Book that changed my life!

The one book that really changed my life is the bible. Before I really committed myself to Christ, I never really read the bible unless it was at youth group or church. But now that I actually dig into the book it has made so many changes in my life. Its a total guide for my life and I dont know what I would do with out it. It makes me feel safe when Im scared because I feel God's presence with me as I read it. It helps me decide right from wrong. And best of all its helping me prepare eternity with the Lord. I feel like this book has the biggest effect on people, on christians and non-christians.

Rough draft of my love sonnet: To my boyfriend of 6 years!

This love started in high school freshman year
Didn't know this love would be serious
Now I can not stand when you are not near
For everday makes me more curious

You know how to make me laugh when I'm sad
I love that you take me on dates fishing,
and greet me with flowers when I am mad,
and the way it feels when we are kissing

I couldn't imagine life without you
I still think of everything we've gone through,
but there is nothing that could break us two
Together we have and will stay, who knew?

I would love to someday be Mrs. Lee
but not until you get on that one knee

Found poetry

Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them as poetry by making changes in spacing and/or lines, or by altering the text by additions and/or deletions. I have never heard of this kind of poetry but I love it. This will probably be my favorite assignment of the year! I also would like to add, I thought it was so funny when the girl read the paper posted on the door. As I watched the professor's face, it looked as if he were a child waking up to christmas morning. He just looked so happy. I wish I would get that excited about reading a piece of paper done by a janitor posted on the door. I dont think I will do that piece however. I found one at the place I work (Excel PT) that I would like to put together. "If spine or neck diagnosis, if female, bring sports bra or bathing suit top for evaluation. Otherwise a gown will be used." It will be a challenge to make that into a masterpiece poem, but Im excited!

Poems, poems, poems

As I read "Batter my heart, three-personed God" I felt like there was alot of emotions. To me the reader is talking about how he/she is trying to stay true to the three-personed God (Father, son, and Holy spirit) but its hard because his/her enemy (Satan) is engaging him/her into things that are not right. The reader says she/he still loves the three-personed God but he/she is weak. This I think relates to alot of believers. I know I struggle with sin every single day. But I still love the Lord and hope that He forgives me of my sins. When it says "never shall be free" I think it might be talking about the devil. One is never free of sin and the devil is everywhere you go. When I read William Shakespeare's "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" I thought is was very unromantic and mean. I thought he was judging his mistress on the way she looks, smells, sounds, and even moves. I noticed at the end it says "I think my love as rare", I wonder if he meant that everyone goes for "looks" but he looks on the inside. I never really understand Shakesphere. Im excited to talk about these poems in class cause it will be intersting to find out what they really mean!

Sonnet is just a poetic form. Its the words that make it special. I feel like Shaksphere's are good, but they are all very lovey dovey. Thats not really my style. Im goofy and dont really take anything seriously. So when I write my sonnet to my significant other (Billy) its not going to be how much I love him or how his eyes make me melt. It will be wierd and goofy like him! I dont think there is anything wrong with writing a goofy sonnet if that is more you. I know Billy would way rather hear a funny sonnet than a sonnet about my "love for him". Also just wanted to say I thought Garrets story was hilarious and he is such a great artist!

love sonnet to the best friend I love!

So today at the end of class we talked about writing a love sonnet. Professor talked about how sometimes people write them to their pets and thats when I thought about my dog, Zoey. she is my best friend and who better to write it to then your best friend. So i wrote one about Zoey instead of to Zoey.

My Best Friend

Zoey is my beautiful golden retriever
She is my true best friend whom I love
She makes me feel better when I'm home with a fever
She does get into trouble when she proudly brings home a dove
She loves to eat just like me
Her favorite things are playing catch and a belly rub
We call her a lap dog becuase she sits on my knee
She loves water and never hesitates to jump in the tub
She plays forever and will do anything for a snack
When zoey is around, I know I will have fun
Even though she is a dog, I know she will have my back
I love her and she will always be my number one
