In this assignment, we were asked to write a poem based on a poem called dear matafele peinem by Kathy Jetnil Kijiner.
I wrote to a baby polar bear about all the things that could happen to them
When other people read my poem, I hope that they realize all the damage that they are doing to the earth

Hi Luka! I just wanted to say that i LOVED your poem. It was very playful and cute, while also talking about a serious topic. I think that the fact that you start it out with “Dear baby polar bear” is very powerful and immediately has a sense of sympathy to your poem. I think that more people need to read this honestly because it is so good. It addresses the serious topic of climate change and global warming, which people need to start doing something about. I also really liked your ending line, “We will protect you.” I thought it was a very powerful ending and leaves people with a bit of hope. In your poem, you mention “The Student Climate Action Board.” That sounds really interesting and I would love to see more about it, and maybe I could make one at my school and we could start making a change. I think this poem is very precious and valuable and I think you executed it very nicely. I can’t wait to see what you write next because you are a great writer!

Hello Luka,
I loved you poem. it has some very good shifts and a very deep meaning. I found a link to a source that talks about poem structures. I thought this might be useful for you since you already write very good poems. https://www.aresearchguide.com/poetry-structure.html

I like your poem because it talks about a baby polar bear. I think that baby bears are so adorable.

Dear Luka ,

I really enjoyed reading your poem “Dear Baby Polar Bear” because you conveyed your thoughts in a playful yet empathetic way. You ended your poem with a message that shows how you are willing to advocate for the damages that climate change causes. That stresses that you are concerned about our planet.
One couplet that stood out for me is “No other beautiful landscapes will be destroyed At least not any more” because it shows your concern and it coveys your enthusiasm toward protecting our planet. I am looking forward to read more of your work.

Hello Luka,
I love your poem. It’s so cute and it’s also talking about the environmental issue. I wish they will all be safe.
