SEASONS

by Jill Lemmin

There comes a season in our lives
when we look at what we've done...
and wonder how we'll be received
when this race on earth is won.

We start to look at life through faith
and we search to know God's plan...
material things begin to fade,
when we place our trust in Him.

We long to make a difference
and find reason for our birth...
we can't rely on earthly things
to determine our self worth.

I'm thankful for this season
that has given me such peace...
God has taught me who I am
and I'm happy being "me."

MY CHRISTMAS WISH FOR YOU

by Ruth Kephart

My Christmas wish for you, my friend.
Is not a simple one.
For I wish you hope and joy and peace.
Days filled with warmth and sun.

I wish you love and friendship too.
Throughout the coming year.
Lots of laughter and happiness.
To fill your world with cheer.

May you count your blessings, one by one.
And when totaled by the lot.
May you find all you've been given.
To be more than what you sought.

May your journeys be short, your burdens light.
May your spirit never grow old.
May all your clouds have silver linings.
And your rainbows pots of gold.

I wish this all and so much more.
May all your dreams come true.
May you have a Merry Christmas friend.
And a happy New Year, too ..

Just went through the last class now and here is my assignment mr laykorn:
MURDER STORY
Stanza 1:
Vulnerable in the dark alley,at nine in the night.
Eve heard another hard voice behind her.
She tried to imagine it was a dream just,she'd wake up.
But the assassin's blow,to the middle of her forehead,jerked her out of the dream,and brought her to reality.
A dangerous reality,the pistol stared at her,with eagerness to make her birthday her lastday.

Stanza 2:
The smell of blood,as it dripped down her forehead.
Was this going to be her death?
She felt the anger in the voice of the assassin as he spoke to her.
He was all drunk as if he was coming from a bar.
You are Eve? He asked with a wicked smile.
She just looked up without giving an answer.

Stanza 3:
The slap the assassin gave her was enough to make her nod her head.
Suddenly,they were not alone anymore as she spotted a nigger coming towards there direction.
She looked at the assassin with the hope that he would be afraid and run away.
But his face was blank as he loaded a bullet into the gun and shot into the night.
And then there was a scream and silence.

Stanza 4:
With the pain on her head still throbbing,she thought she had finally died.
She opened her eyes only to find the assassin gone,she was finally free.
But a murder has been committed and she has being left at the scene.
Suddenly,she heard police sirens,and she knew she was in a lot of trouble.
She couldn't even remember the face of the assassin due to the blow on her head.
The only thing that saved her was that,she wasn't with the murder weapon.

Awesome cheesy
There was an example of grammatical inaccuracy in the first line of stanza 2. It should have been 'dripped'. I'm awed by your simple narrative style.

Since you've gotten your hands into it, I advise you do some 'googling' on narrative poetry and see more of it. Reading will make you so much better at it.

And your storyline too, awesome sweetie! cheesy

Re: SOUND OF WORDS by Nobody: 6:08pm On Jan 06, 2015
Solution to my assignment:
1.What makes free verse different from all other styles of poetry?
Answer:
a. free verse does not have a set structure,its up to the writer to make the poem and make up the rules for each poem.
b. Because of lack of pre determined form,free verse poems have the potential to take truly unique shapes.
c. The poet possesses more license to express,and has more control over the development of the poem.
d. It allows for a more spontaneous and individualized product.

2.what is a stanza in poetry?
Answer:
In poetry,a stanza is a grouped set of lines within a poem,usually set off from other stanzas by a blank line or different indentation.
It can also be defined as a division of a poem created by arranging the lines into a unit,often repeated in the same pattern of meter and rhyme through out the poem. The stanzas within a poem are separated by blank lines.

3.Explain how a stanza arrangement will make your poem better?
Answer:
Stanzas are used in poetry for structure. Unlike prose writing which is written in sentences and paragraphs,poems are written in lines and stanzas. choosing how to arrange those lines is part of the craft of poem writing. poets consider how to situate words,lines and spaces in order to create rhythm and tempo. These poetic devices help to create a mood which supports the theme of the poem.

4.Write a poem in free verse on free verse with title "free verse".
Answer:
FREE VERSE
Life is like a free verse,
Everyone living as they please,
Some pleasing there parents,
Some pleasing friends.

Just as a free verse has no rhythm and structure.
Life has no need for scripts.
You live your life,just as it comes at you.
And try to please yourself.

In a free verse,the poet is in control.
As we are in control of our life.
We have a choice to be a success or a failure.
And a choice to choose between heaven or hell.

But sometimes I don't like the free verse.
Cause I need some type of structure and rhythm.
Like the couplet,the ballad and the haiku.
Cause Life also needs balance.
