A Winter Walk


Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Shitznoodle who enjoyed exploring. She always dreamed of a beautiful place that will make her happy. She was three feet tall and skinny as a stick. She was wearing warm clothing and a cute brown pair of Uggs. She stood in front of an amazing forest that had thin, tall tress that were covered with soft snow. As she walked further and further down snowy forest, she noticed everything began to melt. Instead of falling snowflakes, there was falling sunshine. She looked around and saw flowers of different colors, butterflies, and a rainbow. She even saw a pink unicorn pass by. As she looked up, the sun smiled, and she smiled back. There she discovered a whole new world that made her stay and never return back home.

I've been looking for the perfect song and poem. I was listening to Nichole Nordeman's and Amy Grant's song, and I would classify their song "I'm With You" as a poem. Here are the lyrics:

1) Love is a hurricane in a blue sky.

    I didn't see it coming never knew why.

   All the laughter and the dreams

   All the memories in between

   Washed away in a steady stream.

2) Love is a hunger; a famine in your soul.

    I thought I planted beauty but it would never grow.

   Now i'm on my hands and knees

   Trying to gather up my dreams

   Trying to hold on to anything.

3) We could shake our fists

     In times like this,

    When we don't understand

    Or we could just hold hands.

[Chorus]

You and me; me and you.

Where you go I'll go too.

I'm with you. I'm with you.

'Til your heart finds a home,

I won't let you feel alone.

I'm with you. I'm with you, with you.

4) You do your best to build a higher wall.

    To keep love safe from every wrecking ball.

    When the dust is cleared, we will

    See the house that love rebuilt;

    Guarding beauty that lives here still.

  

[Chorus]

It's you and me; me and you...

5) Who can say I'm left with nothing?

    When I have all of you. All of you. Yeah.

     In the way you've always loved me.

     I remember he does too.

[Chorus]

It's you and me; me and you... 2x

"I'm With You" has rhyme, and what makes this song a poem is the symbol ("To keep love safe from every wrecking ball."), the allegory ("Love is a hunger; a famine in your soul."), and the metaphor ("Love is a hurricane in a blue sky."). Therefore, I believe "I'm With You" by Nichole Nordeman and Amy Grant is a fabulous song and poem.

Title: The First Marriage by Peter Meinke (Wedding)
Why?: I chose this poem because it reminds me of my parents. They are the perfect couple in my eyes. I feel that they set an example of a beautiful marriage for my family members and myself. They have an amazing story behind their love. They have been married for forty-two years, and their love is still growing. They had ten children including myself. Although they go through their tough times, they still manage to be calm and find a way to solve their problems. I have to say I love my parents!

2. Rhinoceros or Berenger: I have been a rhinoceros when I am angry at someone or when something goes wrong. I have been a rhinoceros when I cry; crying is a way of releasing all of my feelings.
