A Winter Walk

The snow slowly falls and sinks along the river bank. The site of this place is beautiful, peaceful, but vacant. Solitariness chills the bone, crystallizing the vital organ, making of it a complete glacier. Not even the sun with its mighty power and radiant rays of shine, could brighten a soul. The sun can not bare the emptiness of the land and blasphemies against the Almighty for having to see the sorrow the land suffers. The winds howl and the clouds cry out rain. The rain becomes ice crystals that pour with great mourn for there doomed landing.  The snow makes all that's different look the same. There is no hope and angel-like ghosts are trapped on iced branches of the dead trees. The creeping snow on the surface is like death approaching the body, giving no sign of existence.

The song I chose is "Someone Like You" by Adele, an English singer-songwriter. I like this song because she is contradicting on her feelings but at the end she seems to have resignation of her loss. I find this song to be poem-like because she rhymes. For example, on the first verse of the first stanza she ends with down, on the second line she ends with now. And almost for every stanza she rhymes.

"Someone Like You"

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, "
Yeah

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah

Poem for Anthology

The poem I chose is Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe. I chose this poem because it is about love and about a guy who is devoted exclusively to his one and only Annabel Lee. The poet seems very deeply honest with his expressive stanzas that he helps create images that seem almost vivid-like, or at least in my opinion.

Metaphor

Heights are full of deception that dare me to fall the higher I go and promise to give me wings so that I can fly...the heights offering false promises is the Old Deceiver's doings.

Rhinoceros

I have been a Berenger when at work co-workers see that I'm falling behind on paperwork and they tell me to forge signatures or alter legal papers, so that I can finish faster. I don't of course; it's a good paying job I can not afford to lose and not just that but I do not want to get sent to jail!
