tell me any mistakes, or improvements i need to make i any paragraph. don't be too harsh! i'm in yar 8 =) Poetry Assessment Task Selected Poem: Winged Jewel (The Humming Bird) Feathered fire of emerald, Aflashing through the air, Its throat a glowing jewel, A ruby solitaire. Intrepid wings are whirring In airy, fairy flight, Careening through the sunshine, A scintillating sprite. Then pendant o'er flower, It dips its dainty bill, And gathers honeyed nectar From flowery cup and frill. Now darting, swiftly turning, It seeks the trumpet vine, A little tropic jewel Aflame with nectared wine. -CORA L. CONE Analysis: Winged Jewel by Cora L. Cone is a poem regarding and describing a hummingbird’s behaviour and actions. In this case, the hummingbird is flying around and collecting nectar. Cone seems to admire the jewel-like qualities of hummingbirds and her tone of voice is fairly amused. She metaphorically refers to it as a Winged Jewel with words in the first stanza relating to gemstones - emerald and ruby. Third person persona is used with a more omniscient perspective of what is happening. The mood of which the poem is set in is happy and idyllic. Winged Jewel is classified as a catalectic ballad because every second line is metrically incomplete, lacking a syllable. The lines alternately have seven then six syllables and a rhyme scheme of ABCB. Cone’s poem contains an iambic meter; an unstressed syllable, then a stressed one now-v dart-/ing-v, swift-/ly-v turn-/ing-v, creating a more musical sound. The poem consists of four quatrains and contains a few enjambments. Many poetic techniques are used throughout the poem; these include metaphors, imagery, etc. The opening line, Feathered fire of emerald, is a metaphor referring to the hummingbird and its rapid movements which appear to the poet like “fire.” Other metaphors in that verse include the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird’s throat as being A ruby solitaire. A beautiful example of imagery used in this stanza establishing a pleasant, serene effect, are the lines, Careening through the sunshine, / A scintillating sprite. This includes a metaphor as well, conveying the fairylike characteristics of a hummingbird, to that of a sprite. The word, Aflashing in Aflashing through the air, is not a real word, but emphasizes the flashiness and speed of the hummingbird’s wings. In the second stanza, three sets of alliteration are used, to provoke a firm and noticeable sound. Intrepid wings are whirring / In airy, fairy flight, / Careening through the sunshine, / A scintillating sprite. Internal rhyme combined with a metaphor is also used in the second stanza, making the line sound more rhythmical. In airy, fairy flight, Assonance is used in the words intrepid and wings making a subtle “I” sound, demonstrating the intrepidness and humming of the wings. Elision has been used once in stanza three of this poem to smoothen the beat. Then pendant o'er flower,. The word over has been contracted to a syncope – o’er. The lines, It dips its dainty bill, includes alliteration of a strong “D” sound. Hummingbirds are said to be attracted to the Trumpet Vine, which this poem has reference to. The Trumpet Vine in this poem is said to be Aflame with nectared wine, probably conveying that there is a lot of nectar there, and also suggesting that the hummingbird’s attention is at it, just like if you or I saw a flower in flames. Even though there is no moral to be learnt from this poem, many techniques describing the hummingbird and its habits and the use of creative metaphors, assonance and bold alliteration brought the poem to life. moreResolved Question: another short poem of mine what do you think?

