My love, my loveSent from God above

You fill my life,Come be my wife

With a small fart, a minor stridein relieving pressure, built up insidethinking of her dog, how rude,the lady tried bribing it with food"Come here, Fifi, return to my side."

I'm glad we had a chance, to say goodbyeI shed so many tears and you changed my lifeCalifornia Love baby ride or dieI can hear you, right now, Pac yelling West SideAnd West it is, we got the world going dumbWe gone make 'em understand Pac where we coming fromDon't you worry homie, rest in peaceWe appreciate your love, let your soul run free

(m.c. Hammer)

IfIf you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you;If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,But make allowance for their doubting too:…Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy EveningWhose woods these are I think I know.His house is in the village, though;He will not see me stopping hereTo watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queerTo stop without a farmhouse nearBetween the woods and frozen lakeThe darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake(As if) to ask if there is some mistake.The only other sound's the sweepOf easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.

(Poem #975) Those Winter Sundays

Sundays too my father got up early And put his clothes on in the blue back cold,

then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made

banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.

I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking. When the rooms were warm, he'd call, and slowly I would rise and dress,

fearing the chronic angers of that house,

Speaking indifferently to him, who had driven out the cold

and polished my good shoes as well. What did I know, what did I know

of love's austere and lonely offices (responsibilities) ?

Still I Rise by M. Angelou

You may write me down in historyWith your bitter, twisted lies,You may trod me in the very dirtBut still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?Why are you beset with gloom?'Cause I walk like I've got oil wellsPumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,With the certainty of tides,Just like hopes springing high,Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?Bowed head and lowered eyes?Shoulders falling down like teardrops.Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?Don't you take it awful hard'Cause I laugh like I've got gold minesDiggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,You may cut me with your eyes,You may kill me with your hatefulness,But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?Does it come as a surpriseThat I dance like I've got diamondsAt the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shameI riseUp from a past that's rooted in painI riseI'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.Leaving behind nights of terror and fearI riseInto a daybreak that's wondrously clearI riseBringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,I am the dream and the hope of the slave.I riseI riseI rise.

El Paso

Out in the West Texas town of El PasoI fell in love with a Mexican girl.Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina;Music would play and Felina would whirl.

Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina,Wicked and evil while casting a spell.My love was deep for this Mexican maiden;I was in love but in vain, I could tell.

One night a wild young cowboy came in,Wild as the West Texas wind.Dashing and daring,A drink he was sharingWith wicked Felina,The girl that I loved.

So in anger I

Challenged his right for the love of this maiden.Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat;The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.

Just for a moment I stood there in silence,Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done.Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there;I had but one chance and that was to run.

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran,Out where the horses were tied.I caught a good one.It looked like it could run.Up on its backAnd away I did ride,

Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El PasoOut to the bad-lands of New Mexico. Back in El Paso my life would be worthless.Everything's gone in life; nothing is left. I

It's been so long since I've seen the young maidenMy love is stronger than my fear of death.

I saddled up and away I did go,Riding alone in the dark.Maybe tomorrowA bullet may find me.Tonight nothing's worse than thisPain in my heart.

And at last here I

Am on the hill overlooking El Paso;I can see Rosa's cantina below.My love is strong and it pushes me onward.Down off the hill to Felina I go.

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys;Off to my left ride a dozen or more.Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me.I have to make it to Rosa's back door.

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feelA deep burning pain in my side.Though I am tryingTo stay in the saddle,I'm getting weary,Unable to ride.

But my love for

Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen,Though I am weary I can't stop to rest.I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle.I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.

From out of nowhere Felina has found me,Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,One little kiss and Felina, good-bye.

"Ah, are you digging on my grave,My loved one? -- planting rue?"-- "No: yesterday he went to wedOne of the brightest wealth has bred.'It cannot hurt her now,' he said,'That I should not be true.'"

"Then who is digging on my grave,My nearest dearest kin?"-- "Ah, no: they sit and think, 'What use!What good will planting flowers produce?No tendance of her mound can looseHer spirit from Death's gin.'"

