**Memory Poem Poem #1:**

 * When I Was 7 Years Old:**

When i was 7 i had lots of things that happened to me. All the things where so sad an hurtful, I was so young i really didn't know what was going on. Things happened to me and not anyone else, I was 7 when i got hit by a car, All i felt was a big hit on my body, I blanked out. i really couldn't see anything. When i was a sleep all i could hear is my mom's voice. She was so hurt i never heard my mom act the way she did before, I really couldn't feel anything, it was like i was stuck to the bed. The pain was so bad that i couldn't get up, talk, or probably wake up. It was the worst nightmare I've ever had, My family members was so upset, When i was 7 i wish i never had that nightmare i had.


 * Taken**

She was 13 when she got taken away from her mother, She really didn't know what was going on. There mother was so hurt just by leaving them, She was taken because there was bad things going on wit her mom. They don't know why there mother was acting the way she was, She did stuff she never did before. She was taken because there was no other choice Know one knew in there family but there mom and brother. There mother tried everything to get her children back but nothing worked. She was taken not for a punishment but for safety even though she had a safe place to be.

 * Alone ****- ** **By Maya Angelou


 * Sonnet Poem #4: **
 * Me**

anyone can tell its me. Only some people can see , im beautiful, sweet and nice , it's hard to notice someone to be. Only notice a dice. Im spoiled but don't care , Some kids don't get what i get, and i know it's not fair. I speak spanish and english, and that would never vanish . I love to eat , not a lot though, so how about that seat.
 * Im me and only ** ** me ,

** What I think of my poems: In my poems i talk most about love, me, what i really like, and things that happened along time ago. Most of my poems don't rhyme and thats because i'm not that good at rhyming but i try all the time. In my poems i go hard like i be into them more then anything. I make all my poems real and sometimes my poems happened in real life. I just try to make my poems come realistic and i want a lot of people to notice them.

My poet is Maya Angelou:

Marguerite Ann Johnson Born April 4, 1928 Saint Louis, Missouri, U.S.

Maya Angelou was one of the first African American women who was able to publicly discuss her personal life. She became recognized and highly respected as a spokesperson for black people and women. Angelou's work is often characterized as autobiographical fiction. Angelou has, however, made a deliberate attempt through her work to challenge the common structure of the autobiography by critiquing, changing, and expanding the genre. Her books, centered on themes such as identity, family, and racism, are often used as set texts in schools and universities internationally. Some of her more controversial work has been challenged or banned in US schools and libraries.

I pick maya angelou because her poems are just like mine, like she likes her poems to become real and i like mine to become real to. She speaks her mind on everything, i'm pretty sure when she writes her poems she thinks of her life and how it is. She likes to be strong with her poems and i want mine to be notice and out there. I also pick this poet because she been through a lot of things and shows it by writing and thats what i do.
