Easter Wings by George Herbert
Lord, who createdst man in wealth and store, Though foolishly he lost the same, Decaying more and more, Till he became Most poore: With thee Oh let me rise As larks, harmoniously, And sing this day thy victories:
Then shall the fall further the flight in me.

My tender age in sorrow did beginne : And still with sicknesses and shame Thou didst so punish sinne, That I became Most thinne. With thee Let me combine And feel this day thy victorie: For, if I imp my wing on thine
Affliction shall advance the flight in me.

The little girl of Hiroshima

By Nazim Hikmet

I come and stand at every door...
But none can hear my silent tread...
I knocked, and yet remain unseen...
For I am dead, for I am dead.

I 'm only seven though I died
In Hiroshima long ago.
I 'm seven now as I was then
When children die they do not grow.

My hair was scorched by swirling flames
My eyes grew dim, grew dim and blind.
Death came and turn my bone to dust
And that was scattered by the wind.

I need no fruit, I need no rice
I need no sweets or even bread.
I asked for nothing for my self
For I am dead, for I am dead.

All that I asked is that for peace
You fight today, you fight today.
So that the children of the world
May live and grow and laugh and play.

    Most people expect that all poetry should be close to the same thing if we were to have the same theme, but in fact, although there are many similarities, there can also be many differences too. Upon comparison of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S Eliot and Afternoons and Coffee Spoons by Crash Test Dummies we see just this. These two poems share similarities in theme, and reference to time but do not have similar tones.…

    The works we studied within Creative Writing were all helpful in creating my own works to submit to the class. Throughout all of the reading, many of the works inspired me in different ways, whether it was short story plot ideas or word usage in the poems. While crafting my work for the final portfolio, I reviewed many of the poems from our poetry packet in an effort to find inspiration and to create new interesting images. I took the most inspiration for my formal poem, which I found most difficult to write. One of the poems that was most useful to me was Jilly Dybka’s “Memphis, 1976.” Dybka’s poem follows the sestina form; I also wrote my last poem in this form, so it helped to follow the form by looking at her poem as an example. Dybka’s…

    George Frideric Handel was born on February 23, 1685, in Halle, Saxony, Germony to Georg and Dorothea Handel. Even as a small child Handel was very interested in learning music, but his father who was a barber-surgeon, was against his son playing music. At the age of seven Handel was given the chance to play in front of the duke's court in Weissenfels. Another composer by the name of Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow noticed Handel and was very impressed with his performance. Zachow decided to take Handel as his apprentice, and began to teach Handel to compose for instruments like the organ, the obeo and the violin. Since the age of 11 and all throughout his teens, Handel composed many church cantatas and chamber music for small audiences. Once Handel was 18 years old, he decided to fully pursue music and took a violinist's posistion at the Hamburg Opera's Goosemarket Theater.…