"But someone digs upon my grave?My enemy? -- prodding sly?"-- "Nay: when she heard you had passed the GateThat shuts on all flesh soon or late,She thought you no more worth her hate,And cares not where you lie.

"Then, who is digging on my grave?Say -- since I have not guessed!"-- "O it is I, my mistress dear,Your little dog , who still lives near,And much I hope my movements hereHave not disturbed your rest?"

"Ah yes! You dig upon my grave...Why flashed it not to meThat one true heart was left behind!What feeling do we ever findTo equal among human kindA dog's fidelity!"

"Mistress, I dug upon your graveTo bury a bone, in caseI should be hungry near this spotWhen passing on my daily trot.I am sorry, but I quite forgotIt was your resting place."

Are You Digging OnMy Grave?

Thomas Hardy

TRANSLATIONDo you miss me?My fiancé of several years, regretting my death?Nope. Yesterday he got marriedTo a rich chick, thinking no big deal to cheat on your memory

Then who is missing me, trying to dig me up?Is it my family?Nope. Their opinion: she’s gone; let’s move on. No need to go to her grave; it is just dirt, visiting her won’t bring her back

But someone misses me, surely?I know…my enemy, plotting against me!Nope. When she had heard you had died, she wasted no more energy on thoughts of you and could care less where you are buried.

Then tell me, whom do I hear digging on my grave? – I cannot guess!

-- "O it is I, my mistress dear,Your little dog , who still lives near,And much I hope my movements hereHave not disturbed your rest?"

"Ah yes! You dig upon my grave...Why flashed it not to meThat one true heart was left behind!What feeling do we ever findTo equal among human kindA dog's fidelity!"

"Mistress, I dug upon your graveTo bury a bone, in caseI should be hungry near this spotWhen passing on my daily trot.I am sorry, but I quite forgotIt was your resting place."

Worker’s _______ to Labor Day 2011by Donna Smith Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up. Do it again.

Work. Be grateful to be working. Work harder. Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up. Do it again.

Give up time with growing children. Work. Keep bills paid. Years pass. Chances pass.Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up. Do it again.

Get older. Get scared to work less hard. Work harder.No time for neighbors, community, friends, or the laziness of leisure. No riches. No home left.Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up. Do it again.

No savings. No pension. All spent staying barely healthy enough to work harder.Holidays a time for silent desperation. Alone. Or maybe go to sales at the stores where workers are working ‘till they drop, reminders of just another working day in America.No job. Lost. Shame. Bills never stopping. Work somewhere, work anywhere, do anything. Stay alive.Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up. Do it again.

Rich people and bosses have no guilt about holidays, no fear in a nap.Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up, get up, get up, get up. Do it again.

Pay your taxes. Pay your bills. Pay their taxes. Pay their bills. You’ve lost everything that you valued anyway. Loser. Loner. Lazy. That’s how the power class sees us all. We are tools of their American dream and the fools who lost their own. They are smarter than we. Whoopee.Labor Day? Why are you not working? No job? Lost it? A day off? Why are you not working? At least go buy something that will swell the profits and power of those who find us all so pliable, so pitiful, so workable. Listen for the call. It may be the need for profits calling. If so, get up. Now.Work ‘till you drop. Stop. Drop. Get up. Do it again.

Then stop.

When you finally expire – literally and figuratively. Unless the wealthy and the powerful figure out a way to prolong our lives a little longer to make a few more dollars as they inject us with pain killers and tranquilizers so we cannot even scream on the way out of their profit-making agendas.Labor Day? That’s all day, every day, in every way. America has no holidays. And certainly not for workers or those who wish they were. We are someone else’s holidays.

May Swenson’s “Southbound on the Freeway” is a poem that is frivolous on the outside and serious on the inside. Its whimsical premise of a naïve alien from “Orbitville” parking his spacecraft in the air above an American freeway is deceptively simple. But the humorous aspect should not obscure the underlying theme of human intelligence and human control pitted against the machines mankind has created. Here, she scrutinizes humanity…

…through the eyes of an inhuman being. This allows for a more objective—albeit, funny and skewed—look at one of the most poignant questions to arise from the age of technology: are humans still in control or are we just trying to hang on for the ride?