Love is the fire I see in her eyes, it engulfs my soul an set's it a fire with a naked lust an desire to hold her naked body close to mine. I am over come with passion an feel the beast within my breast pounding within my body to let it out, so that it may examine an caress her naked body. But my heart feels another emotion that is as strong as the first, it is that of an artist who wishes to hold on to the beautiful form that his eyes admire so. What is the finely bone feminine figure doing to my senses? the colour of her eyes, her hair, her skin, her lips, all beautiful shapes an colours that need to be recorded but I curse my poor artistic skill for my faith an skill are not as strong as I would wish them to be to record such a beautiful creature as she. Oh how angry my soul feels for being born so inept that I with my eyes cannot record such a radiant beautiful women who can make my emotions race through my body that so overwhelm me that I cannot hold a brush without shaking my hands seem not my own. I release her slowly from my hungry embrace an pass to her the gown with which she was dressed in an beg her to forgive my clumsiness an mad desire with which over came my soul an drove me on to such madness, It was the heat of the day which had made my blood boil with so much passion an desire that I could not help myself. I was embarrassed an begged her leave an I started to go towards the door, I was praying that her voice would stop me in my tracks. I hoped an prayed that my lady would desire me with the same longing as I felt rageing through my own body.Oh speak to me my lady do now before it is to late an I should reach the door. I longed to feel her long hair laying across my own naked body. To feel her heart beat next to mine, beating as one in tune together while our arms were holding each other while our hands gently stroked each other's body, tracing the contours an lines on each others bodies left by our hap hazard clothing thrown carelessly upon the floor. My imagination was running wild. Then when I thought the moment was to late an had opened the door to make my leave, my heart stopped suddenly as I heard this sweet angelic voice softly whisper my name. Oh heavenly God, I prayed to myself she has called my name. A sweeter sound I would like to hear an no in an instant that nothing would ever sound so sweet to my ears again. I would cut them off knowing that I have heard an angels voice call my name an I would be die happy, knowing that nothing would ever sound more beautiful or so good to me again. I turned around slowly not wishing to brake the moment in case my ears did decieve me, nor my mind playing tricks on me at that precise moment. For there she lay upon the sofa naked once more with her arms out stretched towards me motioning me beconing me to come towards her once more naked form. I watch as her mouth opens ever so slightly an listen intently to catch her every word as she whispers to me that she to feels a longing an need to match my own an begs for me to hold her once more in a lovers embrace. Quickly I move to her side an take hold of her out stretched hands in my own I place them next to my lips so that i may kiss them while I look deep into her eyes of hazle eyes which are surrounded by her vibrant Red hair. Such passion as ours cannot last as we move towards one another, I let go of her hands to kiss her neck an smell her perfume, an as I do she starts to pull off my shirt in her passion an haste she rips of its many buttons an they scatter across the floor at our feet. I lay down besides her an as one we let our passions race to the surface, we begin to devour each other with our wild animal like passion. We grasp each others bodies our legs entwined around each other holding an squeezing the other with such strength I have never know before clamping on to each other in our frenzied embrace. Then at last the moment of our desire reaches it's summit an engulfs us in our heated passion. The heat of our bodies cooling down after reaching such passionate heights an leaving us both exhausted our bodies laying one upon the other cooling down after such frenzied excitement. Such is love, an life, with passion abated an lust satisfied in the heat of the moment when we as lovers are over come in the moment. Lost as we were in desire for each other with no thought but the carefree abandone of two people. One man, One women, niether one of us felt embaressed as we gave in to natures whim an let our passion's mingle together in this one moment. Now we look into each others eyes an smile knowing that in this moment that this embrace would be our last, for niether one of us could ever let such things happen to us again. For such passion could never be repeated but would only only lead to disappointment so we dress once more kiss an say a sad farewell. The above should have been the ending but got chopped off. I hope you all like it. moreResolved Question: Do you think penning poetry is a great way to beat stress?
London, March 7 (ANI): Former British Prime Minister Sir John Major used to secretly write poetry to relieve himself of stress, it has emerged.The 64-year-old, who lost the 1997 general election to Tony Blair, penned verse during his time in 10 Downing Street, including rhyming couplets honouring former England Test captain Lord Colin Cowdrey. "Throughout my time in Downing Street and office I had always jotted down poems," the Telegraph quoted him as saying."They were about cricket subjects and about politics and about characters. With some of my political poems it is probably best they are never seen in public! "But in the case of Colin l am pleased to share it. We were very close friends and used to get together for whiskies almost on a weekly basis," he added.Judith Palmer, director of the Poetry Society, dubbed his "Lord Colin Cowdrey - A Cricketing Gentleman" as a "heartfelt elegy", stressing the cultural contribution made by Sir John. She said: "It would be great if we had more politicians actively participating in our cultural life. "To write poetry you need to have an attentiveness to life and a wish to communicate - skills that are also good in a politician.'"

Night’s time But I had to eclipse the sun to make it Night: And in the end, I flicker through dark - As if powered by dusk itself. blood in throngs beneath chills of skin. I will not tire; I eclipse the moon tonight. I come alive by light of stars And mist of breath. My feet are the bass drum, Follow the beat of my core. Entwined within air and rain, I eclipse the moon tonight. As I charge, I charge under lights; Extinguish above me Glorious yellow glow, and the freshest air- Hide me. I am the close of the day: I eclipse the moon tonight. The white of my eyes are moonlight. And my head does sing: “oh enigmatic night, Who block thy sight how good to see you again!” I eclipse the moon tonight.

