Poetry Reflection

   

      Poetry honestly plays a huge part in my life and this is because Poetry can help explain feelings that words cannot. I believe this because sometimes in life you might run into a big situation and sometimes what helps is writing down how you feel. For me this is what I do, I write poetry when I am felling down and it helps me a lot. Poetry will honestly always have a special place in my heart because it will always be there when no one will be. Sometimes I wonder if my feeling for poetry is strange but honestly it isn't because poetry is on of my main escapes. Some people escapes may be sports or painting but mine is poetry.

          I think that poetry relates to everyone because poetry is very diverse meaning that there are a whole bunch of different types and some with different subjects. Poetry is like America, very diverse in so many ways. I think that if people were to look at poetry then they would maybe find one that they would enjoy because everyone can connect to almost everything as long as they put their mind into it. I think this because from my personal experiences I was not at all athletic in sports but I found a sport that I enjoy to play and that is Volleyball. What I am trying to say with this is that for a person who is not very athletic they can still be able to find something that they enjoy about that. In conclusion I believe that everyone can connect to poetry.  

          The life and experiences affect the poets writing because just like Edgar Allen Poe he had a rough childhood and that affected his writing because his writing was very depressing and scary. I think that not only his writing was affected but like I said above on paragraph one that sometimes it is really easy to let your emotions slip out onto your writing or paper. Most of my poems are dark because I was really inspired by Edgar Allen Poe on his writing and I like making writing that is dramatic. In conclusion I believe that every writer is affect by their past.

"The magic in the forest"

Found Poem

Two weeks earlier expecting to change her mind waved good-bye out of sight

she saw the open envelope. "Old friend, I'm getting scared. Were going to get kicked out of this house, sure you left. I'm ashamed my darling. Mother pretends she doesn't know, but she does."

          This poem is about how a girl is alone and now is receiving a letter from an old friend who is in need for desperate help. The design is supposed to look crazy and messy, almost like her life considering that everyone in her life has walked out on her. (The reason why I wrote the poem out was because it is hard to see it through a photo and it is easier to comprehend in person.) The girl is alone and is lost in her own thoughts that seem to be consuming her every second. When I was making this poem I tried making a poem that was dark and a bit scary and I hope I have achieved that.

"The girl who could fly between shades of gray into the wild beautiful creatures crossed."

          This poem is suppose to show peacefulness and the girl who is flying is finding peace in the woods discovering new things never seen before. I made this to show people that there is always peacefulness no matter what and that one day something positive may come out of something negative. "beautiful creatures crossed" means that creatures are coming together making something positive. This helps explain why it says "beautiful creature". When stuff comes together to make one it is sometimes beautiful and in this case it is.

3rd Quarter Blog Reflective

          This quarter has been a very crazy one because we've had a ton of testing and on that homework and extra circular activities! Out of the books that I have read this quarter my favorite book that I have read would have to be the book "Schooled. I think this because throughout the book you see different perspectives from different people. I think the area in lit/la that I had a huge improvement was with my choice of diction. I think this because for example instead of using words like confused I now use words like discombobulated or befuddled. Something that I have accomplished this new year was finally having a huge role in the musical called "Bugsy Malone". Now in the musical I do not have a lot of dialogue but I do have my own solo song and in that song I need to pronounce the word very loud and dramatic.

          In the 40 book challenge I am pretty far I believe I am at 23 books and counting. To meet the 40 book requirement I will start reading two books at a time. The most challenging part of the 3rd quarter was probably managing a bunch of clubs with schoolwork. I think this because I was booked solid with extra circular activities and on top of that I had to manage doing homework which was very difficult but manageable. I think that my blogs are definitely improving because of the length of my writing and the choice of diction is good.

          Some strategies that have been beneficial to me is studying on quizlet. This quarter was really crazy and I ended up studying everything on quizlet because it is really good and easy to use. In the world I have learned that sometimes people aren't the nicest and that sometimes that may need a hand and we need to offer them that hand. My research skills have improved a lot from researching background knowledge for our AOW'S that we receive mostly every week. I think that this quarter will definitely be one to remember and I look forward for more quarters that come our way.

No one ever accepted me and I was left with a decision. Should I stay or should I leave. I was always alone and always put to the side. My mother had left me and my father had passed, and I was left alone with no one. I wish people would know how I feel but every-time that I try to speak up I get silenced. “Tick tock” it was now 12 o'clock and I was up staring at myself in the mirror. Why me? Why did I have to be left alone in this world with no sense of guidance or hope.

I always wanted a child hood like my “friends”. They would always went on family trips and had family dinners and I was left alone watching from the windowpane wishing that was me and my family dining. I have always been bewildered about how my father had died. Sometimes I wish my mother would talk to me but she had left me alone in a house abandoned by the age of 6. I had to raise myself ever since, and since then I’ve been asking myself should I stay or leave?

“Tick tock” it is now 3 am and I am still thinking and wondering where my life is headed. I think I should leave because maybe then I’ll be able to restart my life and start fresh on a new page. It wasn’t until I had left I then saw a note on on the porch. I read it and it said “Dear Jacob, I miss you and I want you to know that I am sorry.” I then stood up and took a breath of relief and walked out and that was the end.

"The Lost" written by Justin Ramirez

I'm lost and forgotten

Waiting for my chance to finally shine and outwit all this evil that surround me

Can you help me and try to forgive me?

After all the harm I've done can you please learn to forgive me and accept me for who I am?

Me and my friend walk among you, waiting to find you and try and love you again.

I miss you, but do you miss me?

Or am I just forgotten and lost.

I miss you...

But now I am gone.

And wait for you to join me

With the lost.
