For this blog post, I am going to be creating a found poem from the first draft of my narrative project, which is of course all about my cousin Kate. "Kate, I love you like my baby sister", "Matt, I've always loved you like a big brother", Tears begin streaming down Kate's cheeks, "Come here, kid", "I'm going to have an interesting conversation with your track coach", 'What about?", "You being in the next track meet. I'm going to help train you for it, too. You have a gift from God for running, you just don't know it yet". "Float like a Cadillac, sting like a Ford. Go Kate go!", Kate goes screaming by again and again, In the background, the sun is rising, It's the perfect time of day. In no time at all, Kate completes almost six miles, And she never slows down, never falters, Fearlessly plowing right through, Just like a mighty steam engine, After what seems like an eternity, Friday, judgement day, arrives "It's time, Kate" Matt and Kate walk hand in hand down to the track, "Go get 'em, tiger". "Just believe in yourself, kid. Now, get out there" About halfway in, Kate begins to falter, "Run, Kate, run!" Kate jumps into fourth place, then slides into third, Finally, Kate enters second place. "You're almost there, kid! You can do it!" Matt's heart catches in his throat, Kate sprints into first place, And wins the track event. Kate's coach offers her a spot on the team, The crowd begins cheering for her, Kate hugs her older sister and cousins, But she hugs her cousin Matt the longest. Do you think the narrative provides enough descriptive language to create a compelling found poem? Yes, I think the narrative provides more than enough descriptive language to create a compelling found poem, for sure. I think that the story in itself is so compelling that you can feel the emotion and personal connection between the characters in the story. Do you think the descriptive language more so creates a setting or delivers the subtext of a theme? I don't think, I know that the descriptive language helps to deliver the subtext of a theme. That theme being, of course, that I care very deeply about my cousin Kate.

The found poem explores a relationship and provides the action of a story. How do you think this story differs from the story you shared in class?

This poem shows good descriptive action to give off a theme.
