All of us around stare
He is mean and brings doom
No emotion, face bare

And he is an introvert, soft spoken
And everyone listened when he talked
But he was different like a rare token
He kept to himself, proudly walked

And he was misleading- yes wanted to be someone else
When I saw him I wanted to help mend
He didn’t like anyone including himself
But It turns out he's the one with the most friends]]> 2017-03-07 16:16:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bridget_hart11/vaj422nxf2z8/wish/158395080 https://padlet.com/bridget_hart11/vaj422nxf2z8/wish/158752362 The time period of this poem is between the REALISM AND MODERNISM PERIODS.

a tiger lily

on a hot summer day

maintaining balance and strength.

The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands damp and brown
The traveller hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.


Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.


The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
The day returns, but nevermore
Returns the traveller to the shore,
And the tide rises, the tide falls. ]]> 2017-03-17 14:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bridget_hart11/vaj422nxf2z8/wish/160814047 bridget_hart11 https://padlet.com/bridget_hart11/vaj422nxf2z8/wish/160815331 Hendry Wadsworth Longfellow was born February 27, 1807 and died March 24th, 1882 and was a well known American poet.

at a printing plant
that manufactured legal pads:
Yellow paper
stacked seven feet high
and leaning
as I slipped cardboard
between the pages,
then brushed red glue
up and down the stack.
No gloves: fingertips required
for the perfection of paper,
smoothing the exact rectangle.
Sluggish by 9 PM, the hands
would slide along suddenly sharp paper,
and gather slits thinner than the crevices
of the skin, hidden.
The glue would sting,
hands oozing
till both palms burned
at the punch clock.

Ten years later, in law school,
I knew that every legal pad
was glued with the sting of hidden cuts,
that every open law book
was a pair of hands
upturned and burning.]]> 2017-03-17 15:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bridget_hart11/vaj422nxf2z8/wish/160819304 bridget_hart11 https://padlet.com/bridget_hart11/vaj422nxf2z8/wish/160819691 Martin Espada is a Latino poet born August 7, 1957 who focuses his poem themes to be based on Puerto Rico.
