Book of Knowledge

From the ground up-lesson 1

The poem, the road not taken http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15717, has a rhyming scheme of a, b, a b, a, it has five lines per stanza, it does have a good flow, with about 9 syllables per line. Well, I know I can be wrong here. It has a sad tone, maybe here the poet regrets something he has not done. It has a good rhythm.

I've also read "Dreams" by Langston Huges which has 2 stazas with 4 lines per stanza. This one's something I can relate to, as it illustrates my feelings. it has eight syllables per line. It has an inspirational tone. http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/16075.


My poem for this lesson:

Wish I had a twin

A girl who would help me to win

Any battle that comes my way

With a smile she would just make my day.

Wish I had a sister

Someone who would be a similar fighter

A friend who would always be there for me

Through thick and thin, whatever it might be.

Wish I had a friend

Someone who would pull be back from a dead end

Without thinking of her own benefits

That would give my life it's own beats.
