Question: What do you think of my poem?

Posted: 29 Mar 2015 04:30 PM PDT

I had to write it for English class in college!
Tell me what you think.

POEM
Her sunny personality was as infectious as Ebola

The bright sunlight cut through the trees and hurt my eyes

The smell of freshly cut grass filled my nostrils

and tastes like dirt

The sunlight tastes the way the snow felt

Snow thrown my Chuck Norris in Bristol Bay, Alaska

Because it is very cold in Alaska

It is not that cold in Alaska

The pig rolled in the mud and the farmer milked the cow

" Get off of me" the mud told the pig

as milk jizzed from the cows utters

The dirty pig of curiousity and happiness

rolled in the mud

because he was dirty and needed a dirty shirt

He was as happy as a fish in the Namib Desert
The pig climbed a tree

and grew a mustache

Larry was there to see it all

Next week, next month, and next year

He will still be there to see it

I remember the pig climbing the tree like it was next week

Kuv nyiam caij ntuj sov

Even though the smell of the grass filled my nostrils

and the pig rolled in the mud and that was it

Question: How is this poetry?

Fighting through Life

Life can be tough, constant anger and struggles
You have to fight like a soldier, And rebuild from the rubble

I can't stand people, Their heart is nothing but hate
I only trust God, He gives me hope and the Faith

The strengh to carry on in this harsh world is crucial
We need a leader, To see us eye-to-eye and be mutaul

You can make all the money, But it won't succeed the loads that you loss
You only need one thing, The strengh to pass the roads you will cross

And once you fight through it all, And realize you survived
You'll break down to the ground, And tears will come out of your eyes

Over all don't stop fighting, Cause if you do you lose
Life gives you options, Its up to you which you choose.

They are well known for their long necks, long legs, and spotted patterns. Giraffes have small "horns" or knobs on top of their heads that grow to be about five inches long. These knobs are used to protect the head in fights. Male giraffes are larger than females. Males weigh between 2,400 and 3,000 pounds and stand up to 19 feet tall! Female giraffes weigh between 1,600 and 2,600 pounds and grow to be 16 feet tall. Healthy giraffes live about 25 years in the wild. Giraffes can be found in central, eastern and southern Africa. Their long necks help giraffes eat leaves from tall trees, typically acacia trees. If they need to, giraffes can go for several days without water. Instead of drinking, giraffes stay hydrated by the moisture from leaves.</span></p>    <p><span class="rptabuse Bg-f8 Cur-p D-ib Wpx-30 Hpx-30 Bdx-1g ie-fil-inherit D-ib shared-sprite Wpx-20 Hpx-20 Pos-a R-5 T-5 reportabuse-icon ie-fil-inherit"><em class="Hidden">Report Abuse</em></span></p>  </div><img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif" border="0" height="1" width="1" /></div>  </td>  </tr>  <tr>  <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;">  <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;">  <a name="6" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20150329123509AAIYIKK">Question: What radio station has poetry contest based on zip code numbers?'?</a>  </p>  <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;">  <span>Posted:</span> 29 Mar 2015 12:35 PM PDT</p>  <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><div id="raqdiv">  <h2 class="Mb-20 Fz-18 Fw-300">Report Abuse</h2>    <h3 class="Mb-10 Mt-21 Fw-400" id="usertextq">Additional Details</h3>  <textarea aria-labelledby="usertextq" id="raqta" rows="3" class="W-100 M-0 P-0 Maw-605 Bdx-1 Bdrs-0"/><p class="Mb-21">If you believe your intellectual property has been infringed and would like to file a complaint, please see our <a target="_blank" href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Finfo.yahoo.com%2Fcopyright%2Fus%2Fdetails.html%3Fpir%3Dwoxj.j1ibUnULFEIY6nyJQLxD.PLEphTPFivskb06cCK3lggdCqKTxtZqQ">Copyright/IP Policy</a></p>  <p><span role="button" tabindex="0" class="Cur-p Ol-n D-ib Px-13 Py-6 btn-primary">Report Abuse</span></p>  <p><span role="button" tabindex="0" class="Cur-p Ol-n D-ib Px-13 Py-6 btn-default">Cancel</span></p>    </div><div id="raadiv">  <h2 class="Mb-20 Fz-18 Fw-300">Report Abuse</h2>    <h3 class="Mb-10 Mt-21 Fw-400" id="usertexta">Additional Details</h3>  <textarea aria-labelledby="usertexta" id="raata" rows="3" class="W-100 M-0 P-0 Maw-605 Bdx-1 Bdrs-0"/><p class="Mb-21">If you believe your intellectual property has been infringed and would like to file a complaint, please see our <a target="_blank" href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Finfo.yahoo.com%2Fcopyright%2Fus%2Fdetails.html%3Fpir%3Dwoxj.j1ibUnULFEIY6nyJQLxD.PLEphTPFivskb06cCK3lggdCqKTxtZqQ">Copyright/IP Policy</a></p>  <p><span role="button" tabindex="0" class="Cur-p Ol-n D-ib Px-13 Py-6 btn-primary">Report Abuse</span></p>  <p><span role="button" tabindex="0" class="Cur-p Ol-n D-ib Px-13 Py-6 btn-default">Cancel</span></p>    </div><div id="racdiv">  <h2 class="Mb-20 Fz-18 Fw-300">Report Abuse</h2>    <h3 class="Mb-10 Mt-21 Fw-400" id="usertextc">Additional Details</h3>  <textarea aria-labelledby="usertextc" id="racta" rows="3" class="W-100 M-0 P-0 Maw-550 Bdx-1 Bdrs-0"/><p class="Mb-21">If you believe your intellectual property has been infringed and would like to file a complaint, please see our <a target="_blank" href="http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Finfo.yahoo.com%2Fcopyright%2Fus%2Fdetails.html%3Fpir%3Dwoxj.j1ibUnULFEIY6nyJQLxD.PLEphTPFivskb06cCK3lggdCqKTxtZqQ">Copyright/IP Policy</a></p>  <p><span role="button" tabindex="0" class="Cur-p Ol-n D-ib Px-13 Py-6 btn-primary">Report Abuse</span></p>  <p><span role="button" tabindex="0" class="Cur-p Ol-n D-ib Px-13 Py-6 btn-default">Cancel</span></p>    </div><img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif" border="0" height="1" width="1" /></div>  </td>  </tr>  </table>  <table style="border-top:1px solid #999;padding-top:4px;margin-top:1.5em;width:100%" id="footer">  <tr>  <td style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">You are subscribed to email updates from <a href="https://answers.yahoo.com/dir/index?link=list&amp;sid=2115500137&amp;tab=recent">Arts & Humanities: Poetry</a>  <br />To stop receiving these emails, you may <a href="https://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailunsubscribe?k=g9Fp_ACmuBNdr34sg9M95tHTPX8">unsubscribe now</a>.</td>  <td style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;text-align:right;vertical-align:top">Email delivery powered by Google</td>  </tr>  <tr>  <td colspan="2" style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States</td>  </tr>  </table>  </div>
