My sonnet:
So-de-dumb Poem
Garret Esparza
Dissolved oxygen gives the fish their air
DCO2 annihilates the fish
They both are the most interesting pair
Making it stop would be my only wish
All life forms contain iron and copper
The irony is that too much can kill
The amount of metal is improper
They make the [fish flee from] the stream, so still.
Total Dissolved Solids are made of salt
E-coli comes from all the chicken eggs
They are so bad that they make the fish halt
Watch out cause this can destroy human legs
Chemicals are like ice, they are both cool
I learned about them in High Tech High School
Reflection:
What do you know about sonnets after finishing this project?
I know that sonnets are a poem with 3 quatrains and 1 couplet at the end. They have a very spefific rhyme scheme and each line must have 10 syllables.
How did you include nature as the theme of your sonnet?
I did, I talked about the chemicals that plauge the watershed/creek. There is also a theme of fish in the poem.
Were you happy with the end result of your sonnet?
Yes, becuase it is kinda funny and it is all accurate information.
