Give Poetry A Chance

Give Poetry A Chance

There something about poetry that always intrigues me. I really love how an author dares to pore feelings on a page and let everyone read it. 'Cause that's what poetry is to me, pure feelings. I have a few poems that I really like, especially. But in general I just really love all different forms of poetry.

For example 'The Story of Bonnie and Clyde,' A poem written by Bonnie Parker about how she loves Clyde and in which she reflects Upon their criminal life together. How she knows that she won't live long and that she'll meet her end soon, but that she's happy that she'll die with Clyde by her side. I love this poem. It's so beautiful and I love how Bonnie reflects on her life so simply, but so deeply.

The same goes for a poetry classic: 'The Raven' by Edgar Allen Poe. This poem is phenomonal. The rhyme technique is so unique and really advanced. I love the story of the Raven and I love how you really go through something there. I've never read anything that comes close to 'The Raven' by Poe.

Of course, there are many poems and poets that are amazing. Like Shakespeare, Wordsworth et cetera. And you Should really give them all a chance. Modern poetry also has its charm. Think Rupi Kaur, Warsan Shire, Lang Leav et cetera.

Poetry will change your life. I'm sure of it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
