Gawain 0 #2 December 15, 2003 "There once was a man from Nantucket..." How about Tool's "Schism". Plenty of room for interpretation and even without music, makes for an interesting read. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Nightingale 0 #6 December 15, 2003 Tam Lin. There's a hundred websites out there that talk about it... classic celtic poem, tons of symbolism. EASY to understand because it tells a straightforward story. and... you may want to memorize how to spell "interpret" teachers like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themitchyone 0 #9 December 15, 2003 These are some poems that I like: "My Mistress' Eyes are Nothing Like the Sun" (Sonnet 130)- William Shakespeare. "Diving into the Wreck" Adrienne rich (a little long, though) "since feeling is first" e.e. cummings "We are Seven" William Wordsworth Good luck. I'm still writing a ton the next few days. I'm an English student, too."If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #10 December 15, 2003 I'm rather fond of "The road less traveled" by Frost. Holds true for a lot of us skydivers, I think... "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

If you're going to pick on spelling, then I'll pick on grammar... "There are a hundred websites," not "There's a hundred websites"...
