My Poetry Project

What is poetry???

Poetry to me is a paragraph of words that means something when it is done being written. Each piece of poetry has a meaning to it in many ways. You got Imagery which shows you a picture of what is happening as you read. You also got Similes which you can use to add creativity to your poem. You also got ryming which you can use to give your poem a sense of being and freeness. Poetry also gives you a place to go when you are mad or whatever youre feeling is. It gives you a place to go and a place to be relaxed. Poetry Is almost like a religion of peace but although most are about peace sand harmony some are about war and violence and should not be read by little kids. I thnk poetry can be of all genres but I like most poetry that is good.


I liked most of the pictures but I picked the "persistence of memory" by Salvator Dali. I am now going to write a poem about it.

THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY

Once known as the valley of the clocks

Each clock had its own purpose in life

After time passed by...

The clocks started to drop out of the dimension that they were held in

Day after day after day The clocks kept falling, at the sight Of people forgetting what they had to do in life

Each ticking clock would slow down more and more until its tiny hands stopped

responding to the thoughts of people...

It then would show its untimely death and fall out of the sky

Each clock is a persons life

and what he/she is destined to be

is held in those clocks gears...

Once a mistake in that persons life is made the clock gets slower and slower

as the gears deteriorate as soon as there is no purpose in destiny for that person the clock dies and the world feels its loss and... pain

The clocks that fall are still alive in someways... but as for a purpose

serve no more

though they fall and all inside is hollow and the hands stop moving it still

has life but can not move to feel what life is really about.. only an empty

life remains in the shell of what used to be memory...

As people forget what they need to do a world that is called " imagination"

fails and starts to die. Every person on this earth has a clock in that

dimension and either way you look at it that world still hangs on by a

thread which is the people who are true to their hearts in doing what they want to do.

and there fore have a purpose in life.


My newspaper article

"W plan leaves N.Y. in dark",The Daily News, May 17,2001

This article is about how president bushs' proposed federal power drilling and other power refiefs schemes dont really have anything to do witht the power problem thatb N.Y. is going to have this summer. In st. Paul minnesota, bush says that he will take out 10 million tax credits to make this happen.

They say how the feds are focusing on california instead of all the places that are going to be in power trouble (including NY). Evan though the city is trying to make 10 small plants to not have blackouts... the problem is till up in the air on how we will deal with it in later months or years.

How bush is going to do this plan is get it approved then build nuclear, hydroelectric, and drill federal land to get power as well as build the plants explained above. He is focusing on california instead of all the other states that will be in trouble.

N.Y. officials are angry because they understand that california does have trouble but N.Y. has trouble too and he should pay attention to all troubles in the world. They think that he should help them also because they arent in as much need as california is now. They know that N.Y will have trouble but will try its best to get through the summer and try to get the small 10 hydrogas plants up in time to satisfy the people that will need the power.


The Power Problem

Even though we know you are there

You don't seem to be showing up

You have a lot to spare...

But dont seem to be sparing it.

If You learned to listen and look

You would find the problems that lurk

But it takes time to find them

even though you seem to care for places that need the help more

still find time to help those who are in moderate need.

as they say...

"A stitch in time saves nine"

That applies to what is happening now

a problem in two places that needs to be solved but only one at a time can be

the only problem being that

they are as dumb as a doorstep because

if they dont figure out how to fix the problem in both places

the city will fall apart

the power is scarce but

we need to learn that

sharing is the best thing to do and not to

share with only one place and not to be greedy

even though there are places more desperate than one place

they should divide the power into all places and let everyone be happy instead

of being greedy and giving it to one place.


A car

The sleek look of your curves and bends

Makes me smile

I like the colors of your exterior and interior

for they glisten like the sun

hard and clean

sometimes dusty

you always feel like a babys bottom to me

although you look solid as a wall and

move with the agility of a bicycle

Your sporty lixurious look always seems to get me

into your seats that feel as soft as pillows

Although your cost isnt much it looks like you can be a million dollars

You look like a curvy road with all your curves

and like going on a forest hike when you

go on the advetures you like to go on and is built for

although you have no soul

you damn well look like you have one

the look that gives you your reputation

the styles that lets you race

you are

a

Monte carlo


My House

You are shiny like the clear sky

your colors make me feel like the sun

the warmpth i get when i am in you

the feelings that are left in you everyday

all contribute to one thing

That you are the soul of a person

you tear when it rains

get cold when it snows

get hot in the summer

cool in the fall

You show all emotions of human life

except that you cant stand and walk your own way

you just stay and play

and have fun everyday

you have your bad times

your sad times

sometimes pieces fall off of you

but like us you heal

sometimes your life is taken away

which we cannot revive

you are the only thing close to us

that can live with a little bit of invincibility

although we cant live witb that

we are as precious as you

we can fall apart and not be put together again

as can you

but we do sympathize that you have to deal everyday with everything around you

where we can just go and walk away from it

you are like us in many ways but

being a house a structure that is built by us

you will never be human.


10 Questions that no one can answer

1. Why does a 24 hour 7 day a week store have locks on the front door?

2. Why cant people breathe in space?

Why does severe weather only affect one part of the United states?

3.Why do people always do something bad in their life at least once?

4.Do people actually resemble monkeys?

5.Why do people die?

6.Do people reincarnate?

7.when will the world end?

8. Are people ever going to explore deep,deep space?

9.Will people ever get to find the fountain of youth?

10.Are we really alive or being controlled by someone else or watching a vision?


The Undescribable Question

No one knows why

A person has a store

that is open 24 hours a day

7 days a week

and can have locks

on the front door

a lot of people call it crazy

some people say that they have

the answer to all the questions in the world

but some cant be answered

This one really bothers the mind

of how a store that is open

24/7

can have locks on the front door

Some people say it is because

if the person has a emergency

they can leave

but wouldnt that be false advertisement

24/7

for a store to be open?

Maybe there should be someone else to watch the store in that time of need

then the slogan would live up to its word

Some people say that it is because if the person sells the store

then the doors will need the lock to be closed

but why dont the people with the store of 24 hours a day

7 days a week just put

locks on the front door after he decideds to sell the store

and leave the locks off if he decideds to keep it

So maybe the answer isnt that they need them there for false judgement

Maybe it is just because they need it to sell the building or

no store that is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week

can keep their slogan true to heart
