Halloween
Halloween is a fun time for everyone. From kids trick or treating, teens and adults partying, everyone loves halloween. Yesterday I went out and baught a halloween costume for a party on friday. It was a tough decision but I ended up getting a genie costume. I think it will be fun to dress up as and funny at the same time. Also, I found out that when a friend of mine comes back from college over thanksgiving break they're throwing a party with the theme of "G." This means dress up as anything that starts with a G. My genie costume will be great for halloween and for the "G" party. This is cool and also makes me feel better about spending $45 on a costume.

1)Hard to explain
but surely wont fade
concepts may not be understandable
just as a proof
you must work for an answer
math is better done by two
doesn't mean they will ask about you
time it takes
and time it will consume
maybe in the end
more will bloom
not always taught
and hard to answer
love is like math
eventually you'll find an answer
2)The Road to Love(revised)
hard to explain
the feelings won’t fade
Concepts not understandable
you must work,
a proof nonetheless
Math is better done by two
maybe their answer,
as priority to you
time problems take,
and time learning will consume
hoping at the end,
an answer will bloom
not always taught
and sometimes hard to answer
so donate dedication
you’ll find an answer.

Monday Week
Today is monday,
the start of the week
with school and tutor,
i feel so weak
i get to hockey,
what a reliefe
the weekend is soon,
a mear belief
As monday goes bye,
i relief with a sigh
mondays are long
not as the weekend-
which i long
monday is a start,
which has no end
therefore i know
this cycle never ends

Oct. 7th blog
Love poems are deep. They show a theme of love. The thing is, there are so many different aspects of love that it makes it hard. So far this unit i have learned more about love, and actually started to look at love in a new way. If not in just one new way but many ways. There are endless ways to look at "love."
Love Is Like a.. my own words
Love is like hunger,
it comes and goes
even if you think you are in love
love is like a baseball game
feelings grow and grow
untill the 9th inning
when you go home
feelings are lost
as new oppurtunities unfold
youll find yourself wondering
what your next love might behold
it comes and goes

I Am Not Yours
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love, put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.
3)From: http://www.poetry.com/lovepoems/lovepoems.asp
4)Author, Sara Teasdale, displays the theme of love when love is not found anymore between a couple. She explains how someone can be in love and then lose their spirit. Someone can have once been in love and then lose the feelings while the other person stands to believe the love is mutual.
5)"Lost as a snowflake in the sea." This metaphore explains how feelings are lost because obviously a snowflake in the sea with just melt and die just as feelings for someone can do the same.

Oh plunge me deep in love, put out

Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

Poetry Critique
The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
2)I chose this poem because when I read it, I felt a connection. I think the point of taking your own path is important as following others all the time doesn't make you who you really are.
3)The title "The Road Not Taken" is very easily seen in the ideas of the poem. Robert Frost literally travels one road instead of another because he sees the oppotunity in not following "most people."
4)"Because it was grassy and wanted wear" Frost uses imagery here to show that this path has been wanted less be previous travelers and we can tell because the vegitation is much more full then the other path that has been cleared by walking people.
5)I find the tone of this poem to be a kind of personal motivator. It starts as a dilema and shows how making the personal choice- opposed to the popular choice- makes "all the difference." It gives the idea that a lot of positives have come from making the individual choice.
