As I sat today trying to get the motivation to write yet another poem for Creative Writing class...I needed to focus. I needed to get in poetry mode...I needed to get inspired. So I went to google and I found my favorite poem, and I proceeded to read it over and over again, each time falling more in love with the beauty of the words (Sounds corny, I know, but it's the truth). I admit that the first time I ever heard this poem was actually on an episode of Baywatch. C.J. (Pamela Anderson) was "kidnapped" by her masked stalker, creating a Phantom of the Opera vibe. He read her poetry, she fell in love with him, and then he died. Such a good storyline...So anyway, when I heard him read this poem on the show, it instantly become my favorite.
Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;--
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
She was a child and I was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love--
I and my Annabel Lee--
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud by night
Chilling my Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me:--
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling
And killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we--
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in Heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:--
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea--
In her tomb by the side of the sea.
So after about an hour of thinking and brainstorming I finally began to write. I wrote...and wrote...and wrote...until I was finished with my poem. Then I rearranged and changed some things in order to incorporate all of the five components of poetry into my work (Don't even ask...it's stupid poetry stuff...). I am not completely pleased with the final result because let's face it, my poetry sucks. But here it goes anyway...my sad excuse for a poem...Not even remotely resembling the brilliance of Edgar Allen Poe...
The Rainbow
Fire burning in my soul, a happy heart
To have and hold. Abundance of passion for all mankind –
Red. The color that I call mine
Fascination frees my imprisoned
Mind (creative waves I cannot hide)
Through my skin determination shines –
Orange. The color that I call mine
Living life like I’ll die today: “Just be happy”
That’s what I say! Never a need to ever whine –
Yellow. The color that I call mine
Plant a seed. Watch it grow. Change
Your age, but never get old
You may be impatient, but don’t step out of line –
Green. The color that I call mine
Father. Son. Holy Ghost. Helping those who need
Help the most. If I fall down, HE’s not far behind –
Blue. The color that I call mine
Mysterious eyes that watch and glow, Mine
(The secret you’ll never know)
Magic ways with sweet sublime –
Purple. The color that I call mine
So I know that some of you may be worried that this blog is going to turn into my personal poetry journal. But don't worry. It's not. Because as soon as I write the two more required poems I am done with poetry! (At least until the next college class that requires me to write it....) Man, that sucks.

T.G.I.F.
It's going to be a wonderful weekend with two
of my most favorite girls in the world.
They are arguably the two most awesome people in the history of the world.
I mean, seriously. Aren't they precious.

Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face!
I'm singing in the rain. Just singing in the rain. What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again!
You know, some people see rain and think of dreary, cold, bad days. Well, not me! I look at rain and think of singing...and dancing...in the rain! Alright...I admit that sometimes rain puts me in a bad mood, but it's not really the rain that's putting me in a bad mood...it's the rain AND all my stress at the time. Right now I'm stressed (two exams tomorrow and no studying so far), but that doesn't mean I'm going to let the rain put me in a bad mood.
So I dressed according to the weather this morning and put on shorts and tennis shoes. I don't like to wear pants or capris when it's raining because they get wet. And I don't like to wear sandals because they always slip around when wet...and I certainly don't want to go falling on my face in the rain. Speaking of sandals...on my way to class today I saw one sandal on the sidewalk. How strange is that...? Just one...Seriously, how much in a hurry do you have to be to lose a sandal and not go back and get it...? "Oh, darn. Shoe fell off...no time...must keep walking..." Makes me laugh....
On my way back from class I was at first trying to avoid the big puddles...no sense in getting wet if you can help it. However, that didn't last very long. It was really raining out there! So I stepped in a couple of puddles and got my shoes wet. I'm talking, soak through the tennis shoe, making my feet wet. It felt good...the cold water....so I found myself purposedly walking in the puddles the rest of the way back to my dorm. I mean, let's face it. Once you're wet there's no point in avoiding getting wet some more. Bring on the wetness! While I walked I hummed the song, "Singing in the Rain" and I seriously would have danced and skipped through the puddles had there not been tons of people around..with angry faces....everyone looked so mad...I was probably the only person outside smiling.
So take my advice....don't ever let the rain put you in a bad mood...and don't ever be too rushed to go back and get your sandal...
Keep smiling :)
(and dancing...in the rain!)

