Trochaic Foot (closest to modern English speech):
Earth, receive an honoured guest;
William Yeats is laid to rest:
Let this Irish vessel lie
Emptied of its poetry. - W.M. Auden
Iambic Foot (most of Shakespeare):
If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before. - Twelfth Night, Shakespeare
Jabberwocky
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Homework
ReplyDeleteI don’t like to do my homework
I hope there’s not much thing to do
But I really have to work
I can say that I hate it too
Game
It is fun playing the game
But I waste my time
It is the best
But I do not make nest.
iPod
It is to play on my iPod
It is like the best god
I like the good mitten
I also like kittens
File
It is to like my file
It can be pile
But it is not a tile
And it doesn’t run a mile

ReplyDeleteDespair and Hope
Despair will always chase your back,
And trying best to hide itself.
But it will change to fearful monster,
When you are feeling lots of pain.
It will rip your calmness out!
It will bite your happy thoughts!
It will eat your kindness up!
It will swallow EVERYTHING!
But, there’s one more thing that follows you.
It is widely known as a hope.
No one knows where hope comes from,
But, hope will always stay with you.
When darkness tries to mess you up,
Forever hope will be with you.
When hope guards you toward the light,
You’ll find a way to reach your dreams.
S.Y.
Me
ReplyDeleteTrochaic: I am very loud,
I don’t concentrate,
The teacher gets annoyed.
I don’t want to be quiet.
I’ve got too much energy,
I’m like a bouncing ball.
I got no energy left?
Then I need my coffee.
Iambic: But somehow I’m lazy.
In the early morning,
I don’t want to wake up.
Let me sleep in my bed.
I play games way too much,
It’s the same for YouTube.
But it is really fun
And you can sit and relax.

A Day With My Friends
ReplyDeleteIt was a day with my friends
I was exited on that day
When all my friends came to play
And we tried to have fun
There were a lot of people
Who visit the amusement park
But we just ran to the ride
That my friends all like
When the ride was over
The photo was taken
At just the right time
Funny faces everywhere
Amusement park was closed
We wanted to play more
But we were also tired
But friends and I had fun

ReplyDeleteIambic poem
I know I don’t exist.
I know I just died now.
I feel I’m still alive.
My life will never end.
I can’t erase you from my head.
I can’t forget you from my heart.
You’re always my bright highlighter.
Cause you just made me shine.
Trochaic
I know I’m not smart.

Or can’t I imagine?

ReplyDeleteIambic Poem:
We played so much together today,
You know we were playing all day.
I think we are friends for ever,
I can’t wait to play again.
The only time I’m free is when,
You know, when my mom’s away.
Because she’s always upset,
When she knows I always play.
Trochaic Poem:
Some has long,
Some has less,
Time is different,
Till the death.
We live long.
But it’s too long,
Cuz we can,
Really get bored.

You can see the beautiful thing.
Cloudy
It is dark and boring day.
It may rain but,
It may sunny.
I hope the weather will be sunny
Snow
Snow doesn’t falls many times in Tokyo.
Children go to outside,
And, play with snow until the night.
A special day.

They are always helping me.
They are bad at going to the washroom
But, I sleep with them.
Me and the cats are connected

I am not going to forget them
I love them forever.
