There were many things this year that I have done this year. I took my girlfriend to Disney World for our one year anniversary and saw many movies over the summer before school started. The most resent thing that I am really excited for is the upcoming "Star Wars Rogue One". After seeing the trailer for this movie, I got the chills. I love these movies and I am so happy that I get to watch new movies all over again.

Amy Lowell has said that poems should be just as important as eating in your life. I never believed this until I read these poems again. They truly have brought new emotions and a new insight in my life.

This poem was a metaphor for the mask is a saying for when we don't want to show others our true emotions. "We wear the mask that grins and lies". "It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes."

This poem is about the death of a family member/loved one in the author's life. They talk about how life isn't the same, how their lives don't mean as much anymore because of this death. All they want is quite and they want the world to just stop so they can mourn.

This poem was about the first world war. It was about the soldiers dying on the battlefield and becoming part the earth because the grass was covering them after all the years of fighting. What I got from this was the bodies were becoming one with the earth and the spirits were starting a new life iin the afterlife.

"High School Training Grounds" - Malcolm London

I personally loved the metaphor for this poem. High school is supposed to be the place for learning, making new friends, dating, dances, proms. For many of us, including me it was a war zone. You were put in groups in the school, instead of new friends you had enemies and on top of it the homework was long and stressful. It was hell, and for people like me, we were happy when it was over.

The author is painting a dark and light image of a relationship. He says that he shares his dreams with this special person and is warning them to tread lightly and not to ruin them for him

This poem everyone has done in their life time and that is lie. The lie can either be a good thing to spare someone's feelings, or it can be a bad thing to try and avoid punishment. This poem is about a lie, being found out by a parent and teaching them a lesson in lying.

While reading this poem, I thought I was supposed to be romantic. A saying that the author was trying to say that he carries his true love's heart around. I didn't get that from this poem. It came off as a creepy stalker poem. "i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling".

This poem is very simple when you think about it. It is a love ballet saying that all this person has is this poem. Despite all of his short comings he does this person. I spoke to me because I have a wonderful girlfriend. We have been together for over a year and it has been the happiest I have been in a long time. I am a student, I also have to work 40 hours a pay period. I make enough money to pay for school, food, and bills. The little I do have, I share with her, I love you.

The Poems I chose to write about  have really spoke to me. Amy Lowell has stated poetry is something that is suppose be part of your everyday life. It is a emotion that is suppose to bring out the best, worst in you. It makes you feel happy, sad, angry or it can evem challenge you to think outside the box and try to find a deeper meaning behind the poem.
