"Raised by" Example Poem and Frame

You can use the following frame for each stanza:

(imagery detail)

(imagery detail)

(imagery detail)

(imagery detail)

Kind of (person).

Fill in the parentheses with your own ideas. Of course, you can vary the wording of the frame or diverge, but remember to at least stick to the requirements listed at the bottom of the front of Assignment #25.

Here is my personal "Raised by" poem:

I was raised by

pen to paper scribbling and scratching

computer keys click clacking

comic book drawing

write until 5 AM in the morning

because your story demands that you do

kind of creative mind.

I was raised by

Zelda sword wielding “Hyah!”

Kirby pink puffball puffing

Super Smash Brother fighting

bass-pumping

musical arrow stomping

kind of video games.

I was raised by

slow vietnamese ballad

saturday morning jamming

Sizzling shrimp and scallop

stirfried in a wok with a giant chopstick

“Get straight A’s or you’re getting spanked”

with said chopstick

kind of mother.

I was raised by

wake me up at 8 in the morning on a Saturday

to drag me out to a tennis court

durian stinking up the whole damn fridge

the yellow slimy flesh smelling like

rotten mangos

onions

gym socks

“we don’t talk about problems” --

we throw things instead

kind of father.

I was raised.
