Fakepoets Recap

Marianne Moore’s tweet about the ostrich’s enemies showed that animals can have some of the same qualities as humans (protecting their young, fearing predators) but also showing courage and survival while facing adversity (man, other predators).

The tweet by Angelica P about the Sandpiper shows that even though the sandpiper is busily search for grain while dodging the water and ignoring the roar of the ocean, the detail in the poem makes you feel like you are at the ocean.

The tweet about the Snake poem was relevant because it shows that just because something is “different” doesn’t mean it will do you harm.  Just the same as people are, don’t be afraid of what you don’t know.
