Metacognition:

This Iambic dimeter took a while to think of, especially the second stanza. The words didn’t rhyme very well with any other word on the same topic which made it hard. I finally found out some words that worked out and completed this. It was a challenge but was also fun.

We get less sad(c)

Metacognition:

I was a little upset after figuring out that I had done the entire assignment wrong. I had messed up the syllables, but messing up is a part of life. I got right to my ipad and started writing. Eventually this image came into my head and I turned it into a poem. I am starting to like iambic dimeters though.
