Heartbeats

Please look at the types of poems page on the classroom site.  See if you can tell what combination of poetry  this poem is made up from.


Horseshoes and sunshine
rattles and spoons
cars and that little dog
ice cream and shoes

Memories we bring from childhood to bust
the little thoughts for each day we live with trust


Broken bottles and night
Police sirens and screams
guns and the raging bull
bullets and shame

Memories that disturb and destroy
now we are all lost girls and lost boys

  2. Depends on your childhood & how you grew up, could affect your future.

  3. I believe it says that we should hold on to our youth and innocence while we can. Because sometimes the future we expect wont unfold so well. Things might get worse.

  4. haiku because it follows the 5,7,5 pattern and the other half i'm not sure the poems seem to focus on past memories
