Hey guy and dolls

new URL taken from the poem I just posted.

www.animmenseanatomyofsound.blogspot.com

thought I'd let you know.

peace

Paradise in the ear

Hey kids! tell me what pitchurs this paints in your minds, kay? I wanna know if they match mine, or if they're weird :P peace

I sing of an immense anatomy of sound
Speak
Murmur
Solitary voices
Ecstatic music
Sound meanders through time
The
machine
breaks
Under the sun
A flash
Her hair in the light
Her voice in the air
I swim
in a sea
of words

Paradise in the ear

Attention, Beeyotches.

We all have talents and we all have skills. And since I don't see anyone getting paid or recognized in any way for any of the content of this blog or our personal blogs, that means that nothing here is anyone's "thing". The whole point of writing club was for ALL of us to be able to just write and post whatever the hell we felt like, and maybe get some feedback. THE POINT IS TO WRITE--nobody cares if you are J.D. Fucking Salinger or not. If you guys keep adding these passive aggressive little, "well I'm not as good as _____ " messages, no one's going to want to post anything. So knock it off.

If you like something someone wrote, tell 'em. If you don't, tell 'em as kindly as possible, with some suggestions. If you can't live with this kind of writing community, GTFO. There will be no snowflakes here.

(P.S. This has nothing to do with any of you personally--it's just a rule for the group that I intend to enforce from now on. If you post something with a qualifier like the one above, I'll delete your post.)

Sorry, Kim...

Hair says poetry is your thing, so probably I shouldn't intrude, but I wrote a poem for the first time since... Jeez. Valentine's Day, 2007, and I wanted to share, maybe get some feedback?

going, going, almost gone
i felt myself fading into the throng
how quickly time passes
when you're one of the masses
until i heard your voice and something in me stood still.
a smile on my lips, a sparkle on my eye
the sun, so long covered, is beaming from the sky
though it's the shortest day of the year
something whispers in my ear
a hope that you, my dear one,
could be sitting beside me when the day is done
your smile, your eyes, your infectious laughter
the moment it's over, i crave more ridiculous banter
there's nothing crushing, suffocating, hurting
and every moment together is only reaffirming
that i am for you, and you are for me
when i look in your eyes, it's pure happiness i see
we're silly, silly, love, every little face you make
and with each look, each touch, there's a little more of me you take
but willingly i'll give, let my heart be taken with a smile
just for the chance to hold your hand a while.

Posted for Heather, by Abel



I wrote something today:

We use our senses as our defense mechanism
to avoid getting caught in the rain
I used to believe your words were drenched with wisdom
But tonight they won't fight off the pain

I like it.

Hello There

So I haven't even posted on this blog yet, despite the fact that Ms. Abel invited me to around 2 months ago. I figured I'd just repost my newest blog entry here, maybe I'll get the criticism that I've been looking for here.
I thought I might try my hand at a little poetry(sorry Kim, I know it's your territory). I thought what is a song but vocal poetry. So here it is, the first poem I've ever written outside of english.

Life: What it is

Hair

 

If life is choice

I choose to live

If life’s a game

I hope I win

If life is more

Then tell me now

If life’s surprise

Don’t let me know

 

If I could have

What I wanted

When I wanted

Then life lost point

If I’m patient

Then I will wait

And what I want

Will come to me

 

Yes, life is choice

I choose to live

Yes, life’s a game

I aim to win

Yes, life is more

Of this I’m sure

Yes, life’s surprise

Just wait and see

Grumble. Snow. Grumble. Read SLHS kids.

Due to the snow day, finals will be taken tomorrow.



For those students that need to take finals, you STILL have to show up.



For those students that DO NOT need to take finals because of either perfect attendence or have missed 2 days and still maintain an A in a class, DO NOT have to show up tomorrow!

The assembly was cancelled so those that do need to take finals have more time.



THIS IS A URGENT! WE NEED TO COPY AND REPOST IT AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE!

Send out mass texts, facebook, myspace, blogspot, or any other source to comminucate with a mass majority of the school.



Mr. Adams is trying to get this on the radio but Mrs. Lizardi thought Student Council could spread it just as fast. So if you have any questions, message a Student Council person.



Thanks guys and repost this!

Frankenstein, as told by De Lacey (memory games)

Pertaining to what occurred in the cabin

In the cabin I was left alone
When someone knocked
and entered my home
I let him sit
and he didn't mind
my old age
or the fact that I was blind
He began to tell me his story
He told me of his worry
He wished to befriend a family
But of rejection he had a fear
I told him not to worry
As approaching steps we did hear
He suddenly confessed that this family
Whom he loved, in fact, was my own
And I realized that in teaching Safie
A knowledge of French was in him sewn
He had been restocking our firewood
and shoveling our snow
He had watched and loved us
He had been alone
But before I could learn his identity
My son entered, attacking this man
And although he only did it to protect me
He was frightened and he ran.



Impressions of the Creature

He was courteous and self controlled
He was respectful of the old
He was honest and polite
He tried to do what was right
He was alive, just like you
He knew what he did do
He longed for a friend
but his appearance did not lend
He knew love and hate
Though his temper wasn't great.




Feelings of fear and woe

I had no Idea
of what was going on
So I was full of fear
Until the man was gone.
After things were explained
I wasn't scared at all
Except, for that poor creature
Who's faith in man would fall.




A Means to an End

My own daughter had fainted
And my daughter-in-law had fled
They all feared if we stayed their
That we would wind up dead.
So as soon as we possibly could,
We packed up everything we knew we would
Need to keep with us, as we should,
And moved away, for our own good.
