Shadow Why am I not asked for Everywhere I go They ask where’s your…… Don’t ask me Why don’t you ask THEM Why am I not asked for They ask how old is…… Why don’t you do the math Why am I not asked for Don’t you see it hurts To think bout her
My favorite poem is the one we seen in class together when we first started in the poetry unit with the guy who had on the Martin Luther King shirt on. I like his poem because it was speaking the truth and about our society and the way we do things
My favorite poem is Life Is Fine by Langston Hughes . I went down to the river, I set down on the bank. I tried to think but couldn't, So I jumped in and sank.
I came up once and hollered! I came up twice and cried! If that water hadn't a-been so cold I might've sunk and died.
But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!
I took the elevator Sixteen floors above the ground. I thought about my baby And thought I would jump down.
I stood there and I hollered! I stood there and I cried! If it hadn't a-been so high I might've jumped and died.
But it was High up there! It was high!
So since I'm still here livin', I guess I will live on. I could've died for love-- But for livin' I was born
Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry-- I'll be dogged, sweet baby, If you gonna see me die.
Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!
i choose this poem because it stood out to me the most out of all of his poems that i've read . I choose this Poet because hes my favorite poet and he speaks only the truth.
To trust someone means you trust them with your life To trust someone is based on your clarity of judgement To trust is to believe that the person has you 100 % To trust To trust Who could you trust in your greatest moment in need? Who will be worthy of having your trust? Will you be able to confide your trust among certain people?
I like this poem becuase people should be able to trust in one another.It takes a while to earn trust for an second chance .

Acquaintances are many but friends are very rare For with a true and trusting friend your secrets you can share Your friend will comfort you and advise you and you will not betray Your friend will never disown you and as your friend will stay When others do not wish to know you your friend as your friend remain And feel lucky in your lifetime if one loyal friend you gain Your friend will always stand by you no matter come what may And when you ask your friend for help your friend will not turn you away No your friend will stand by you when you are feeling down When others shun you as if you were an outcast of the town Acquaintances like Nature's Seasons they come to your life and go But your friend a friend for lifetime and the bond of friendship grow And the one who betrays your trust could never be your friend Your friend to you is ever true and one on whom you can depend.
I slept in you bed today It was warm and cozy Now I know you told me not to But I had to I wish you would forgive me For I have disrespected your simple request

ReplyDeleteWhy am I not asked for
Everywhere I go
They ask where’s your……
Don’t ask me
Why don’t you ask THEM
Why am I not asked for
They ask how old is……
Why don’t you do the math
Why am I not asked for
Don’t you see it hurts
To think bout her

ReplyDeleteI woke up this morning
ReplyDeleteTears running down my face
I don’t know why
Why am I in this place?
Look, there’s a door
It takes me straight to hell
I can’t do this anymore
God just ring my death bell
Its raining outside
What has happened?
I know when it rains
Something bad has happened
What have I done?
I know it wasn’t right
I feel horrible
Will I live through the night?
There is nothing I can do
All has been said
Now I just sit here and wait
Waiting for the end
Everyone says it’s not my fault
But I know the truth
All I know is
I’m sorry for what I have done to you
I hate being this wedge
Between the two of you
Like I previously said
I don’t know what to do
So just say goodbye
I know it’s for the best
Forget our memories
But leave in the rest
Maybe one day
We can be friends
But for now
It’s best to bring this to an end

A Psalm of Life
ReplyDeleteby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream! ?
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act,--act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
A candle within me
ReplyDeleteA small flame burning,
Fueled by your eyes, your laughter, your astonishing smile.
A yearning within me
An aching longing,
Deepened by your joy, your charm, your ephemeral grace.
A love within me
A passion everlasting,
You dance among the stars, and in my fevered heart.

ReplyDeleteYOUR FRIEND A FRIEND FOR LIFETIME
ReplyDeleteAcquaintances are many but friends are very rare
For with a true and trusting friend your secrets you can share
Your friend will comfort you and advise you and you will not betray
Your friend will never disown you and as your friend will stay
When others do not wish to know you your friend as your friend remain
And feel lucky in your lifetime if one loyal friend you gain
Your friend will always stand by you no matter come what may
And when you ask your friend for help your friend will not turn you away
No your friend will stand by you when you are feeling down
When others shun you as if you were an outcast of the town
Acquaintances like Nature's Seasons they come to your life and go
But your friend a friend for lifetime and the bond of friendship grow
And the one who betrays your trust could never be your friend
Your friend to you is ever true and one on whom you can depend.
