Example of irony in poetry

• Ironic
• To always want what you don't have...
• When we were little we wished that we could be
  older,to be able to handle things easier and
  more bolder.We wished so much, that when we sat
  on a chair,our feet would touch the ground,
  instead of just hanging in the air.We longed to
  dress up and go out for real,instead of playing
  dress ups wondering how it might feel.We longed
  to be able to swim without help, in the deep
  end,to go out to movies and shopping with our
  best friend.But now that I am older, I wish I
  was a little girl,with cute little dimples and
  my hair in a twirl.I wish I was little, so that
  when I sat on a chair,my tiny feet were hanging
  in the air.I wish I was younger with my only
  problem a broken toy,so little I didn't know the
  pain of loving a boy.For then my soul wouldn't
  have been torn apart,I wish I was a little girl
  for toys are easier to mend then a broken heart.

  it and what it means to them.  Also, they must

  metaphors, similies, etc.

Saturday At The Canal                 

• By Gary Soto- from The Norton Anthology of Modern
  Poetry- 2nd Edition
• I was hoping to be happy by seventeen.School was
  a sharp check mark in the roll book,An obnoxious
  tuba playing at noon because our teamWas going
  to win at night. The teachers wereToo close to
  dying to understand. The hallwaysStank of poor
  grades and unwashed hair. Thus,A friend and I
  sat watching the water on Saturday,Neither of us
  talking much, just warming ourselvesBy hurling
  large rocks at the dusty groundAnd feeling awful
  because San Francisco was a postcardOn a bedroom
  wall. We wanted to go there,Hitchhike under the
  last migrating birdsAnd be with people who knew
  more than three chordsOn a guitar. We didn't
  drink or smoke,But our hair was shoulder length,
  wild whenThe wind picked up and the shadows
  ofThis loneliness gripped loose dirt. By bus or
  car,By the sway of train over a long bridge,We
  wanted to get out. The years frozeAs we sat on
  the bank. Our eyes followed the
  water,White-tipped but dark underneath, racing
  out of town.

  "Friday at Cary" By Bryan Still I was hoping
to be happy by seventeen.School was a roll call,
seven classes, and lunch.Our bands were not
heard playing, For our chances of winning the
game were slim.The teachers were too young and
enthusiastic to understand.The hallways were
rich with good grades and students slow to get to
class.A friend and I were talking by the
computers,Absorbed in the conversation- we were
supposed to be working.I felt confident because
college and scholarships were in my pocket.I
wanted to go there to college,Where new
freedoms awaited, like the breaking of chains.I
wouldnt break their trust, or the law.My hair
was gelled, gently rustling with every
movementYet unaffected by cold, smiting
windsThat bite your face on frosty, winter
days.I wanted to leave high school,To skip
those long, toiling years of work and
preparations.I wanted to get to college, my
adulthood my freedom.
