Hey everyone! So in Language Arts we've been talking about what poems potray to you! So here is a poem by Robert Frost that could have MULTIPLE different meanings.
Whose woods there are I think I know
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake
The only other sound's the sweep
Of 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.
So, now you would examine what this poem means to you. This is what I think.
The way Robert Frost is speaking seems like he is stuck on the edge of reality and death. Although it tells about him walking or riding to wherever he is going it sounds as though he is visting places he once lived or where he once was. Now the thing about this poem is the last stanza. Same rhyme scheme. Deep, keep, sleep, sleep. If he were to keep going the poem wouldn't end because of the rhyme scheme being the same. Now, the last two lines are interesting also because they are, obviously, the same. Now even though they are the same they could mean something totally different. The first could protray his living life when he was alive and the second could represent death.
So thats all for now. If you break poems down it helps you understand more about what the writer is trying to say!
Bye!

Turning in to a distater.
Hey everyone. I was working hard to make a reasonably GOOD poem for a while. I think I came out with a good one. There's been a LOT of ripped up pieces or paper, used pencils, and garbage bags in the use of writing this. I really worked on it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Without further talking, here is "Turning in to a disaster".
Her and I,
It just felt so right.
So far today,
We hadn't had a fight,
But one word,
Can start such a blight.
I cant do it,
This love has been light.
It floats along,
Then the plane takes a turn,
Right to disaster.
From these mistakes, I've learned,
You cant leave,
Without getting seriously burned.
I miss you,
For your love is the only I've yearned.
Now I'm a mess,
For you, I am continuously concerned.
Well, that's pretty much it. I will try posting more frequently, too! So I look forward to that... For the record, this took me about 10 minutes to write..mostly trying to find words that rhymed[; But I think its a pretty good one.
The poem means that if your going to love someone, your going to have tough times. Love is DEFINITELY not a walk in the park. Your gonna have crash-landings and your twists and turns. If your like me, and you have a lot of opinions on things, love will be tough. But you just have to stay strong, and not get burned out. Wait for the one you TRULY love and hopefully, the plane won't have any terrorists on board[;
Thanks for reading.

PS. Long post, right? :D

The Untitled Poem
HOLA EVERYONE AND VIEWERS! Yeah, so I made this poem yesterday and I dont really know a title for it, so if you want...Reccomend a title in the comments? Kay cool..enough blahlbahblah and I will just get to the main reason for the post[;
I see stars in her eyes,
But deep inside, is it just a lie?
I sat down everyday,
Doubting myself, while I cried.
It may seem that,
Day by day, my love dies.
I just cant find the cure,
But what I know now,
That love is not to fear.
I would like to know what you think, since its only my SECOND post. So yup, I really hope you liked it. Comment if you did, and comment to tell me if you think of a title idea.
Thanks,
ConnorLikesPosting
PS. Did you notice my Chicago Bears color scheme?[; GO BEARS!

New poem!
You called me a wimp
A wimp I am not.
I have gone through more,
more than alot.
You call me a wimp again
more pain you inflict
this pain causes
tears, rain and a tick.

Living For Now
Heyy everyone! Lyss here with two new poems! :D I really dunno what to say, so I'll cut to the chase xD The first poem is called "Living For Now" and I didn't name the other one.
Missing the old days
But Living for now,
Trying to move on
But I'm not sure how.
Days, months, years,
They go by too fast
And, before you know it,
The good times have passed.
But continue, we must
For our journey's not done
We have to start living
And have a little fun!
~~
The wind in his hair,
The sun in his eyes,
Hands tied together,
Between us, no lies.
Well, that's it for this post. Hope you guys liked my words! ^^
Signing off for now,
~Lyss<3

2 new poems!
Live for today
Live for tommorow
Live for next week
But dont live in sorrow.
Did you know you're my hero?
In every single way?
Did you know I look up to you
Every single day?
You help so many people
So many its hard to count.
I dont think I could even guess
at the numerous amount.
I hope you know
that you are really great
and that there is not one thing about you
I could ever hate.

HOLA!
Hi there! This is Connor, and I will be a new poster on this blog. Not a old poster..new one xD Kay anyway, im really..CRAZY..and Insaine..I like llamas, and drawing..and writing poetry! (duh) Thats why Im on this blog. Well, since Im new here..I might as well show you a poem I wrote in..about 5-ish minutes? So yah, here it goes..
Is there a barrier?
Keeping me away from this love?
Is there a cage?
Falling down on me, from above?
I dont see how,
You kept me away for so long...
Is it me?
Who made this so wrong?
I wish I had,
A time machine, to take me back.
To redo my wrong,
Is it my love, that I lacked?
Well, I really hope you like this..I really enjoyed making it! :D Well, see you next time I post..(Hopefully I do!) Baha..

There his heart sit.
The stars hold his smile,
The sun holds his face
The only thing he really wants
Is to keep up with his own pace.
The world is his life
The moon is his day
Yet in his lonely room
There his body lay.
He cannot place it
for his heart
is too big to fit
anyplace, anywhere
There his heart sit.