I see the fundamentalist Christians thoroughly besmirching the more humane aspects of their faith, by taking a literal reading of their beautiful, allegorical book: by sidelining its valuable religious truths in favour of pursuing dubious historical or scientific truths that it was not written to support. The bible is a work of poetry; its truths are the truths of philosophy presented in an accessible form to encourage contemplation. But by using it instead as a clumsy hammer with which to beat out your own beliefs, it would seem that you have lost sight of the truths it was written to present. You lose sight of tolerance; you lose sight of love; and you lose sight of its beauty. Instead, you reduce it to the level of a history text or a scientific treatise. Surely you see how mistaken this is? Surely you see that your god would weep to see how his message has been used for your own ends, as mere evidence in an argument rather than of value in itself and for what it says? Jacob's Beloved: So, you *are* comfortable to see your bible used as nothing more than a text book? That's probably the saddest thing I've learnt in my time here; I'm so very, very sorry for you. Very Concerned Person: I can't help but think that your religious views must put you at something of a disadvantage as a professional geologist? moreResolved Question: A question about rapping?
As Eminem once said in Sing for the Moment "till they throw in a rap like us..." about depressed teens... I really want to get into rap, to express myself, but I don't know where to start. I know about sites where you can get freebeats to start you off and sites that are supposed to help you get into rap but they aren't helpful. For starters, none of them talk about flow... So if you could give me advice on how to start out. I know that I won't be as good as Atmosphere or Fort Minor but how do I start recording and how do I get into underground rap? Thanks everyone. (By the way, don't talk about my posh spelling, I'm just writing like that just in case anyone here can't understand my slang). Oh and P.P.S I'm learning piano so I'll be able to do beats in the future once I can get my hands on something like cubase or FL, I got a basic recording thingy where you put in the track and you can record different layers, etc. I also write books but I'm not fantastic at poetry, specially rhymes within a line, see below, but I'm willing to learn and I'll be studying poetry. (like, the cat was on the mat in a blue hat she said, I'm feeling red, while she sat) And last thing, I don't have any chances to learn to be musical from anywhere else, just here and from doing it. moreResolved Question: Poetry or prose??? I'm not sure?
Another "poem" i wrote....though i dunno if its safe to call it that tell me what you think. "She's slender, petite slick. Fresh faced and wide eyed Pumped. hair coloured, volume. Beautifully mangled, tight woollen locks that dangle, sway in the rhythm of a step. Slinking around corners through winding corridors, she flutters her lashes like wings as she stops, high fives and smiles. then clicks her fingers to pulsating beats as she begins again to class. Bright, magnificent, spread out. Flaring. It's as though she were on fire. Ears glistening with silver light. She's a paradox, dark purple and orange bright. The stripes and solids that wrap contain her even physique. Waves of water, firm as earth. She's a diamond, yet she's rough. Then. The classroom door opens. Fire fades to black fresh faced to ash. locks shrivelled into mauled dull roots. her lashes are clipped Waves unbalanced and doughy like clay. she sighs. This isn't me. Not today." It's about how I'd love to look and be. I'm am quite punkish....just in case anyone is confused XD. I think we all imagine ourselves as a different person sometimes.

(i know it’s little long LOL) thank you! in the poem "preludes" T.S Eliot expresses his physical sensations describing city life. he uses a lot of verbs, nouns and adjectives that convey visual olfactory auditory and tactile images. the poet through sensations,can convey us a several and richer feelings, with for example: "smell of steaks"that can also rewind us a worm and cosy place like home." the burn-out ends of smoky days" that it's a metaphor in which the poet seems compared ends of city days to cigarettes’ end because in the evening seme like that the day have to came to the end. "showers beat" and "steams and stamps" which convey us a kind of rhythm that run through the awl poem,in fact those images hide a frantic hammering and meccanically rhythm wich underlines the main feature of city life. The urban life is scan by precises images like:" winter evening" that underlines after all a strong sensation of cold and loneliness "6 o'clock"and "coffee smell".But if days are scan by precise nouns and phrases, instead the city crowd isn't, infact the people are only an indistinct mass that mouving in a false reality, because in this through the individual loses his identity, becomes lonely and feel a sense of empty. only with a word we have a sensation that in the poem could be a real person; this word is "one", but even this time, this is not question.. This is like a person in a confuse mass that searcing to emerge without success , a smoky image of a person’s profile that however don’t succeed to surface! in the 7th line we can find a metonimy,because with word "feet" Eliot talks about people so with his nouns he wants underlines that the prospectivi is in a lower position (that is a little clear view) and that peoples are lost in a inidentified mass. Besides with this word Elliot wants underlines again the man’s mechanicalness , infact they run and hurry but without a real aim. In the 12th line we can find a metaphor" a lonely carb-house steam and stamps" here the horse is compaired to a man,that's lost in this smoky evening ,beat his hoof in street to warm itself, there is another time the wish of underlines the loneliness and the nostalgia of peoples. In the 2nd part we can find an atmosphere of nostalgia and life comes to cosciusness with the morning sun, which light the entire street. In this part of poem,seems that morning itself woke up just like a person that don’t succeed to come back to reality so take cosciusness again about the several mechanical things that he/she do all days. But in this awakening we can’t found that cosy place we found to beginning and besides we can find this sensation of dreariness in the 15th line with word “stales smell of beer” this phrase suggest us a negative image because the unpleasant smell of beer describe to us a dirty place in which we can find a loneliness again; in a few word this image convey us all the opposit of the searching of cozy place. Masquerades in 19th line that is even Word for describe the awoking is a metaphor around wich turn all the meaning of poetry , in this one the poet wants send us a particulare message, the people face up absent the daily life and don’t know who they are anymore and what’s their aim. People believe that their reality is the truth, but is not in this way, infact they live in their dreams, without the cosciusness of their mechanic actions. In 22th line the “digny shades” symbolize a complitely uman’s biwilderment,infact mans don’t understand anymore the reason’s life and they feel a sense of uman despair. In the end in the last line the phrase “ in a … Room” give to the poetry a negative sound because is as if he have to inform mans about they real nature. please is very very very important..least could you correct a little part..if only the second half?.. really not..! infact i'm italian! is 4 this reason that it's important that you correct me my grammar mistaken!..i0m very despairing..! because i don't know if this text is good or bad! ( i mean if the grammar is good or bad!) moreResolved Question: Have you ever suddenly become really good at something?
Just lately my intelligence has boomed. Suddenly I can: Do maths very quickly. Understand and play music very quickly. Beat people at chess. Sew really well. Understand complicated poetry and recite it within a short time of reading it. My reflexes are suddenly really sharp. And my memory capacity has improved. This has all happened within the last two months, and these were things I couldn't do at all before. Has this ever happened to you? moreResolved Question: When did you realise you could write poetry?
I'm strongly of the belief that poetry cannot be taught, so when did you realise that you had a talent for it? With me, it was when I beat 50 other people in year 6 to win the Bardic Chair, then beat 800 people to win it again in year 9. That was good. But also, I learnt to read when I was 3, so I suppose the way with words was always there. When did you discover your talent? :) Sorry, didn't mean to sound cocky, but I suppose I did - I was just trying to explain what I meant :) And I also think that everyone can write poetry as long as they have something that they feel strongly about! So everyone who says they haven't realised that they can write it, you will because you can. That's my opinion, anyway :D moreResolved Question: Deep/emotional hip hop beats? ?

