Introduction

   Hi, I'm Robby Dosier. I go to Carbondale Community High School. I'm a freshman in Mrs. Emily Hayes English one class.We are currently in the poetry unit. My next six post after this will be poems that I wrote my self. Some about my favorite thing in the world and that's basketball. The others about the people that give me the confidence to succeed and that's my family.
   My favorite poem would have to be the one about my grandpa. My grandpa was my role model before he died and he still is. He succeed in everything he did and he is a great person to look up to. My least favorite poem was my first one, iBall. I didn't not like it it was just that I liked it less than my other ones. I have learned so much about poetry this unit it is unbelievable. But I think the most important thing i learned was that i actually enjoy reading and writing poetry. In this unit I have learned that I'm a pretty good poet, and I'm glad i discovered this talent of mine.

Scenes; Dreams

The older
guys are playing
in another gym.
This where I
want to be
one day.
This is where
I WILL be
one day.
Every college coach
in the country is here.
Watching the
best of the best.
and to fulfill these
boys dreams.
One coach is going
to fulfill  my dream
of playing college basketball.
This is where
I WILL be
one day.
Top notch competition.
I will have to work hard.
But,
This is where
I WILL be
one day.

Failing

When I lose a game.
I failed.
It is just my competitive nature.
If we lose,
I did something wrong.
Therefore I failed.

But what is different with me,
If I fail, I'm doing whatever I can to not repeat.
You may see me struggle,
But never give up.

A life well lived

A grandpa to me.
A husband to grandma.
A father to my Dad and Uncle.
And a friend to so many others.
That is my Grandpa.

A die hard Cardinals fan.
A Mckendree Bearcat forever.
A Maroon and Lancer at the same time.
That is my Grandpa.

Part of St. Mathews.
Part of the schools.
Has affected so many peoples lives.
That is my Grandpa.

Trip Poem; Texas

Last weekend.
I went to Texas.
Dallas, Texas.

Mexican Restraints and Steakhouses.
That is Texas.

I went for basketball.
We won three games,
and lost one.

We lost a very important one.
It made us eliminated.

After the game we swam,
and then waited for our flight.
 Texas was very fun.

Family

Family.
Always there for you.
No matter what.
They give you advice.
They give food and shelter.
If you need something they will find a way to give it to you.

Sometimes it isn't about what they give you.
Sometimes it is just their presence that matters.
Sometimes all they can give you is their love and support.
And most of the time that's all you need.

A Day in the Life

iBall

I wake up with a ball in my hand.

I go to school with a ball in my bag.

I go to all my classes with anxiety.

I have anxiety for the end of the day.

I get the ball back in my hands.

I have it until sundown, or until go to sleep.

I then start all over again.
