Assignment # 10

It's sad to think that this will be the last assignment we have to write. I have to say, overall I really enjoyed writing and becoming a better writer at poetry. I gradually changed my poems throughout the semester and I tried many different techniques.
When I was writing my last assignment I did something very different. I left the rhyme scheme behind and tried to apply "the candy" somewhere else. If you have read my poem or will be reading it, I don't know if the candy is that obvious to the reader. Most of the childhood memories that I incorporate in the poem are the candy. However, they are my memories and I don't know if that "candy" factor is obvious to the reader. So, now I am telling you that the laughs, the screams, the parties, and the fights are "the candy" in my poem.
When I started to write this piece I also approached it on a serious level, and tried to incorporate the special relationship my cousin and I share. All the ups and down I have been through with her it was hard not to look back at the childish moments we shared and not laugh. But, now I am not sure if it is as funny to the reader as it is to me; this conflict I am facing make me wonder, is my poem serious, funny, or both?
Basically, what I have to do is have you guys read my poem, then report back to me in our whole class work shop.

Hope ya like it!!!
