My favorite is "Falling Star". I can connect with it is because I have seen a real falling star. I think its cool to see one because it is a one in a life time chance you would ever see one. I like the writers craft because it is very detailed. It is very well written.One more thing that i like about it is fun to read. I recommend this poem to people that have seen a falling star, people that reading about stars,and people that like to red poems.

Dear Ms. Sikes,
I can connect to “The Falling Star” because it is like something I have seen before. When I saw it I called my parents because I thought that it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to see a star that is disappearing into outer space.
I like the poet’s craft better because I think he put his heart and soul into thinking about the idea of this poem. Also I like how it’s shorter than the other one and a lot of people aren’t afraid of a lot of thing in life.

I liked "Life Doesn't Frighten Me" because I can connect to it from when my dad gave me talk about that kind of stuff. I also liked the poets craft more.
Dear Ms. Sikes,
This is a very hard choice! "Life Doesn't Frighten Me" and "THe Falling Star"..... WHich one should I choose! I was thinking during the day, and I still can't think of on! I like both ideas, word choice, and rhymes. I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I really thought hard I think for me it's and ty. I don't want to get in trouble, so I'm just doing ini-mini-mini-mo.....I'm BBAACCKK. My favorite is "Life Doesn't Frightened Me"!!!!!!
"The Falling Star"
1. I can connect to the poem because you have to not take advantage of the things you have, enjoy it while you can.
2.I like the poets craft in the poem because it rhymes, and I like rhyming poems.
"Life Doesn't Frighten Me"
1.I can connect to the poem because the character in the poem is not afraid at all because GOD is with him[In the poem the character says a little charm] and he is with you no matter what.
2.I also like how this poem ryhmes because as I said before, I like rhyming poems.
3. My favorite is "life Doesn't Frighten Me" because the meaning of GOD is always with yo is very religious and that the way it is put into a poem is amazing.
"Life Doesn't Frighten Me" is about a person who isn't afraid of anything. I can connect because I'm not scared of many things. I like how the poem flows also. "The Falling Star" is about a shooting star. I can't really connect because I've never a shooting star. I also the flow of this poem too. The champion of Sikes/McGee poetry madness is...
"Life Doesn't Frighten Me" because I'm not really scared of many things.

I chose "Falling Star" I chose it because i love how the writer discribes it. I also like the format. Therefor "Falling Star" is better.
The poem I liked best was, “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me” (“The Falling Star” no as well). I liked it better because I can make a ton of connections with it. I can’t make as many connections to “The Falling Star”. I also like the story that “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me” tells. I really like the poets craft in the poem. I think the story that “Life doesn’t Frighten Me” tells is, a little girl is lost when she is really little. I think she is frightened because she is so little and doesn’t know what to do (It is pretty scary when you get lost). I think she is in a really BIG city and she doesn’t feel safe. I think she sees a lot of bad people and is afraid that someone might hurt her. A man walks up to her, he stops. She sees his uniform. HE IS A POLICE OFFICER!!!!!! He offered to call her parents and the little girl was back where she belongs. In the end she knew not to be frightened by life. I choose the poem, “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me”.
I feel negative about both of these poems, but I have to go with "Life Doesn't Frighten Me" I like the real life things that make that time period stand out. I also like the rhyme scheme. FYI: My favorite poem has been "Mother to Son" in the whole tournament!
Dear Ms.Sikes,
I pick "Life Doesn't Frighten Me" because it sets a good example to older kids, and the older kids can teach it to younger kids. The connection I make with it is my brother and sister set good examples to me.
Dear Ms. Sikes,
I choose the poem "Life Doesn't Frighten Me" because I have a connection with it. My connection is that some of the things in there I am not afraid of, like the person in the poem, and there are some things I am afraid of in the poem. I like the poet's craft because of all the word choice in the poem.
I like "The Falling Star" the best. Is why I chose it is because I have seen a shooting star before and it was really cool. I also like how it rhymed.
Dear Ms. Sikes, my favorite poem was "Life Doesn't Frighten Me" I had a connection to this poem because I'm not scared of much,and if I was I could face it. I liked the rhyming in this poem more than "Mother To Son"My favorite rhyme in it was,shadows on the wall, noises in the hall, life doesn't frighten me at all
I like "the Falling Star" because once I saw a falling star/flying star. It also has good points craft like lots of punctuation and rhymes.
"Life Doesn't Frighten Me" because sometimes I can't be strong and courageous as I want to be like the character.The poet's craft I like most about this poem is the repetition because repetition and rhyming go hand and hand.
I chose "The Falling Star" because of the way it rhymes, the writer's craft, and because of how it is worded. I like the way it rhymes because it is exact rhymes. For example, "sky" and "by" those are exact rhymes. I like the writer's craft because they say the falling star is a really magical thing. I like the way it is worded because of one sentence in the poem. It says, "Too burning and too hot to hold, too lovely to be bought or sold." I can relate to it because once I saw something really beautiful too, so it makes sense on how beautiful it is.
"The Falling Star" is my favorite poem because I really understand how such a vast star just comes and goes. I really like the poem because I can connect to it in many ways about feeling like life goes by to fast.
I chose "The Falling Star" because I like the way it rhymes, and a like a lot more about this poem than I don't in the other poem. I can connect with this poem because a falling star is kind of like a shooting star, and I like shooting stars because you can wish on them. In the poem it says, "Good only to make wishes on." So you can wish on the star in the poem. I would like "The Falling Star to win.
I like"Life Doesn't Frighten Me" because every one knows that you can't be totally fearless of every thing. I can connect to this poem because it would be really cool to not be afraid of anything, but if you were fearless you would do things that you wouldn't even think of doing otherwise. I also liked how the author said that he's not afraid of anything, but in the end it says,"But don't give me snakes or (these other things) because i'll scream in fright.
I connect with "Life Doesn't frighten Me" because sometimes when I hear noises or shadows in bed, I get a little freaked out.
I like the poets craft in "The Falling Star" when it says, "Too burning and too quick to hold, to lovely to be bought or sold."
So that means I think "The Falling Star" wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can connect to the poem "The Falling Star" because the poem expresses a message without straight out telling you. The message tells you to be thankful for things because you may not always have them.
I like the rhyming in "The Falling Star". It says, sky and by, hold and sold, and on and gone. The rhyming is exact. I like that about this poem.
I could go on and on about "The Falling Star". It is a great poem.
Dear Ms.Sikes,
I choose "Falling Star".
I chose "Falling Star" because I love to lay outside on a clear night and look at the stars.
The poet's craft I like in this poem is how the author describes the star in the poem.
Dear Ms.Sikes,
I can connect to "The Falling Star" because once I saw a shooting star that was as unique and special like the shooting star in the poem. I enjoy how the poet rhyme's in the poem. Also I enjoy how the poet sends the messages of you can see it and dream it but it will only be there for I little bit.
I can connect to "Life Doesn't Frighten Me" because I try for things in life to not frighten me, such as CLOWNS and SPIDERS.
I enjoy the really good rhyme in the poets craft. I like it because it all sounds really good together.
