poetry

my favorite poem would have to be fire and ice by Robert Frost....it talks about both the good and the bad in the world...and how we have to live and deal with both...there is no way to live with just the good parts... you have to take the bad along with it...the bad parts of life make us who we are...why we do what we do...why we act the way we act...

 Fire and Ice
Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice

this poem is one i wrote...its no Robert Frost but i think its pretty good... i wrote it a while back in high school...the assignment was to write a poem about a topic without actually using the word...mine was on stars....this poem is actually published in the 2009 "a celebration of poets"...


stars
Danielle Jennings

Shining bright
Twinkling throughout the night
Inspiring wishes
And making them come true
Gazing up to the heavens
Wondering what to do
The troubles of life
Begin to fade
We get lost in the wonder
And greatness of it all
One small object
Inspiring us all
poems are about thier true feelings...sometimes they are discussed but if you read closely you can always tell...poems are the window to someones soul...i think that is why i like poems so much...sometimes they are inspiring...sometimes they just relate to how you are feeling yourself..sometimes its a bit of both...lets say you are depressed..there's gonna be a poem out there that says what you feel but gives you hope because you know that the writer got through it to...poems can make you feel however you want...you can take them however you want...poems are up to the reader...i think thats why i like poems...because even though someone else wrote it...inside it feels like they wrote it about you...
