on Sonnet XVII: I do not love you as if you were brine-rose, topaz by Pablo Neruda, on September 4, 2008

Homework
When i read this poem by Neruda i was blown away. It was one of those poems that just was really spot on. I liked line 10 it is just right. To love is not about the complexions but of the things in common. Pride though that is no way to be in a loving relationship but understanding would be better way to put things. If you are understanding things go very smooth and that is the best thing to do. So I would really tell people that this poem is great and is good for reading to a loved one.
on If.... by Rudyard Kipling, on September 4, 2008

Homework
when i read this poem i thought of it as an inspiration. there was a few lines that sums up what should be the thoughts of our team.If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:that to me says that if you win horay and if not don't make a big deal out of it. when i read this like most it sounded really like a modern day poem. So inspiration is the label i put on this poem
