ReplyDeleteNever Like This
I’ve held others before,
But it was never like this,
Where my body inhales you
And quivers with bliss,
Where my senses are reeling
From the strength of desire,
And if I can’t have you soon,
I’ll be consumed by the fire.
By Karl Fuchs
This is short and staright to the point and i love it. It reminds me of how i feel sometimes and the rhyme scheme works to the author found words to show strong passion and kept the rhyme scheme in tact. I hate that i didn't find it first! He also used fire as a symbolism for pain.

ReplyDeleteTo Aysia & Lea,
I really like your poems, that's why i picked it, but i put mine up 1st! :P
But no really, the poem has alliteration and it is very touching & emotional, talking about love.
Also , D'naja and Lea nobody told y'all to be copy cats and read my mind. Maya Angelou is my favorite poet so hmph !

ReplyDelete@Jasmine the poem that you picked "A BESTFRIEND" is very true. a friend is always there when you need them the most. to give you great advice and to be there when your not feeling the greatest. to be there when your feeling up or even down. to tell you whats wrong even when you don't want to here it.a bestfriend is there to have your back through any and everything.A best friend never stops believing in you
ReplyDeleteeven if you give upon yourself.your poem is a free verse poem which is verses that really doesn't follow a fixed metrical pattern

ReplyDeletethat was the most beautiful poem i ever read. the tone and hatred in the poem just explains and tell how i feel about homework. and then the poem actually kept my attetion because it was rhyming and it stayed on topic. then i liked how it detailed the bad things it wanted to happen I hate you! You stink!
"I wish I could wash you
away in the sink.
If only a bomb
would explode you to bits"
and i like how they rather do bodily harm than to do homework "rather take baths
with a man-eating shark,
or wrestle a lion
alone in the dark,
eat spinach and liver,
pet ten porcupines,"
ALL AROUND GREAT POEM!
To Katherine
ReplyDeleteYour poem is very epic and gives the reader a lot of imagery.
Repond to Chameel:
ReplyDeleteYour poem is very interesting. The poem "Never Like This" is short but the meaning is very obvious. This poem have a rhyme scheme --"From the strength of desire,
And if I can’t have you soon,
I’ll be consumed by the fire". I understand the poem from my point of view because he havent felt this way before about a women and if he doesnt have her he wouldnt know what he would do with his life. The tone of this poem is desire and love. He has a desire to be with the women and he never felt this way when he held her in his arms. -- "I’ve held others before,
But it was never like this".

ReplyDeletei loved to poem because it was about love and a single moment. It said a lot but it only captured one moment of life between that woman and man. it told a story of the two and a little bit of their relationship of how the woman felt about the man but he didn't show her he felt the same way and it kind of broke her heart to know. but it all changed in that one night when he gave her a long stare into her eyes and just said "i love you". i like how the poet also used symbolism in the poem as well when she said "My heart beat quickly, My head Raced on" referring to her being nervous and unaware of what was about to be said to her from her man.

ReplyDeleteThis poem is nice because it's short and to the point. I like the rhyme scheme that is used when the first line sounds alike with the third and the second alike with the fourth. The main idea that they talk about is homework and how dreadful it is. The author uses explosive words that got my attention in the story. I also like how they describe and added animals and objects to make the poem sound better.

I really took interest in your poem because its something I can relate to. Your poem is inspiring to young females in relationships that aren't treated like they should be. In your poem it seems like the boy your were talking about will soon symbolize something to you. He would symbolize something you don't want to ever have again. Something that would ruin your life or even lead to self-distruction. But, at the end of your poem you showed that you are better than how he made you feel.
....money, cars, clothes, hoes, *itches that wasnt even up to part, dog face taking my place but you told me i would never be replace.....
The tone you made in this line set the mood for your poem. It seems as if you were hurt and you wanted to give up. Giving up in this situation for you made you a better young lady.
