Extended Metaphor Poems
Roars from the depth of horizon
Like a torrid sun shining upon a freezing jungle
Protecting others like a father.
Uses his securing claws for bringing peace
To a world where he is the commander.
The herd of animals are encouraged by him
Because of his fearlessness.
His confidence is boosting
With his sharp teeth making him threatening.
His authority is empowering his respect
With his irresistible superiority.
He is the mentor of all
Creates security and sorrow

It was one of our first poems and I really enjoyed writing it, since I have a partner. After writing this poem, I felt like I can be a poet, because it was the first poem I thought that it has poetic elements in it.

Istanbul Poem
Istanbul is
a new house which brings new friends as neighbors,
a tunnel which will lead you to a great future,
having another continent just across the sea,
a combination of thousands of cultures,
the place where everyone can live happily,
new opportunities for everything in life,
a busy life that will keep you up all night.
Even though the cons, Istanbul is a new life.
Writing a poem about Istanbul was a wonderful idea, because I came from Antalya and I have never compared these two very different cities by writing. I believe that writing is the most powerful way to both compare and remember ideas.

The Oblivious Mosquito by Sanem Ay & Mert Düşünceli
It was the midnight of a gloomy night
My empty stomach growled and was tight
Needed to find a victim full of thick blood,
Started seeking the delicious flood
In haste I flew into the house on the right
Inside laid a man asleep in brilliant light
So he was my brand-new victim
I was so eager to get my fill of him
My old cousin was the house’s vinegar fly
But he never told me he was a wise guy
How could I know I would die
By the hands of my prey, without a cry
Writing as a mosquito was very fun. I enjoyed putting myself on a mosquito's shoes. Since I see them as my enemies, writing this poem helped me to see other perspectives.

HaikuIn the starry night,
Reflection of the blue sky, Dropping on the town. |
Found Poem - CoupletThere is a mystic lady being lonely,
Many lover lie on the doorstep for lovely Writing a Haiku and a Couplet was not as easy as it seems. You need to think about both rhymes and you need to count the syllables. Also, you need to use existing words to write a found poem. However, I enjoyed a lot.

Humpty Dumpty
Original
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again .
Parody
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty was shot by a cannonball,
All the people looked at him surprised,
While he was looking for the criminal surmised,
He flew across the blue sky,
Couldn't say his friends goodbye.
Writing a parody was funny. These nursery rhymes are already really enjoyable poems. Making them more exciting and putting a message in those nursery rhymes made it better and funnier at the same time.

Recipe For Happiness
You don't need money,
To make this recipe.
Maybe a cheeseburger brings it,
Maybe a car or a chocolate.
Take a big pan of smile,
Add some pleasure and fortune,
Stir the mixture with joy,
In order to make it perfect,
Marinate it with good friends.
It will be baked,
When you're with your family.
And you'll be satisfied,
After you finished making the recipe.
In my opinion, recipe poems are the best and funniest poems we have ever written. They really made us think what our topic was made of. For example, mine was "Recipe for Happiness" and it made me think of what happiness really is.

Painting Poem
The Persistence of Memory
Tick-tock tick-tock
There is no time left
For doing what I've always wanted.
I forget what were those things
Although I wanted them for a long time.
Tick-tock tick
Day by day, i'm getting lonelier.
Ants, my friends leave me all by myself.
Maybe the time has come.
The time that people forget me.
And the time that I start forgetting everything.
Every single good detail
Which builds up my life.
Tick-tock
The life will end soon
Since I see melting clocks
All over the place,
And they can't tell me time now.
They can only tell me that
My time is up.
Tick...
The painting poem I wrote was my best poem ever. After I wrote it, I was amazed by my own poem. I think everyone should feel this feeling once in their lifetime.