A tourist came in from Orbitville, parked in the air, and said:

The creatures of this star are made of metal and glass.

Through the transparent parts you can see their guts.

Their feet are round and roll on diagrams of long

measuring tapes, dark with white lines.

They have four eyes. The two in back are red.

Sometimes you can see a five-eyed one, with a red eye turning

on the top of his head. He must be special–

the others respect himand go slow

when he passes, winding among them from behind.

They all hiss as they glide, like inches, down the marked

tapes. Those soft shapes, shadowy inside

the hard bodies--are they their guts or their brains?

By May Swenson

Understanding the poem: once you read the poem below you see that it is about an alien who hovered above a freeway and had his first encounter with humans.(this is a summary). THAT, however, is NOT the “theme.” What is the theme of the poem? read the poem AND the criticism in order to gain more understanding. In the end, a “universal” “common,” or “life lesson” is offered. What is it?

Hardest question:What is the theme of the poem?

One must wonder where technology will take us as we seem to compare it to human intelligence

Other “themes” – NOT those in this poem, but examples of what you are looking for.

Fit for a Princess: Daughter, sister, confidant, friendTreat today as her legacy, not as an end.

Princess was her name, a name of grace and elegancebut it was her qualities of nobility that really made the difference.

We are bereft of her enthusiasm, joy, and energy, no doubtOnly some of the qualities that brings today’s tears of loss on out.

Her strength, love, and compassion were beyond compareStepping out on faith, being herself, and others she’d dare.

Into everyone’s lives she brought laughter and joySo carry this thought with you, every girl and boy,

Look around you, care as she did, make someone smile,Be confident, be selfless, go the extra mile.

We’ll miss her, rest assured, but please be certain,She’s with God now, and in heaven there is no more hurtin’

IfIf you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you;If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,But make allowance for their doubting too:If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,Or being hated don't give way to hating,And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,If you can meet with Triumph and DisasterAnd treat those two impostors just the same:.If you can bear to hear the truth you've spokenTwisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winningsAnd risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginnings,And never breathe a word about your loss:If you can force your heart and nerve and sinewTo serve your turn long after they are gone,And so hold on when there is nothing in youExcept the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,If all men count with you, but none too much:If you can fill the unforgiving minuteWith sixty seconds' worth of distance run,Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

Western literature begins with the Iliad, a poem that celebrates humanity by showing its destruction at the hands of competitive, vengeful young men. It is a war story told from a godlike perspective, complete with heroes, enemies, catalogues of weapons, and well detailed banquets, but also through the eyes of a parent who spent twenty years raising a child at home, only to see him cut down in an instant on the battlefield. It is,

First, a note about the original Greek poetry. In Homer's time the predominant meter was dactyllic hexameter, which places six beats in every line, each measure being a triplet of syllables with the beat on the first one. So the line goes: dum-da-da dum-da-da dum-da-da dum-da-da dum-da-da dum-da-da dum-da-da dum-da-da. It may sound wonderful in Greek, but in English it's been said to resemble "pumpkins rolling on a barn floor" (anonymous reviewer of a translation).

O goddess, chant it out, the choler grown In Peleus' son, aggrieved Achilleus, Simply deathful, sheerly doleful for Achaians; wholly numerous warrior souls It sent to Hades but to dog-throngs down By Troy and divers birds the corporal dead In piles it highly proffered, all for prey, And Zeus’s will thus came to pass outright, As this began when first Atreyedes, Monarch of chiliad-lancers, and Achilleus, bright With god, in breaching1 closed like enemies. Which of the gods to rupture in a fight Provoked them? Leto's son, whom Zeus begot, For he a fulsome plague on Argives brought. When Jove convened the senate of the skies, Where high Olympus' cloudy tops arise, The sire of gods his awful silence broke; The heavens attentive trembled as he spoke:

Use your answer sheet to identify these literary elements and techniques. List as many elements as you recognize in each example, but do not just randomly guess - there will be extra credit for extra elements, BUT!!! If any one of them is wrong, THE WHOLE ANSWER will be counted as WRONG because it means that you were guessing!

