Haiku

A dwindling flame,
A struggle of maintainence,
A loosing battle.

A metric tuler,
A scale of one to eighten,
As if full of lead.

The cool night's breeze,
Leaves danced and twriled in the sky,
Beautiful and free.

Tanka Poem

Algebra 1 Class
Tables's long grey edges
a pen and paper
Dancing numbers with movement
Ms. Sue's timeliness voice rang.

May twenty seventh
Sound of ringing bells yeilding,
Blankets unfolded,
A simple desk and textbooks,
Desperate student half asleep.

Star of cloudy night.
The night sky was blanketed,
With clouds and more clouds.
The cool soft breeze swiftly blew,
Unveiling a trace of gold.

Cinquain Poem

Ice cream
creamy, cool
eating, laughing, riding
A Child's secret deep passion
I'm ice.

Skeleton,
white, lifeless,
lying, resting, watching
Resting and still in science lab
Human anatomy.

Television,
fun, entertaining
sitting, staring, drooling,
A human being's best best friend,
TV.

Ps. I know I did a couple wrong, sorry.

Acrostic

I have a confession to make. For those who haven't noticed, I have not been doing my blog on time recently. Terrible habit. I'm very sorry, and I can guarantee you that I will try to not allow it to happen again. Anyway, back to the main point: 

Alive on this Earth 

Living in Hsinchu 

Yo! People! 

Saturday is the most relaxing day ! 

Sunday simply drives me nuts. 

Allied with close friends. 

Hates it when things don't go as planned. 

Sloppy and careless at times 

U and I can be great friends! 

Nausea in the crowd

Irregular with temper 

Can be lost in dreams. 

Of course there will be 

Losts and incompletes 

Even the slightest can make you retreat. 

Stand and fight, 

Astronaut will be! 

Icy cold on out

Normous burns right in 

Turned out she could be. 

Anything she wants to be. 

Elements of poetry.

So here is another unit about poetry that I have to think about. There are many elements of poetry such as rythm , but it shared many common similarities to fiction. Some elements are simply neccesary for every form of writting or literature, or else the work itself is going to be a sing lullaby that luuls readers to the deep depth of dreamland( or lala land if you're not an easy sleepr. I'm not. I would probably be distracted, which I hate. Yet, if poetries simply contain rythm, I think I eventually will. It could be an excellent Good Bye Lullaby that eveyone is oohing about this following month. Oh, and sorry for being so off-topiced again). Some elements that fiction and poetries both share is suspense, settng, conflict, character, irony, similie( big one) and metaphors( obviously, another big one), figures of speech, symbols( one of the main things about poetries...etc. And now I will go through them one by one. Poetries can have suspense in horror poems, thought not that often. Setting to describe what you are describing about, " It was a dark and stormy night", conflict to make the story interesting, character to actually lead the story going, irony to make the story interesting, similies and metaphors to compare two unalike things, and symbols to represent somthing more than itself. Ex. " The trees shed their leaves" = Winter/Fall.

What does poetry do?

Hmmm, that is a very interesting question that I had never thought about. Poetry just always seemed to be a distant rhyming song that enlightened my early childhood, and no one had ever dared to question it's very own purpose for existence. Before I give you my detailed explanation, let's start with a bit of compare and contrast from poetry to other forms of writting. Taking literary fiction, for an instance, it has long sentences that often don't rhyme. And of course, it is often much longer than poetries, and there is no room for sentence fragments. For poetry, it's exactly the opposite. It is composed of short sentences that will be better if they do rhyme. And of course, often much shorter paragraphs and far shorter than literary fiction like the one I am holding right now which has two hundred pages. If you think that's a lot, try Jenny. Her book ( source of entertainment) has at least five hundred pages. How did poetry came about in the first place? Well, poetry came from song. In fact, it is suppose to be a song that people can easily sing along with meanginful but easily memorable lyrics. Since, people back a couple years ago could not read nor write, and people who can perform these functions can get themselves a job. Anyway, poetry was suppose to be a efficient of storytelling.

Spring Break

During spring break, the happy graduating students flew to the beautiful Bali for a wonderful vacation. It was kind of fun and excactly what I had excpected. We arrived at Bali Club Med at around five o clock pm. Our dizziness and tiredness from the flight was instantly washed away by the boiling excitement we received and contained once we stepped into the club. After arranging our rooms and settled down our lugages, we took a walk along the beach, oohed and ahhed over the luxeroius structures...etc. Throughout the rest of our vacation, we cannoed, snorkled, shopped, rafted, watched television( for a fairly long time, it's actually one of my favorite part of this vacation. Who would have thoguht such an ordinary activity would actually top my list?), played basketball( For me, I watched people play basketball), played battminton( Or however way you want to spell it), watched late night performances( Turned out to be a great surprise when we see the performers working as staffs of different stops in Club Med. Their schedule is pretty complicated. In the morning: staff work. Night: dance and sing for one hour. Midnight: Dance and sing some more at the bar to entertain their foreign guests.) Anyway, we kind of had a blast.

Exageration

This is kind of a harder subject for me to have real deep connection to, and now especially, is not a good time. After five days of vacation, I felt as if I left my heart in Bali( simile) ( haha) . Ok, not really. Anyway, I had been completely off-topic, but for the old timers this should be completely normal. Anyway, exaggeration. First, to define it's meaning: It is the matter of making things greater, grander than they really are. There can be lots of motives for the matter of exaggeration, and in literature, writers uses it to make their plain stories a bit more interesting to read. For example, my homework pile is as high as Mount Everest.( Kind of true, in a way). She smiled so wide her face is going to spilt open( Exaggeration, often used on prejudiced and arrogant characters in which the main character dislikes.) He walked by a dog that is as big as an elephant( No explanation needed, right?) She took one step and the earth shattered beneath her. ( Definitely not true, least not on a normal basis. That's hope it will never happen. Anyway, this is an example of exaggeration) Her words sliced through him. ( I'm not sure wether if this is an example of exaggeration. In fact, I'm kind of confused now. Which defeats the purpose. Oops. ) Her razor sharp glare left a hole on his chest( Exaggeration. Or is it?)
