O ne of the poems i like by Wanda Phipps is The __Morning poem #39__ her writing style is Kind of Flows Probably off the way that she feels.

 I f she took off her top would that embarrass you  would you smile and laugh newvously  would there be  room on the roof  for the orgy  if the music was a little louder  would you remember  the color of her eyes

( I like this Poem because it's romantic and i like romance, it also tells a lot just in a little words. )

Wanda doesn't really use a lot of rhyme in her poems just tells a story. The poems that she tell sounds like situations she has been in. Her poems will adapt more to older people other then children because she doesn't have much of a rhyme scheme involved. )

NARRATOR - a narrator is a person who tells the story from their point of view. FIGURES OF SPEECH - a figure of speech is using different comparisons to compare things in writings or saying something that they don't actually mean literally.
