Kennedy's Poem: Special Brother




Title: Special Brother

What a special brother you are to me

I was born with yo eyes, yo nose, and yo smile
People say they “look like twins, Apollo and Artemis”

30 stitches 3 inches till brain damage
Went through your tissue
I still remember the day
Long scar for the rest of your life but went to short
We have the best connection like no other
Like a string that never breaks
Like a truth that never bends
Like a bond that never ends
I watch everything you do
I listen to everything you say

I look up to you
Be careful what you do..cause I’m always right behind you
We may disagree but at the end,
We lay side by side
You are the light to my day

You stand out in this dark crowd
Almost got killed 2 times
And I pray, I pray that it won't never happen again

We go through our moments together like
R.I.P Papa G
Daddy leaving and
Mommy yelling
The petrifying moments we go through
But we always stick together
Cause it's true when they say “blood thicker than water”

As kids we always stayed together
We fought, we laughed, we hugged, we cried
But never seemed to tell each other “I Love You”
You are my other half
It hurts me to see the pain you go through
Hurts me even more cause ain't nothing i could do

My big brother
Your little sister
A special brother we all love

always a special brother to me

  2. I like how you wasn't scared to talk about his disability. You seemed very confident about your poem, it shows that you can put all the argument you have had with him and make good memories out of them

  4. I loved you poem. It really reminded me of Nova's poem about her poem.

    I have a few questions:
    What is it about him that you can't do anything about it, and in the beginning what do you mean "30 stitches 3 inches till brain damage..went through your tissue"

  8. This poem is very loving. I can tell that you and your brother do have a special bond that is hard to break. I don't really know what its like to have big brother but from this poem I can understand the connection and love that you feel for him. I liked how you mentioned that people think ya'll are twins "Apollo and Artemis".

    Good job!

  9. Yass Kennedy, you did really good. I love that you show the relationship you have with your brother. You love him very much and I know when he goes through pain it really hurts you because in 4th grade you were bawling out crying more than he was. You guys really do look like twins and I feel that same connection with my brother. Even though we don't say we love each other to our brothers I can tell that you love him very much.

  10. That was so good! I loved everything about it from the passion, the multi modal to the title! I really loved how you incorporated that you sometimes do fight and you're not always perfect and happy all the time because that is reality. Your allusion "Apollo and Artemis" was really tied in well and i loved it so much! Great job!

  12. I liked how you had repetition and more importantly talked about your brother in a good way your poem was very serious and was special since it was on the topic of your brother.

  13. I liked how you added in moments that you went through together although they were hard times. I also enjoyed how you put in different common phrases to show how close you are to your brother.

  16. Braun-I thought you did a good job talking about what has happened in your past, I know how hard it is to do that. I also liked how you added family into the main part of your poem.

  17. I liked how you showed how much you love your brother and how much he means to you because it doesn't seem like it when you talk about him.
