New Poetry

So in the waje of my writers block, I have decided to explore some newer more modern forms of poetry, one being song lyrics. Many people consider that art right? well it is kind of like poetry in the since that it rhymes and has a set structure. So maybe until I get out of this block I can feature a new song every day. Maybe a specific artist every week. Well this week I have decided to pick Mike Posner. Everyone is calling him the new Justin Timberlake, but no one ca beat Justin so. He is sort of new to the scene but already has some really goosd stuff recorded. The song I picked today is called Please Don't Go. I have no idea what album it is from all I know is that I really like it. I have the link below so check it out.

writters block

OK so I have never had this problem before but I am currently experiencing writers block. So I think I've decided to pursue other forms of poetry. If you have any suggestions please feel free to share.

Ode to my life

I have only one life.

And I must say its mighty fine.

Not because its always happy,

but because I get to call it mine.

I love to share with my friends,

but I get to keep this as my own.

And the best part of sharing this life

is that I am never alone.

It is a marvelous gift we have,

to say we have lived today.

It is a cycle of getting and giving,

nothing that is lost will ever stay that way.

With every life lost

a new one will be found.

And that makes living life

the best thing around.

Ode

An ode is a serious poem that has a set structure. It is written for a specific person, place, thing or occasion. Odes are pretty neat because you can write them about anything you want. Fun fact: many of Shakespeare's were made into plays.

Link

Ok yes another link but this picture is so funny. Maybe I take humor in it because I am a naturally messy person or because my mother and grandmother insist everything be spotless all the time, either way still funny. Can you relate?

Broken heart

She was a woman

who,they say, had no heart.

But oddly enough

She died when hers was torn apart.



Moral of this story, everyone has a heart and it hurts just like yours.
