4-1-11,

I think poetry is very hard to get interested. I think poetry is also not used as much. I also think that it is very hard to understand certain poets. I mostly don't like poetry from books because normally in books, the poets in it are very hard to understand.

6-1-11

its still the same as above.

10-1-11

I think the poem Limbo is quite interesting because it tells you very well how slavery feels like.

Final Thoughts of poetry

I think of poetry is okay now because i can now find more poems which i like.

Snowman in a field listening to the raindrops wishing him farewell. 6-1-11

NoHaiku
I'm sorry to say that I really don't feel like a haiku today.

Excuses,excuses
Late again, Blenkinsop? What's the excuse this time? Not my fault, sir. Whose fault is it then? Grandma's,sir. Grandma's.What did she do? She died,sir. Died? She's seriously dead all right,sir. That makes four grandmothers this term And all on PE days, Blenkinsop. I know. It's very upsetting, sir. How many grandmothers have you got, Blenkinsop? Grandmothers, sir? None, sir. None? All dead, sir. And what about yesterday, Blenkinsop? What about yesterday,sir? You missed math. That was the dentist, sir. The dentist died? No,sir. My teeth, sir. You missed the test, Blenkinsop. I'd been looking forward to it too, sir. Right, line up for PE. Can't, sir. No such word as can't. Why can't you? No kit, sir. Where is it? Home, sir. What's it doing at home? Not ironed,sir. Couldn't you iron it? Can't do it, sir. Why not? My hand,sir. Who usually does it? Grandma, sir. Why couldn't she do it? Dead, sir.

Gareth Owen

I like this poem because it is extremely funny and it made it clear of the meaning of the poem.

Why?
I'm just going out for a moment. Why? To make a cup of tea. Why? Because I'm thristy. Why? Because it's hot. Why? Because the sun's shining. Why? Because it's summer. Why? Because that's when it is. Why? Why don't you stop saying why? Why? Tea-time. That's why. High-time-you-stopped-saying-why-time. What?

Michael Rosen.

My time is now
Chorus: [John Cena] Your time is up, my time is now You can't see me, my time is now It's the franchise, boy I'm shinin now You can't see me, my time is now!

[John Cena] In case you forgot or fell off I'm still hot - knock your shell off My money stack fat plus I can't turn the swell off The franchise, doin big bid'ness, I live this It's automatic I win this - oh you hear those horns, you finished A soldier, and I stay under you fightin Plus I'm stormin on you chumps like I'm thunder and lightning Ain't no way you breakin me kid, I'm harder than nails Plus I keep it on lock, like I'm part of the jail I'm slaughterin stale, competition, I got the whole block wishin they could run with my division but they gone fishin - - with no bait, kid your boy hold weight I got my soul straight, I brush your mouth like Colgate In any weather I'm never better your boy's so hot you'll never catch me in the next man's sweater If they hate, let 'em hate, I drop ya whole clan Lay yo' ass DOWN for the three second TAN

John Cena

I like this rap because it tells you that its your time to shine now.

Fog by Carl Sandburg
The fog comes on little cat feet.

It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.

I chose this poem because i find it quite mysterious and it makes you think really of what does the poem means.

Betrayed
Spoken--a word implicit. A concept--broken. Trust-- A token, dropped In the machine-- Time's up. I have proven over And again, I am Tougher than I seem-- A fool still, hopeful. And you never say You grant me equal credibility Or similar delusions. To believe everything You say--how can I give you what I am not given? But I do-- I would, and I will. And I let you Keep pieces of me Locked, keyed to you Secretly--only I Can no longer Be sure of finding them-- You will tell me, I or you Right or wrong. And this new Revisionist me Wants only to be right And for you to know.

Katherine Foreman.

I like this poem because i like the way they tell the poem which is quite unique

**Escape From The Sad Heart **
By Paul McCann Sad heart please disguise  For I cannot hide  how I feel inside  Tears behind my eyes  My sad hearts capsized  Shipwrecked by the tide.  My thoughts start to slide  Into a sunrise  Its there I escape  Like a bird in flight  There I feel the shape  of ships in the night  On a lost landscape  far away from sight
