A Wealth of Knowledge

a poetic response to Skullduggery by Kathleen Karr

Used every day for the simplest things
Heads
Always working
Brains
It makes you you
Personality
Many would lose it if it wasn't attached
Heads
Used every second until death
Brains
Separated you from the world
Personality
Scientifically dug up
Heads
Bulge and need space
Brains
Bulges indicate
Personality
All of the above
Phrenology
The adventure that it entails
Skullduggery

  1. That poem was both enticing and rather different with he digging up of heads and bulging of brains. It painted a horror scene in my head, but I wasn't sure if that's what you were going after. I like how you have a pattern and then you rhyme and change it at the end.

  2. You used good vocabulary in this esepacially toward the end, which I think can be hard, atleast for me, when writing a poem.

  3. I totally agree with Delaney on the vocabulary part! It was a different poem and you did a really nice job!
