. I love poetry because it's really deep in thoughts and feelings.  It taps into a whole different level of feeling and understanding for me. I'm a little more keen on poetry because it comes from the heart and soul for me and not just made up of characters. Stories give me the chance to experience the imaginary side of my favorite authors. I'm sorry I can't give you an answer because literature is the same for me in any unit. I love to read both stories and poetry.
