REMBEMBER POEM

=__**Do You Remember...Because I Do**__ **( revised ONE )** =

 I remember when we said our goodbyes
by. samantha Boyd

__ **Ode To The Forgotten** __

Ode to the people who were forgotten They were once loved and cared for

Ode to their lives Everyday they hurt While in desperation for love and generosity.

Ode to their heart That was torn apart viciously With little consideration Of their inner feelings

Ode to their memories That bring back happiness Or to the ones That are very vague.

Ode to those who have tried Those who haven't given up The ones that will keep climbing For them life hasn't been easy. By. Samantha Boyd

SONIA SANCHEZ
Sonia Sanchez is a powerful poet and her writing has so much to give off. The way she writes tell a story in a way for example in a poem that she wrote called “Ballad” she tell about a young person falling in love and she is say to the young one “ what do you know about love you are way to young to know any thing about love” the way she is able to say that with out even saying that in exact words is so good. In her poems I have also noticed that she uses all lower case letters I think that is her signature of her writing. She likes to play with her form of writhing also. She writes directly from her head it looks like. She also puts her personal believes, thoughts and also observations in to her writing. The way she writes she wants you to see where she is coming from. Her pomes have reputation in it to show what part of the poem is important and to show what might be the main idea of the poem.

A POEM BY HER THAT I REFERRED BACK TO...

Ballad- Written by Sonia Sanchez
forgive me if i laugh you are so sure of love you are so young and i too old to learn of love.

the rain exploding in the air is love the grass excreting her green wax is love and stones remembering past steps is love, but you. you are too young for love and i too old.

once. what does it matter when or who, i knew of love. i fixed my body under his and went to sleep in love all trace of me was wiped away

forgive me if i smile young heiress of a naked dream you are so young and i too old to learn of love.

A Riff Poem - By. Samantha Boyd

Above all the abuse Above all the hurt Still i rise Above all the lies Above all the torture Still i rise Above all the name calling Above all the manipulation But above all of the above Still i rise

In my mind's eye - **A sonnet poem by. samantha boyd**

In my mind's eye/seeing through my soul. I think of things benign/though as a whole. I pretend with words to control,things my heart may hide. Standing in the shade of fiction,i reveal a dark addiction. To thoughts darker than a hole,of nurturing light denied Inner secrets,tall in woe,stand side by side,hand in hand.

In my mind's eye/creating life in words I dream of things a far cry,from normal life assured. Write with poems;existence in my mind's realm! Ah! Raise the swords,you warriors of the pen..fly! High!Weild your words,our banners flapping in the inky sky.

In my mind's eye/looking for the truth I dream of things pushing me/towards,away,from lies that soothe. The relief from the pain that truth rewards. Someday I'll bridge the vaccum,Raise my hand in the classroom. Knowing I know the answer,to the questions life puts forward.

My pomes are all about my life in how I feel in a way. I was able to take what we have been learning in English class about poetry and put it into my work. We had to work on a remembrance poem I was able to take the love and the fact that I missed him and know that he is no longer in my life I was able to put my feeling for that in to my work for a poem. I had to do a ode poem so I chose to do mines on the one that think they are forgotten because I know how it feel to think that someone has for gotten about you so was able to take the fact that a ode poem is about something that you love or feel strongly about and put it in to a poem. I did a riff poem off of Maya Anglo and I took the line from her poem still I rise and wrote a poem about how I over come things and still I rise above them. My sonnet poem is about my life and how I hide feeling and want to strive for more and want more and when I write my mind just goes elsewhere. I am happy to be able to relate my poems for this unit to my life it help me in so many ways while at the time still learning the material that I need to know to write these incredible poems.
