Summer
(Writer Unknown)
the grass so green,
the sun so bright,
life seems a dream,
no worries in sight
tans and tank tops,
laughter and bliss,
each moment passes,
without even a miss
friends and cookouts,
memories and laughs,
good times to remember,
but how long will it last
the grass soon fades,
leaves begin to fall,
school replaces sleepovers,
oh I'll miss it all.

I decided to show you this poem because I love summer and the beautiful sun light and beaches and bright colours, it's the time of year where everyone is their happiest and a time of laughter and fun in the sun.
It was difficult finding a particular name for this poem so it makes it a very unique free verse poem that involves the A,B,A,B technique and every B line has end rhyme within every stanza, and in stanza 3 the end rhyme is assonance, 'laughs' and 'last' rhymes because the same vowel sound but you wouldn't think that these particular words would rhyme because they don't look the same. The poem also contains a simile in stanza 1, line 3 'life seems a dream". The author I believe wrote this poem to show you about how special summer is and how beautiful and vibrant summer is with his choice of words.

Rain
John Beharry
rain is falling on the window pane
with a very pleasant refrain
that is soothing to my brain
it does not leave a stain
so it's not a pain
it stopped its reign
once again
there's no
rain
I chose this poem to show you another type of many poems and this is a beautiful example of a nonet poem.
A nonet must have 9 lines and 9 syllables in the first line, 8 syllables in the second line, 7 syllables in the third line, 6 syllables in the fourth line, 5 syllables in the fifth line, 4 syllables in the sixth line, 3 syllables in the seventh line, 2 syllables in the eighth line and 1 syllable in the ninth line. Nonets does not have to rhyme but you can put rhyme into nonets and this one just coincidentally does. In line 1 and 2 the words "pane" and "refrain" are assonance rhyming which is where they have the same vowel sound but don't always have the same vowel this is also in lines 6 and 7. John Beharry wrote this poem about how he loves the sound of rain and that it soothes and calms himself down and how powerful he finds rain but it eventually goes away.
