Meaningless Poem

to bite a frog softly
to burn the slag from her eyes.
to surprise a tough dog could
cause a bruise at the throat

to curve the cloud or the mud
should say nothing. the hot blue
moon is to swing rocks.
the unimportant red leather

to kiss the sharp cool moon
with blue hot belief. to cut the
blue eyed dog. to say the red
leather is hot. it's ruined.

English 1102

English 1102 is a very interesting class. Started off with a research paper and, of course, I can’t write worth a flip. It was kind of interesting though. I passed it thank god. And trying to write for the last couple of essays and I just can’t get the grasp of it. We read a lot of short stories which were very interesting. I really like “Why I Live at the P.O.” because it was very humorous. Eudora Welty does have a sense of humor when she writes a lot of her short stories. I want to find more of her work. We worked on some plays, like “Fences” and “Death of a Salesman”. Those were extremely good plays. I watched “Death of a Salesman” in class but we didn’t finish it. I found it and watched the rest of it. It was fantastic. Once we started working on poetry, I was interested because I love poetry. I try to write poems myself. I have written a few that I don’t really want to share because I was in a bad place for about two years and they are very brutally detailed.

I’m really not into group work because I don’t talk in class. I try to listen more than anything because I lose concentration very easily. I have always liked working on stuff independently. But I suffered through it because it was part of the class. I like the way Mrs. Lindberg teaches the class. She reminds me of my mom because of her sense of humor and her style. I had her for English 1101 and this class. It is really a great class.

My Love Poem!!

I thought I was in love before.

I thought they loved me.

Before I met you, I thought I knew what love was.

I met you and you changed my life

I now know what love means and how love is meant to be.

I love you with all my heart and I thought I could never say that again

You are my life now and you will always be my baby
