Poet Poems

A Poison Tree    

by William Blake

I was angry with my friend:

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.

I was angry with my foe:

I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears

Night and morning with my tears,

And I sunned it with smiles

And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,

Till it bore an apple bright,

And my foe beheld it shine,

And he knew that it was mine,--

And into my garden stole

When the night had veiled the pole;

In the morning, glad, I see

My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

To be completely honest when I first read this poem I didn't know why I really liked it. After reading it over several times though, it grew on me. The style and flow of the poem really intrigued me and made me want to keep reading. It's really about how he was angry with a foe and his hate kept building and building. 

"It is difficult to get the news from poetry, yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there." --William Carlos Williams."

I think that this is a very true comment.

The Measure of Success

What really is the measure of someone's success? Is it the amount of money you make? How many friends you have? To me when I'm older success will be measured by my happiness. It won't really bother me if I don't turn out as wealthy as a like or have the incredible job, but If I can look back on my life and smile I think that it has been a successful one. When i retire I'd really like to live in a small little town down the shore. It would be nice seeing the Ocean every day and being able to walk on the beach whenever I please. 

Describe This!!!

Like a black hole, objects travel into the abyss and never return.

Solid and durable, always strong and prepared for whatever comes its way. 

It surface dark like the night but upon opening light emerges onto its inhabitants. 

Inauguration Day

Today, January 20th 2009, is one of the most historic days in United States History. It will be a day that we will always remember and one that has a great place in history. I wish that I could have gone to Washington D.C to witness it but unfortunately I could not. I wish Obama all the best and hope that he has a successful term in office. 

Scarlet Letter So Far

As of now I have read up to chapter 11 in the novel. I have some mixed feelings about it. When I first read the actual book I sometimes get overwhelmed with the vocabulary and "puritan culture" that is often discussed. On the other hand when we talk about it in class I really enjoy the novel and all of the deep meanings that the author has to write about.