Night surrounds my dark thoughts as I lie in my bed Fear shivers my body as minutes pass away Maths takes over calculating calories intake Mind spinns incredibly seeking the starvation hole in the prison bars Hoping to wake up the joyous “Skeleton World” Pressure grows incredibly as the dawn wakes Heart beats accelerate Breath becomes heavy Fear tastes, suffocate me slowly Morning is coming and it will soon be night.

The one for me is: Gil Scott Heron - His poetry on top of conga grooves and bass lines layed down the foundation of rapping with a groove and to the beat.

This is one of the best ones i've written. My favourite one is another question i've asked if you want to read it! This one is about sexism and how the idea that man is superior is simply not true :] I need critism, i need to know if im crappio or great. There is a pulse Pushing and beating Sleeping and breathing Sex is competing We woman provide to sleep too late Circulating and taking Softly cleaning the blood you leak Wiping the sweat from our bruised brows While men raise theirs while ours face down Mighty and proud Shadowing the fragility with masculinity Beating down on our productivity with their blow Pound. Bruise. These visions of the most perplex And take us While the fabrication of the future is exposed bare in our hands Mans hands lay vacant with precedence Synonyms of “women” are indefinable, odd Where synonyms of “man” are to operate and To take charge of Why so says she? Her baring and labour holds life Living – left up to feminine and less superior statures Why so she says? Preciousness and perfection could not If she would stand down.

I believe the key to a good rap song is having words THAT RYHME! Rap means 'RYHME( or is it RYTHM?) and POETRY. R.A.P. A lot of these popular rappers don't use words that ryhme in their songs.They just talk and sell loads of records e.g. 50 Cent.Try listening closely to his lyrics and you will see most of them don't ryhme.I just listened to 'One Mic' by Nas recently closely and very few words ryhme in it . It has a great beat but that lack of ryhme alone makes the song wack for me.But an awesome use of ryhming words can be found in 'Clothes Off' by Gym Class Heroes.Just give it a good listen.A lot of people think rap is just about street cred,sounding tough and a tight beat and forget the basic building block:RYHME! moreResolved Question: Is the 'folding mirror' a new form of poetry?
I was writing a poem recently, and started making the two halves of the poem, either side of the middle line, the same in structure: two words separated by comma three word sentence middle line of three words, and another after a comma three word sentence two words separated by comma etc This could carry on for as many words or sentences as the poet wanted, as long as the lines either side of the centre mirrored each other in structure. My example: Stoned Free Comfort, Crying, Freedom, Sold into slavery, Beaten, Raped, Unwanted by twenty, Accused of immorality, Judged, Guilty of course, Jeering, Hatred, Surrounded by men, Pain, Confusion, Liberation. moreResolved Question: Glastonbury Festival 2007 full lineup?