I can only blame myself...
I was really excited about my Creative Writing class because I love to write! One of the assignments for the class is to write 12-15 minutes in a journal every day, which I have really come to love doing. It's nice to just sit and write about whatever you want. The only bad thing is that we're supposed to do it right after we wake up before we talk to anyone or have a chance to read anything. This presents a problem for me because I usually have nothing on my mind to write about except for sleep (since I just woke up). Therefore, I often opt to write later in the day so I have something to say...this is also probably because I don't like waking up extra early in the morning to do schoolwork...
Another assignment for the class is to read and write poetry. Now, don't get me wrong I can enjoy some good poetry every now and then. In fact, I even have some favorites: Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe and Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost come to mind. But you know what, I'm not the type of person who can sit down, read, and understand poetry. I'm just not that kind of person. The following is an exerpt from one of my journal entries about how much I don't really enjoy poetry (which might not have been a good idea considering there is a slight chance the professor might read it sooner or later...)
"I just really don't like reading poetry poetry and tyring to analyze what it's really about. If the author really wanted us to get it then why couldn't they just say what they meant instead of using all this symbolic metaphorical language? I don't get what they're saying half the time and when I do have an idea I'm usually wrong. That's another thing that irks me about poetry. Who's to say that my interpretation of a poem is wrong and yours is right? How do you know? Unless the meaning of the poem comes directly from the author's mouth who's to say that one idea is more accurate than another? I say that the only person who really understands a poem is the author and the rest of us should leave it alone.
Now about writing poetry...Well, quite frankly I just hate it. I'm not a poet. I don't know how to be original and metaphorical. I don't pretend to know how. If I write a poem it's going to be cut and dry, easy to understand. I am not a poet! I hate being forced to write poetry because I know I suck and what comes out on my paper is embarassing. As far as I'm concerned I'd rather paint myself blue and run around campus screaming, "I'm a smurf!" Anything to avoid writing poetry!
But alas, I am a college student and I am in a Creative Writing class that I voluntarily signed up for. I have to write poetry. My grade depends on it. Therefore, Mr. Steven P. Lansky, I will read your poetry, and I will write your poetry, but I will not like it, and I will not be good at it!"
And now...after that arguably long introduction...my first attempt at poetry...
Reckless Driving
The days go by like cars on a highway
No time to notice the scenes we drive by
Taking advantage of life has become so cliché
Our avoidance of blessings we casually deny
If only we could add a few stop lights to the road
Or maybe some stop signs at the least
But what difference would it make if this gift we bestow?
Our oblivion would stay, for it’s our hearts that need released
We must roll down the window; smell the green of the earth
Slow down to study the blur of the faces
For a new way of life we must force a rebirth
A way to get back into God’s gentle graces
What more can I say to express what I’m feeling –
We all have lives, but is anyone living?
I hate poetry and it hates me back!
Hating school, but loving life :)

Bear with me (corrected from Bare with me) Also, Jimmy Lingenfelter is mean.
Well...if you're a dedicated reader you can obviously see that I've been messing around with my blog. My original idea was to do a complete makeover for my blogsite, but things just aren't going my way...First I wanted to change the templete to something other than what's offered through the blogsite, but I couldn't get that to work...Then I tried to change my picture, and that was a semi failed attempt. Then I wanted to think of a new name, and I'm still toying around with options.
So for now this is what I'm stuck with...I'll probably try to change it soon or sometime in the future, but quite frankly I'm sick of messing around with this and trying to figure it out! Why do I have to be so computer illiterate?! Oh well...I'll just have to make do, and unfortunately so will you. If you're a true blogger you'll keep reading anyway, and if you're a true friend you'll give me some imput on what to do. Heehee.
Loving life,
Katherine
