I chose dreams because we are at this point in time wherein we are already nearing a chapter's end in our lives, which is our college life. And with that, the dreams for ourselves and the people around us are what I believe have had us fueled all this time to continue working on ourselves and to continue striving for what is best for us (at least on how we perceive it).]]> 2022-10-25 00:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354548134 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354548703 I'd like to write about self-discovery. I'd like to convey my thoughts and intents regarding self-discovery in this age where a lot of people dictate who you are and what you're supposed to do. I want to comfort myself and those who can relate to my poem that it is still up to us to know and love who we are. we shouldn't be driven by external factors when it involves our selves.]]> 2022-10-25 00:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354548703 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354548901 I would choose the theme of sacrifice. When I was younger, I always told myself that if I love, I will only give a portion of my love. However, when I finally loved, I forgot my promise or rather sacrificed it in order to love fully. I learned that sacrifice is inevitable, and how it only goes bad when it blows out of proportion ]]> 2022-10-25 00:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354548901 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550008 THEME: CHAPTERS OF LIFE

I would like to write a poem as if I am writing a book, with every stanzas representing different chapters in my life. I would like to use this opportunity to look back on my journey as a student, daughter, sister, and a friend. Being able to write about my life gives me the sense of fulfillment as it indicates that I have known myself better and longer than anyone does. I would probably title it with 'Life in Chapters'.]]> 2022-10-25 00:57:49 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550008 wendyquitorianoxxvi https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550400 I would always be passionate in writing poetries. As someone whose religion is literature, I do have a very deep relationship with rhythm and words. I find it calming to pour out my churning thoughts onto a piece of paper and let them transform into a wonderful piece of writing. Most of the time, the themes I incorporate in my poetries revolve around love, politics, and beauty. I put heavy emphasis on these themes as if they are an extension of my being. However, I would also want to inculcate other themes to my next poetries. Some of these themes include individuality and nonconformity. I am a big fan of Robert Frost, and he often used these themes in his poetries. I highly aspire to write pieces like those he made. Also, as a someone who values individuality greatly, it would be perfect for me to write things that involve independence which is what I value the most in life.

I know that it is one of the most common themes in writing a poem, but for me, love, because I believe that writing anything linked to love through a poem is incredibly wonderful and beautiful for me. Because a poem allows us to communicate our feelings through the use of figurative language and meaningful words to describe our feelings, emotions, and love for someone. Furthermore, a poem about love is extremely powerful for me because it allows us to be vulnerable and honest, pouring our feelings out and putting them into words in a creative way. When communicating our love, heartache, happiness, etc. when writing a poem about love, I believe we must be open in order for the readers to feel the same way. I remembered that when I write a poem, I can easily describe my emotions and convey them in a four-line stanza, which is extremely helpful for someone like me who is not a showy person and prefers to keep all of my feelings to myself. Overall, There are many well-known love poems written by incredible writers to which we can strongly relate; this showcases that love poems are indeed beautiful and powerful. ]]> 2022-10-25 00:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550401 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550410 If I were to write a poem, the theme I would like to tackle is about mental illness and how one live a life with them. In this way I could express my feelings and share my experiences in an artistic way. For I would like the readers who experienced the same problem as me feel like they are not alone. ]]> 2022-10-25 00:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550410 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550422 If I were to write a  poem, I would like to use the theme of my childhood memories. Those memories of mine are my most treasured. It molds me to become who I am, and it gives me dreams to achieve. My childhood memories are the reason why I have become stronger, and have a lot of goals and experiences to share with others. I want my childhood memories to inspire others through my poems. ]]> 2022-10-25 00:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550422 rjnsagun https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550445 I would love to apply the theme of the inner kid in me. I chose this theme not only to serve as a reminder to self that it's okay to have fun and be immature at times but also a message to my growing self to never stop being a kid in a way that I have fun while maturing in the process because growing up is not all about maturing and being all serious but also the fact that we get to accept ourselves from our highs and lows, from our childishness to our maturity because all these sides is us. ]]> 2022-10-25 00:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550445 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550473 I would love to write about the struggles while growing older. I want this theme because it's relatable, and I want to share my thoughts and life experiences for others to ponder. Consequently, if I can share those, the readers of my poem will be careful enough about their decisions in life. I want that poem to be a medium for the readers to consider, especially before making a decision or reaching a conclusion.]]> 2022-10-25 00:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550473 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550480 If I were to write a poem, the theme that I want to apply is about a past relationship. I believe that reminiscing memories from the past, whether it is a special relationship with someone or a friendship that was built a long-time will evoke one's feelings, which I think will draw the attention of readers even more. For the reason that, the readers may somehow had a quite similar experience to it, that they can even relate, or they just felt the feelings that I have put into the poem itself.]]> 2022-10-25 00:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550480 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550493 If I will write my own poem, the theme that I will apply or use is the theme of my life. I will going to deliver my life experiences and the things that made me who I am today. I will share to the people the ups and downs that I encountered and overcame that eventually made me to become stronger and ready to face the future challenges. ]]> 2022-10-25 00:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550493 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550499 If I were to choose a theme for my poem, I would choose love because I believe I can come up with different feelings with this theme. I can depict happiness, sadness, pain, regret, and hope that would radiate to the readers. Aside from that, a lot of people could relate to this because everyone had the chance to love and be loved. However, we also have different experiences with love and I think this would allow my readers to have different perspectives about my poem. ]]> 2022-10-25 00:58:13 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550499 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550693 Theme: Life