(it can be argued that not all terms fall under this one term I am looking for, but what is the term and which do not belong and why?)

The Sounds of September 17Horrible screeching, surprisingly lowAs needle scrapes album causing an evil bellowJazzercize in the old college gymBrought to a halt, but in the midst of the dinSplintering, twisting, wooden walls call out – Earthquake!Screams of students running out as the ground does shakeHeld breath, soft gasps and loud sobbingThings crashing to the ground, brick facades uncobblingDo I stay or do I go ?the mind screams as everyone else rushes to and froCar alarms ring, some standard, some with high wailTraffic moves jerkily, nothing faster than a snail.After the initial silence, then the sounds of serious and frantic needCall home, get home, but please don’t speedHours upon hours, the clock peals its tonesLoved ones finally connecting – and finding shattered homesThe Cyprus, now a memory of its once mighty structure of transportThe A’s and the Giants, who’s in the lead, no longer of importPeople who were on their way home after work – or off to the gameNow reside in a cement coffin for 200 or more, rich and poor, the sameThe sounds of a 6.9, no 7.0, , aLeave people in stunned silence when the day is done.

As I Grew Older is a poem written by Langston Hughes. The poem looks at the idea of achieving dreams, and how it's difficult to get them because he is black. In this poem, the blockade which obstructs him from achieving it is a wall. The dream seemed very possible at first, but then the wall "rose slowly" showing that it seemed less and less likely as he grew up. He was then in the shadows until he realized that he needed to destroy the wall to obtain his dream.

Understanding the poem: once you read the poem below ,you see that it is about the idea of oppression of an ever rising wall between a man and his ambitions, and his need to fight against it (this is a summary). THAT, however, is NOT the element I am looking to see you identify. What is the _______ of the poem? Read the poem AND the criticism in order to gain more understanding. In the end, a “universal” “common,” or “life lesson” is offered. What element s it?

Hard question: What literary element is found in the underlined hint?

This poem expresses the idea of oppression and fighting against it

THEME As I Grew OlderIt was a long time ago.I have almost forgotten my dream.But it was there then,In front of me,Bright like a sun--My dream.And then the wall rose,Rose slowly,Slowly,Between me and my dream.Rose until it touched the sky--The wall.Shadow.I am black.I lie down in the shadow.No longer the light of my dream before me,Above me.Only the thick wall.

Only the shadow.My hands!My dark hands!Break through the wall!Find my dream!Help me to shatter this darkness,To smash this night,To break this shadowInto a thousand lights of sun,Into a thousand whirling dreamsOf sun! source, poemhunter.com

Slidin’ In – To My Chagrin!Submitted by Kathryn Pariseau, 2011

Kathy’s in the poolThinkin’ she’s real cool,takin’ care of business

but the walls sprung a leakSo it was drained to take a peakAnd the pool was no longer a pool

Secure a line, from side to sideAlong the dry edges she thought she’d strideExcept… dry is only dry until it’s wet

One drop of water on dry slimeThe slope is slippery, the slide sublimeThere’s no stoppin’ now!

Increment by increment,Losing ground on the wet cementSliding into the deep black doom

First up to the ankle, then past the shoeUp to the knees, with slimy black gooNobody should have to endure this!

IMAGERY

04/19/23 46

Wanting to scream, fighting the slideFeeling slime, creeping “inside”Oh Grosser than Gross!

Nasty stuff in places one does not dare to speakMuffled cries of Oh Help Me! Come out in a squeakTHEN the voice is found!

No! No! No! No! No! in rapid successionWith the nasty goopy slime there is no recessionFatefully, now at one with the Lagoon of Ick

Up to the armpits, saturated through the clothWhat can one do, what did she doth?Slipped and slid, all trying to get out!
