Dear Ms. Sikes,
I think "If" is about how to stay strong even when others hurt you, and to never give up even if it feels hopeless.
I think "Who Has Seen The Wind" is about no one is able to see the wind, but you can feel its presence. I think it is sort of talking about God.
My favorite poem was "If" because it makes me feel that even though I'm going through a tough time to be strong, and to never give up.
"If-" is about being a man and what you have to do to be one. I think this story is a good example for boys that are growing to be a man. "Who has seen the wind" is about us never seeing the wind but you can tell when it's there.
The winner is "Who Has Seen the Wind" because I always wonder why we can't see the wind.
1."If~" is about if you can do these things you will become yourself, your true identity.
2."Who Has Seen the Wind" I think the trees are the people and God is the wind, so when he walks by we bow are heads down to him.
3. "Who Has See the Wind" is my favorite because it doesn't talk about God, you have to infer it. And I like those kind of poems a whole lot.
Dear Ms.Sikes,
1. "Who has seen the wind" is about someone who hasn't seen the wind and telling people that you can't see it but you can feel it.
2. "If" is about telling people that If you do that you can do this. And one of them is, If you can keep your head when all about you, Are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
3.I chose "Who has seen the wind" because I like how the writer repeats 2 sentences in the poem and also I like how he says you can't see it but you can feel it.
1. "If-" is about a person that is trying to be strong, and not let people tease her and be mean to her.
2. "Who Has Seen the Wind?" is about people can't see the wind because it is invisable.
3. I chose "Who Has Seen the Wind?" because I liked how it repeated "Who has seen the wind?"
"Neither I nor you:."
1."If-" is saying how if you are patient you can be all the the other things. It`s kind of like the thing they say at flag, except the opposite.
2."Who Has Seen the Wind" is about how you can feel or hear something, but can not see it.
3. I like "If-" because I think it`s cool how the poet is telling you you can do a lot of good things just by being patient.
1. "If-" is about If you can do things and what you do.
2. "Who Has Seen The Wind" is about nobody being able to see the wind but, knowing it's there.
3. My favorite poem is "Who Has Seen The Wind" because I can understand it better than "If-" I also like the way it asks a question and answers it.
"If~" is about a dad talking to his son about if you could do this and that, you'll be a true man. Even though, unlike most poems, it doesn't rhyme as much, it is very good.
"Who Has Seen the Wind?" is about nobody seeing the wind. I almost think it is about not lying.
My favorite is "If~" because it is telling you all these good traits. It makes me want to have those traits and be a better person.
1) "If~" tells you that you have a chose to make, if you like it or not.
2) "Who has seen the wind?" is about the wind which we can`t see but know it's there, and it also rhymes.
3) My favorite is "If~" It`ll lift your spirits if your feeling bad.
Dear Ms. Sikes,
1."If-" is about the author writing about the author telling the readers that even though that you might be different you should never let that stop you.
2."Who Has Seen the Wind" is about the author asking," has anybody seen the wind?"
3. My favorite is "If-" because it sets a good example to me.
1. "If~" is about if you can do something, if you can achieve that goal, then you will be successful. It is also about being good to others and being nice to them.
2. "Who Has Seen the Wind" is about how you can't see the wind, but you can feel and see it in the things.
3. I chose "Who has Seen the Wind" because it's about how you can feel and see the wind in things, but you can't actually see it.
Dear Ms. Sikes,
1. “If” is all about life and how sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is very hard.
2. “Who Has Seen the Wind?” is all about how you have never seen the wind but you have felt the wind and you have heard the wind.
3. I like “if” more because it has more meaning to me and relates to me more, and it is longer so I got to read more of it.

1. "If~" is about a parent that is explaining to their son that life is not always the best, but he has good people to comfort him.
2. "Who Has Seen the Wind?" is about someone who wants to know if anyone has seen the wind, though he/she has heard it passing by.
3. I choose "Who Has Seen the Wind?" because I like the word choice. For example, it said "nor" and I like that because it flows well.
Dear Ms. Sikes, the poem "If" is mostly about someone who might be thinking to much. That might have had something bad happen and they are thinking aloud!
The poem "Who has seen the wind" Is about someone or something that is maybe sure that no one has seen the wind.about someone who might be thinking to much. That might have had something bad happen and they are thinking aloud!

1."If~" is about how to live your life in a positive way and telling you should do during hard times.
2."Who Has Seen the Wind?"is about if you have seen the wind.
3.I pick "If~" because I could probley read this during very hard times and be calm again.

"IF" is about you should trust in your self and don't doubt your self.
"Who has sean the wind" is about you cant see the wind if a object can move in the wind like a leaf or somthing else.

"Who Has Seen the Wind?" means wind is invisible but we can see it's effects.
"If" means having good character isn't easy.
My favorite poem is "If" because it teaches a VERY good life lesson
The meaning of "If-" is that you should treat every one the way you want to be treated and don't be one of those people that no one likes and has no friends.
The meaning of "Who Has Seen the Wind" is that you can't see the wind but you can feel and see the things that are being touched by it.

“If~” starts with the words, “If you can keep you head” and continues in that fashion; If, if…“if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you” and ends with congratulating the reader on their prospering virtues.
“Who has seen the Wind” is a poem that captures the extraordinary, almost parapsychological nature that surrounds us, giving us a feeling of wonder at the great beauty of Mother Nature.
“Who has seen the Wind” has always been one of my favorite poems (other than “The Swing”—my favorite) because it, like I said earlier, has always struck me as parapsychological, or magical, in multiple ways. First off, you begin to see in a new light; a light of knowledge, truth, and, silly as it may sound, joy for the wonderful and consternations within our grasp.
Dear Ms. Sikes,
"If~" is mostly about if nothing is going great in life but you keep going, and keep your head up it will make you a better person.
"Who Has Seen the Wind?" is about how no one can see the wind, you only know it is passing by because of the trees and branches that are rumbling.
I like "If~" because I think many people can connect with it because no one has ever had a "perfect" kind of day, and if you're not, you have to stay strong and not let it affect you or anyone else.
The poem “If” is about how perseverance, honesty, and humbleness can help you be respected. The poem “Who Has Seen the Wind?” is about not being able to see things, but knowing that they’re there from how they make a difference. I liked the poem “If” because of its theme, moral, and wording. My dad tells me to do the same things that are in this poem and I can relate to some of those things. I agree that living your life like that does make you a better person.
Dear Ms. Sikes,
I think the meaning of "If~" is that you have to have a good character and then you will be a true man.
I think "Who Has Seen the Wind" is trying to say that the wind is beautiful even though we can't see it, but we can feel it.
I like "If~" better because I like the message of the poem. I also like how it says if all the time, referring to the title.
1. "If-"is about if you can trust your self,if you can dream, if you can force your heart, if foes nor living friend can hurt you,and many more.
2. "Who can see the wind" is about how no one can see the wind except throw the trees.
3. I like "who can see the wind" because I can under stand it better and relat to the trees leves and trees falling over.
Dear Ms. Sikes
I think number one is to help others and help yourself. Number 2 is You can never see the wind.
I think number 1 won.
I think the first poem is about believing in your self so that you will have a good character and be a great person. The second one is about how you can never see the wind.
I like the first one because I always try to believe in my self.