I chose this theme as I've always been mesmerized on how life unfolds before one's eyes. We all know how fleeting life is and yet people tend to take advantage of it. Life involves a myriad of themes as well: love, jealousy, ugliness, beauty, happiness, sorrow, and such. ]]> 2022-10-25 00:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550693 markjhoncebe https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550738 If I were to write a poem, it would be about the celebration of the Pride Movement. Many themes came to mind the moment I read the question, but this one resonated with me the most. Albeit the Pride Movement isn't solely about celebration, it is also a protest which waged an inspirational struggle on multiple fronts.]]> 2022-10-25 00:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550738 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550941 If I will be writing a poem, my theme would be about friendship.

But some friendship becomes stronger.]]> 2022-10-25 00:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354550941 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354551520 If I were to write a poem I think the theme will be about family. I think it is so beautiful to discuss and illustrate the relationship we might have with our loved ones. It is a complex thing, probably a love-hate relationship but your relationship with your family says a lot about what you are as an individual, your principles in life and I think it's nice to be able to turn that into a poem, because you share your values while expressing yourself through a poem.]]> 2022-10-25 00:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354551520 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354551605 If I were to write my own poem, the theme would be about exploring my sexuality as a teenager up to my adult days. I chose this theme because I want to target the younger readers about the journey that I've been through, to be an eye-opener about the things that they might encounter in the future as a person who lives within a different spectrum of sexuality and to learn that they are seen and accepted, that they are not different from heterosexual people.]]> 2022-10-25 00:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354551605 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354553643 If I were to write a poem, I will choose the them about hope. Sometimes we have unrealistic expectations, which leads to disappointment since we believe there is no other option. But when we have "hope," we are aware of and confident in how things will turn out. We all need to hold onto hope, whether we are experiencing difficulties or are simply forward to the future. Even though each of us goes through difficult moments, we must all have confidence that things will turn out better.

Everything comes to an end, but we don't have to wait for that time to come. We can maximize life's experiences so that we don't have any regrets when the time comes. ]]> 2022-10-25 01:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354554095 angiehagustin https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354555373 If I were to write a poem, my theme would be disappointment and failure. There are times in our life that we  experience disappointment and we feel that we are a failure so I wanted to give my reader something that will lift them up. Failure doesn’t mean end of your journey. It is okay to fail and feel disappointed as long as you continue to try and aim for success.Success will not be possible without disappointment and failure.

The poem will consist of two main subjects that are perfectly meant for each other but also a perfect representation of tragic fate bound by love. These symbols are "thunder" and "lightning", and we know the fact that they will never meet one another since it is against the law of physics: It is always the light that travels faster than the sound. It is like being in LOVE at some point, no matter how compatible you are with each other—its destiny that will never grant you to cross paths and to love each other dearly. It is like an impossible fight—defying the flow of things. Just like the typical stories which is comparable to Romeo and Juliet, Jack and Rose, and Elio and Oliver. I think if I make this poem, I can express different things like SADNESS, LONGINGNESS, AND ACCEPTANCE.  On how they are in the same dark skies, having to watch over the still earth. Thunder and lightning can never feel each others' touch like how raindrops reaches a withered land. Somehow I have this person in my life, but now, he is what I only considered as my greatest what-if.]]> 2022-10-25 01:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354560573 https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354641645 If I were to write a poem, I choose acceptance as a theme because a lot of us don't accept what we are because of the opinions of the people around us. It makes you feel down, conscious on your own body and emotion and it can also affect our mental health. By accepting who we are, we feel happy, contented, carefree, and makes ourselves feel welcome and tolerated in the society.]]> 2022-10-25 02:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maryannesmao/fc3t65ab0oc4bl3q/wish/2354641645
