Earthes lullaby

The Earth dances around the sun when it is
bright out side and happy it dances fast.
And when it is dark and sleepy out side it sways
slowly and peacefully.
I thought that one day the Earth
would get so very very tired but
every night it sings, dances and still got
lots of grove when it comes to the morning times.
I t makes me laugh and rocks me to sleep.
When I am all tired and worn out he guides
me home with the view of the stars in the sky.
It sings its lullaby to me when I can no quite
fall asleep so he sings his lullaby to me as I dose of to sleep.

Shakesspeare response sonnet 29

This sonnet poem #29 is mostly about loneliness. I know this because in the poem it quotes that

"I all alone beweep my outcast state,"

And when this man read it he start to cry with loneliness. I can infer that he was lonely through out his life because he says his real mother died when he was eight months and he was in an orphanage. I think Shakespeare wrote this poem to describe how many people live and feel. He wrote this poem with great power and feeling so that you can dig deep to understand.

Still I rise response

I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,


This quote from the poem of Maya Angelou
is a metaphor.
The theme of the poem is that you can not bring her down
she will still get back and brush her self off
and just because she is a woman does not mean you treat her like an animal.
Moreover, some men treat women like they own them.
And thats why Maya Angelou is saying"still I rise.

America I am.

America I am

I AM AMERICA
AMERICA I AM
YOU CAN NOT TELL ME
I AIN'T CUZ I DON'T,
SPEAK THE WAY YOU SPEAK,
LOOK THE WAY YOU LOOK,
I DON'T WALK THE WAY YOU WALK,
I CAN'T TALK THE WAY YOU TALK.

BUT I TOO AM AMERICA
AMERICA I AM!

but being that i am different
you tr to distroy who I am
BUT! to me I too am America and,
AMERICA I AM.

YES I AM
YES I AM.
I TOO AM AMERICA
AMERICA I AM.

THE TRUTH LIES BENEATH YOUR SKIN

The truth lies beneath you
your skin.
I can see the through
you like an invisible person you appear to be.
No one can see the world the way I can.

I can't see the world in your point of view
but I feel as if I understand the concept
of how you react to it.

The truth lies, beneath your skin.
Playing tricks on your mind.
A beginner must be taught,
And a teacher must have tools.

No money can't buy you nothing ,
but all the money in the world
can't buy you every thing.

The truth lies beneath your skin
like flesh eating bacteria.

THE TRUTH!!

On that one and only special day
the day you took my love away.
That one part of love
the part of my heart
will stay above
I wanted you from the start.

your lucky number one and not number seven.
I want to be the one you love

Romance of valentines day.

NEGRO GIRL

Yeah I'm that negro girl
But I'm not darker then the whole world
I smell so sweet
Come listen to my heart beat.

But yeah I'm that negro girl
you treat me like the trash YOU are
While i can sit here and shine like that star.

Well today is my birthday
And it feel like the worst day
But I am not ashame
To reveal my name

And yeah I'm that negro girl.
{inspired by langston hughes "NEGRO"}

I AM

I am

I am the river that flows day and night
I am the i in fight
I am the lion the queen of the jungle
I am the one you stopped with a stumble

I am not the one to doubt
I am not the one to pout
Take my hand and lead the way
I am here but not to play

I am filled with beauty in and out
when you see me I make you wanna shout
I am filled with laughter
And I live happily ever after.
THE END

Slave girl

Slave girl
Oh my goodness lord have mercy over us
we go through so much
you people have no idea what it is like to have to wake every morning
and not be able to look in the mirror
not a piece of tissue to touch.


No money to even get a glance at
I loose so much weight I'd rather be fat
No pets
not a dog
not a cat
not a frog
not a bat

not even a roach to
see
first I am glad to be
but then be
but I can only be me
I try not to complain
but this life is SO! lame

If I could be someone else
I would not know who to choose
so I mind as well stay my self.
Just thinking as a young slave girl
i try hard not to get hit
i pry that the master doesn't
want me o have a baby
at such an early age like he did my mom
she was just fourteen.
I don't want to be that girl.
SLAVE GIRL!

Black history boy

That Black History, Boy I do not
know what to do about him
He has the best most taming yet,
chaotic voice and Melony I have ever
heard He sings to me when I feel down
about something He tells me change
has come because Obama got elected in office
as president He reminds me that I have to look
at the fact that I am very lucky because I have been
through a lot but,... I do not truly know the meaning of
being hurt meant when it came to being a slave.
But that black history boy
he treats me so good
to me and i would like to think him
for all the love he has showed me .
He reminds me every day how luck I am
how wealthy and fortunate I am.
He tells me to stay in the light on the bright side.
"Go strong when the fire comes your way"
That black history boy.

"And there, in the garbage she did hate,
Poor Sarah met an awful fate,"

She exaggerates the fact that Sarah hated taking out the garbage.
So she came to meet her fate when aking out the garbage.
I can infer that Sarah dislike taking out the trash.

Chanckera response BM 2

In this poem this young lady was hit by her boyfriend she compares herself to her older sister because her sister got hit or beat up by all her men. So Chankera says that after he hit her she looked into his eyes and say her sister now she is in class and says that she had a late run in with her sister. I can connect this poem and this young lady to some I know because it is called "bruised love" and some girls and women are getting hurt and scared by the men they supposedly love and she is young and deserves better as her friend quoted in the text.
Chankera also uses lots of similes and metaphors in her poem. I think this poet is feeling that as she quoted in the text that "women ain't no punching bag" so she seems to upset at the fact that some boys and men think they control girls and women. I can infer that Chankera does not want to get beat on because of her actions.

The character introduces the poem by telling us that some of his friends are here.
Then he tells us that there are students in his class.he tells and shoes us that terrerism is here lurking at the bus stop because there are people watching them.
He also says do to discriminate and it is to late to worry about his innosence and how much you should not worry.
