A Final Goodbye ©  Betty Janko Do not weep for me for I will soon be gone, My body may die, but my soul will live on. Perhaps up to heaven, maybe eternity, Or be reborn as another, when I am set free. Do not weep for me for I will soon be gone. I was a survivor since my first breath was drawn. I loved and was loved by animals, and man, Siblings, friends and strangers, since my life began. Do not weep for me for I will soon be gone, My body may die, but my soul will live on. I leave all of you with my love, and I pray That our souls will touch once again, someday.

Choosing lines: Welcome the night. Good sleep is your body’s mending time. In its sweet release, the fires of worry and anger will be subdued, and in dreams you may learn to fly above any blaze and let your secret self float free above a new world you must imagine and learn to embrace each and every day. The title of the poem is “Seize The Day”, which means the whole day is valuable, including the day and night. Seizing a day seems like trying to persuade a person to be positive or to manage his day. However, the lines put in the last stanza by the author is the ending. It is interesting that ending a fruitful day, and those lines are really been stood out from the whole poem. The poem is always having a persuasive attitude because it persuades you to do something such as “ step outside”, “ sit with your thoughts”, or “love your work”. Since the style and the way of expressing the theme and idea to the readers are monotonous, the first sentence of the last stanza - “Welcome the night. ...

My group: The only interesting part of my group was the changing of the positions by the changing of the turn. The person who was performing standing in front of the others and three of us stood like a triangle. On the contrast, we didn't have many body movements. It was interesting that we listed many ideas on the day before Tuesday, but we only chose one idea from the list. When I read it, I didn't have too much time to think about the scene that the author wants to depict. Even though our comprehension of the poem may be different from the author's perspective, each of us adds his own ideas to the lines he chose with movements or the changing of tone. Josh's group: It has four members to help them to build a grand scene on the stage. They separated four-person equally through the stage. The background music is the sound of nature which means they wanted to set the theme of this performance as nature. It is really impressive to me that two of them were reading and...

A Dog Has Died BY  PABLO NERUDA TRANSLATED BY ALFRED YANKAUER The whole poem has eight stanzas, and it has two stanzas for introduction and ending which are using the same term " buried ". It has two different rhyme scheme, which is AABB and ABAB while some lines don't have rhymes. It has a reputation in the sixth paragraph to highlight the main idea of that stanza. At the beginning of some lines, the author uses some adverbial conjunctions such as Ai, but, No, and Yes. It helps to change the flow of the poem when readers are reading it. However, it doesn't use any alteration in the poem, and it doesn't keep the numbers of lines same for each stanza. Mainly, the poem has a relative causals style in its format and the arranging of vowels and consonants. I believe the reason for doing that is adjusting to the atmosphere made by this poem. The poem is describing the result of his died dog and depicting the relationship between them. The writer is not...

Poetry:  No attention to margins, specifically the right margins. Verse: It means "to turn", which was originally came from Latin. Length and rhythm  In metrical verse, each line of the poem can be divided into feet, and each foot into stresses (syllable sounds), to reveal the overall rhythmic pattern. The process of the dividing a line into its metrical feet and each foot into its individual parts is called scansion. An iamb, or an iambic foot, is one light stress followed by one heavy stress.   Five iambic feet strung together to create an iambic pentameter line.  The iambic pentameter line is the most widely used line in English metrical verse.  One-foot--monometer Two-foot--diameter Three-foot--trimester Four-foot-tetrameter Five foot-pentameter Six-foot--hexameter. Maybe called alexandrine when it's pure iambic line.  Seven-foot--heptameter Eight-foot--octameter.                 ...

"I have eaten the plums" is the first two lines in the first stanza. It should be expressing a sound of eating but the sound is eliminated by the term "ice box" in the next two lines. An ice box doesn't fit people's appetite mostly, so the sound of eating is eliminated by the reader himself. Obviously, the first stanza doesn't supply any context, yet the next two lines probably sound really painful because the food is taken away. So far, it sounds really sad when the reader reads it, since the third stanza is all about the guilt. I see the plums are stored in a big block of ice. Hands take the plums from the ice easily, without any difficulties. Finally, the hands are staying at the corner of the room, the plums are crushed on hands. The story behind is a person who couldn't control himself so that he takes the plums whatever in any condition. Even though he enjoys the foods, he is still feeling guilty about that.

Alliteration: Strictly speaking, repetition of the initial sound of words in a line or lines of verse.  Such as "It bleeds the black blood of the blueberry." Assonance: repetition of vowel sounds within words in a line or lines of verse. Such as " Their click as of crystal." Onomatopoeia: It is the use of a word that, in its sense, represents what it defines. The change or the interconnectedness of sound is an important matter. Such as "From the bells, bells, bells. The power of reputations is exposing at here to enhance the poem. There is no name for the arrangement of the vowel sounds, especially in the final line, of the following passage. Different devices in poems vary the variety of languages. In a poem, each part has a connection with others in the paces, tones, and rhythms. 

The chosen sounds we make is really important in a poem. The pronunciation of words changes its effects, such as "Rock" doesn't sound like "Stone" or " Go" and "Stop". The way of pronouncing it may lead you to recognize them in a way that differs from its meaning. Ding Dong Theory: The primitive elements of language are reflex expressions induced by sensory impressions.  Vowel Sounds and Consonants Sounds: When the vowel sound is alone, it is perfect. Consonants sounds have two sorts that can be perfectly sounded without a vowel or not. Semivowels are f,h,j,l,m,n,r,s,v,w,x,y,z, and c soft, and g soft. l,m,n, and r - are called liquids because of their fluency. v,w,y, and z - are more vocal than the aspirates. The mutes are eight: b, d, k, p, q, t, and c, and g hard. k,g, and c hard - sound similar B,d, and g hard stop the voiceless suddenly than the others
