no one will ever teach what you taught me
and no one will ever love the way you loved me
i will never love another

Activty C Free Write

College. There is so much to do to prepare. So much yet to be done. I don't know where I want to go yet. I don't know if I am making the right choices. Its just so hard. I don't know what to do. I Don't know if my grades will get me in. I don't know if I will get in to my number one school. I just want it to be over. I just want to be done with it. I want to have the best essay and the best letters. I want the schools to see what I am and what I can really do.

Activity B Making A Poem

For her part,
Diana Spencer’s life was also normal
and ordinary.

On the eve of her wedding
she learned of the bracelet

with intertwined initials
Charles was about to give his lover.

Diana told her sisters
she couldn’t marry him.

“Too late, Duch,” they counseled,
“your face is on the tea towels.”

It was a shock,
but no surprise to Diana,

when Camilla’s picture fluttered
out of Charles’ diary on the honeymoon

Activity A Seperating the Poem

Is there a tune
more happy
than a daughter’s windchime laugh?

A silence
more crushing
than her rolling tear?

Is there a breeze
more cooling
than a son’s slumbered sigh?

A thought
more awesome
than the question that he asks?

And is there a truer joy
when I am the clown?

Shame when I accuse and rage?
Peace when I pull up the sheet?
Pride when I strike the flint?

I made these kids and I make these kids. And they make me.

Narrative Emoition Poem

The Cloud

this cloud was ugly
this cloud was very skinny
but this cloud was also very angry
it had a group of other cloud friends
they were bigger than him
darker than him
these clouds were not white
they were not cute
they were not in the shapes of animals
these clouds were a gang
this cloud turned my day around
i was at the park
then i left the park because the clouds were roaring
they were yelling at me
they were angry
i did not like these clouds

Anapestic Poem

The Cloud

I am the daughter of Earth and Water,
And the nursling of the sky;
I pass through the pores of the oceans and shores;
I change, but I cannot die.
For after the rain when with never a stain
The pavillion of Heaven in bare,
And the winds and the sunbeams with their convex gleams
Build up the blue dome of air,
I silently laugh at my own cenotaph,
And out of the caverns of rain,
Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb,
I arise and unbuild it again.

Trochaic Poems Adrift Summer Lunber

Daylight dims, preparing minds to lay hush
during talbeus under lunar spotlight
Canvas tells of tragedy through a brush
gripped by vagrant fingers filled with frostbite

Eyelids serving as view points for foreseight
drift from shallow senses to deeper thoughts.
Tinted shadows will froth forth in twilight
fog and bloom the blankets at fifty knots.

Numb sensations wash the deck off a yacht
soaked upon the salivating ocean,
thus the dreams of peaceful retirement caught
gulping down in sudden weightless motion.

Razor white-caps floss with remnants of hull;
waves of slumber clash inside the old skull.

Blog about Blogging

I do not like to blog. I think its kind of a waste of time and I'd rather read facts about people than read their opinions. My public speaking class makes us blog too and it gets annoying. I suppose I don't mind it every once in a while but its just gets old after a while.
