Fail (don’t do it)
You’re more of a failure if we do it for you.
“Roses are red…violets are blue…”
do you know what sort of poem you want to write?
@breefield, your very right but we can try to help
just like one on an animal. Trust me I can NOT fail this class. If I don’t get at least a gpa of 3.2 my mom won’t have her friend find out Tim Curry’s mailing address. I’m not saying DO the poem for me. I just need help
I can get you started though.
What’s a topic / event that happened to you?
Oh well can you do a haiku? They’re pretty easy..
um I have a beagle. and no it can’t be haiku
Ok. Does it have to rhyme?
no it can but it doesn’t have to
ok well first figure out what its going to be about. Any animal in mind?
“Oh my dearest beagle, your fur like an ocean of grass,
Your face is so endearing,
When I pet you my heart turns to glass,
The sound of your bark is all I’ll be hearing…”
ok well you could write about something that she does everyday, or even what she’s doing right now! Just look at her and write down what you see then make it into a poem.
um…she is sleeping like usual. she is lazy
ok, first pick an animal…
then pick something that you want to say about that animal…
if you want inspiration, I would suggest looking at other great animal poems.
e.g., Ted Hughes’ Jaguar (scroll down)
Pick an animal, and pick about the qualities you want to talk abotu in that animal. For example, in this case Hughes is talking about the restless fury of the jagaur compared to the other animals…
Or you can try looking at things from the point of view of an animal. e.g., Cat in an Empty Apartment by Wislawa Szymborska.. (this one is about a cat trying to understand the death of her owner)
how about something like
Beagle
Girl’s best friend
What might you want to say about the laziness of a beagle?
Would you prefer to be a beagle or a human being (and why?)
What do you think bb thinks of your life, running in and out of the house?
Do you have specific incidents or strong memories of your time with bb that you would want to tap into?
If you want to talk about your friendship/loyalty, make it specific. Don’t just say “a girl’s best friend”.. talk about the time when [fill in the blank] ... describe all the juicy details..

usless writting mind? And I don’t think he would. Honestly, way to crush someone’s dreams jerk. I’m still going to do it. AND next year I will send him a birthday present!!!
How old are you? And who has such vain fantasies as marrying Tim Curry?
Mrs. During the time you have spent here, you could have written an epic poem about the Trojan war.
15. he is only 47 years older
i can’t write stupied poems!!! that’s why i need the help for it!!!
look pork I’m not ashamed to admit it. I need help. I cry when I see him in TV or on YouTube. I do need help. I proposed to myself on behalf of him. I know there is something wrong, but you don’t need to crush my dreams
By the time you are of worthy age, he would be old enough to your dad, in fact he is right now. I have no problem with Tim Curry but when people get to be over obsessed and fantasize over such impossible events, like marrying Tim Curry, it just goes way too far. And those are not dreams, that is a castle in the air, it is impossible to happen. Instead of wasting your times coming up with crazy illusions, you could work on your poet skills and maybe even achieve a 4.0 instead of a less than adequate 3.2. I hope you improve your writing skills because it is one of the most used skills in one’s life

No one can win in an argument against a person who lives in a fantasy world. I’m going to guess that cars fly backwards, fish have jobs and walk around, everybody eats butterflies and poops rainbows, and everybody is Tim Curry; I’m also going to say that I am dead on with prediction of your world.
Sounds like B.S. to MrKnowItAll.
Sounds like Tim Curry needs to get a restraining order
None of this lecturing is getting that poem written.
Okay, beagle named bb. First line:
Bb’s my beagle, and bb is lazy.
Second line:
Uh uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh crazy.
Fill in the dots, Mrs. Then get back to us. All you need is nine syllables. You can
write all about Tim Curry if you want in those nine syllables. GO.
Why not just write what you’d like the poem to say – in regular language. Then listen to a bunch of lyrical pop and steal some of their phrasings to say the same thing as you’d written down….....and voila!
any luck on the poem? That was over 4 hours ago.
Oh, and who the hell is Tim Curry? Am I totally lame for not knowing who he is? Haha. I’m not afraid to admit I dont know who he is.
Haha! Thanks wildflower..
I dont even know what to say. Are you serious, mrs.??
I like the punchline of Billy Collin’s poem!
@Life: Collins wasn’t Poet Laureate of the US for two successive terms (‘01—“03, I think) for nothing. If you are over forty, try this: Forgetfulness – posted in every book shop and library in the country, I think.
Off-topic, I know. Sorry.
And a big Whoops: Nemerov wrote “Walking the Dog” and Collins “Why I Don’t keep a Gun in the House from www.barkingdogs.net/ Sorry.
Mrs, are you still with us?
yea right here. This is what I have
A beagle.
A girl’s best friend
Lazy yet active
Quiet but loud
Small still protective
A beagle.
Nose stuck to the ground eating anything in sight she slowly maneuvers around the kitchen
All right it’s all finished. And I would like to thank everyone who helped me!!!
A beagle.
A girl’s best friend
Lazy yet active
Quiet but loud
Small still protective
A beagle.
Nose stuck to the ground eating anything in sight
She slowly maneuvers around the kitchen looking for something to bite
She makes her way to the sliding glass door
Looking outside thinking there’s more
With a big leap she’s off
Prancing about like there’s no tomorrow
A beagle.
