Cover Letter

By: Aniya Holmes

There was a time in my life when me and my mother were

inseparable like two of the largest magnets. Wherever she went I
went. For as long as I could remember it was just us two. We
didnt needed nobody else. But as, many months went by I had

noticed her stomach,
it was enormous . She was pregnant, and
because of the pregnancy we couldnt go anywhere. On
December 30th, 2009, my life had changed for the good and for
the bad but mainly for the bad.

My first poem in*sep*a*ra*ble is a definition poem. I chose

to write the form of a definition poem because it shows how close
me any my mother are. My second poem Mom, how much more
do I have to do without you? is an occasional poem. Its an
occasional poem because it describes all the things my mother
use to do but now she cant. My last poem 5 reasons why I
disapprove of having a sister is a list poem. Its a list poem
because I wanted to list all the negative effects of having a sister.
I had written these specific types of poems to relate to my poems
I write. These poems conveys the relationship between the form
and content.

These paragraphs reveal the narrative arc of before the birth

of my little sister and after. It was a little challenging trying to
remember that one emotional/ greatest moments of my life seven
years ago. I think putting that moment in 3 poems helped me to
better understand what happened and how now it contributes to
my life. While, I was writing these paragraphs I was wondering
would if I cant explain my challenges correctly. Would if I dont
express the way I felt before she was born in the first paragraph.
