    If Tomorrow Never Comes If I knew it would be the last time that I’d see you fall asleep‚ I would tuck you in more tightly‚ and pray the Lord your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I’d see you walk out the door‚ I would give you a hug and kiss‚ and call you back for just one more. If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise‚ I would tape each word and action‚ and play them back throughout my days If I knew it would be the last

    A Tribute to My Town When I remember the days  that saw my early childhood  spent on the green shores  of a murmurous lagoon;  when I remember the coolness‚  delicious and refreshing‚  that on my face I felt  as I heard Favonius croon;  when I behold the white lily  swell to the wind’s impulsion‚  and that tempestuous element  meekly asleep on the sand;  when I inhale the dear  intoxicating essence  the flowers exude when dawn  is smiling on the land;  sadly‚ sadly I recall

    Among Elk Up before dawn‚ a feeling has drawn You into the mountain and trees. Till the silence within‚ upon the whispering wind A chime of bugles tease the breeze. That majestic call‚ that is heard each fall Since before our forefathers birth And for those who take time‚ through rim rocks and pine Listen and value their worth. Each note high and low as each bugle ballad goes‚ No two ever the same They are all unique and if a chance to critique Upon our hearts they claim. We are

    “The Black Finger” Angelina Grimke’s poem‚ “The Black Finger” is one of the shortest poems that we have read this year. As far as I’m concerned‚ it is also one of the most intriguing poems that we have read this year. I have read the poem at least thirty or forty times trying to pick up on new things that I may have missed before. In all of my readings I haven’t necessarily picked up on any new words or phrases that lead me to believe new things. I have‚ however‚ formed new visions of

    • 2 Pages

    The following poems set a great example of imagery. The poet’s use of imagery adds to the meaning of each poem. Imagery describes a poem’s true meaning with the five senses. The images of blackberries help me understand the poet’s ideas within the words because of its vivid details. The visual images in line two have a clear picture of blackberry bushes filled with berries. Each adjective is like berry after berry‚ selected‚ plucked and popped into your mouth. The repetition of "black blackberries"

    think at first it would involve some sort of worker or child in South America that works by handling Oranges in some sort of way. In my own words and thought‚ I would summarize the poem about a boy nervous about his first time with a girl. So they walk to a drugstore so he can’t treat her with something from there. The boy is very poor so he knows that the nickel may not be enough. So when she took a piece of chocolate that was more than a nickel. He gave the saleslady a nickel and an orange. While

    Comparison of Two Poems Why is it that people write poems? Sometimes‚ it seems that authors write poems to confuse or to mislead. As most would know‚ poems aren’t actually written for that purpose. They are written to amuse and enlighten in a critical thinking way. Poems are like secret passages with deep meanings within the lines and rhythms; after being pulled apart and analyzed‚ they can leave your mind blown. I will be comparing “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke with another poem titled “Those
