I am Poem

I am strong and caring
I wonder why I hurt others not on purpose
I hear the Barn’s crackling fire
I see the rabbits
I want to pet those rabbits
I am strong and caring

I pretend I’m already at the Barn
I feel grief
I touch the velvet that I once owned.
I worry of doing bad things
I cry for I had kill the puppy
I am strong and caring

I understand I killed Curly’s wife
I say one day we’ll seek our Barn
I dream of the Barn me and George we’ll one day own
I try not to do bad things
I hope to pet the rabbits someday
I am strong and

    We walk silently on the beach, I stare at my feet to make sure I don't step on anything or anyone. The last thing I want is to be the bearer of death. I steer my way around and feel the broken shells beneath my feet, I remember when I was little and the smashed shells would make my feet ache and turn them red, they still hurt but my feet grow stronger as I grow older. I am not who I used to…

    The phrase “Blessed Be” or BB for short is the phrase used to invoke the blessing of the god or goddess or a deity. It originated with Gerald Gardner’s “Five-Fold Kiss”, which he used as an Initiation Rite. The phrase “Blessed Be” is sacred and should be used with respect and in appropriate ways. It is meant as an actual invocation of the deity’s blessing so it is a much deeper blessing than a general blessing such as “be blessed” or something similar.…

    My Life Has Been the Poem instills a valuable lesson about living life, through understated language and a simple delivery. In the words "could not both live and utter it” Henry David Thoreau advises a go with the flow approach to life. He means that while it may seem like a wonderful fantasy, controlling events in your life, it is too complicated. By trying to dictate these events, you wouldn't have time to live a fulfilling life. In 1941, Henry David Thoreau moved into the Emerson house and for the following three years he served as a tutor to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s children.…

    INTRODUCTION The world’s many dystopian debacles including, poverty, war and capitalism are commonly disputed though the effective manipulation of protest songs. Cambridge Dictionary defines protest song as a song that expresses disapproval, typically regarding politics. Song-writers have manipulated stylised literacy conventions since the 1960s to empower mass populations, return voice to those who have been marginalised, influence people’s cultural perspectives and widen social ideologies. The songs “White Fella Black Fella” (1985) by Warumpi Band and “I Am Austrlian” (1987) by The Seekers both contain the literacy techniques of: meaning, imagery, language, tone, and style which have been effectively mastered to clearly convey their parallel protest messages.…

    Literature Paper Poetry can be very complex and even though it can vary and use different techniques to get the point across it may come to the same conclusion and meaning, and can also be interpreted differently. Poetry is meant to be understood in the reader's own way. Why I Hate Raisins, Hand-Me-Down Halloween, and My Brother at 3AM are about the struggles of living in the reservation, but use different style, syntax and tone. Why I Hate Raisins is a poem about the struggles of not having enough food or not being able to afford food other than what they received. It is written in subtly and sounds simple, so the true meaning behind the poem is not really understood until the end, and has a deeper meaning.…

    The Raven is Grief “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe enforces deep sadness and grief upon the reader through literacy context that somehow persuades one’s feelings to agree with the character’s own. From the beginning of the poem, the mood is set instantly to start this unoptimistic tale. Grief, despair, sadness, depression, all of these emotional touches begin to impact the main character. The poem references the raven which casts a shadow over a majority of the story, symbolizing the emotions and realizations of the character. Although the raven is seemingly an actual creature, it is actually a metaphor to represent the character’s grief throughout the poem.…
