Journal Promt: Did Janie find the love she desired? Explain.
Janie found the love she desired…or so she said
We can’t be sure, however, because, sadly, Tea Cake’s dead.
She did leave that one town and bad memories she had there
With Tea Cake she could express herself, and also free her hair
Although he beat her in front of everyone, she still stayed with him
And when that storm came, they stayed together as the wind gave the house a trim
When Janie got attacked by a dog, Tea Cake rescued her.
But then he contracted the rabies that were hidden in the dog’s fur.
As Tea Cake grew crazy, Janie did not run.
Until things got out of hand, and she shot him with a gun.
Today in 1st period AP Lit
I look lost in the back as I sit
Ms Yu is teaching class
I’m sitting on my ass
But seriously, I hate this hell pit
My cousin Kelly
wrote a poem about grass
as her first haiku
Immitation Poem - "Where I'm From by George Ella Lyons"
(the below is my poem - the link is the original)
I am from the same place as a nomad
from no where
I am from Hawaii, Virginia, Japan and Maryland.
I am from places that can’t claim ownership over me.
Whose inhabitants stay there until their hair turns grey and their trees give up on life.
I am from hockey pucks gliding, baseballs rolling
I am from footballs flying and basketballs bouncing
From sitting with Lloyd on the couch that suffocates us 7 days a week
I am from spending my only time with him, yelling at a plastic tv
I am from Hell. I am each of the 7 deadly sins.
From overeating like gluttony, oversleeping like sloth, raging out during hockey like wrath while checking out players like lust. Envious of my brother, greedy during meal time, and proud of this poem.
I am from a land full of judgement that needs to accept me as I am.
You know I love you, right?
Can you tell how I brighten when you’re in sight?
Can I take this time to thank you?
Do you know I appreciate everything you do?
How can you even put up with me?
When I’m around, how do you not flee?
How does one human being have so much to share?
How did you reach me from all the way up there?
How did you so effortlessly pull me out of my depressions?
How, as a child, did you teach me all these life lessons?
How are we so completely different..yet exactly the same?
When I bitch and moan, how do you not think my problems are lame?
How do you keep me from going insane in the head?
Is it because you’re such a beautiful friend?
Do you know how you make my life so much better?
And, do you know, I want to be sisters forever?
Tap, tap, tap! Go my claws
The grammar in my blog posts yield no flaws
Silently sitting, sipping some tea
Interacting with strangers from across the sea!
They all find me funny, and a little unique.
And then there are online bullies, who call me a freak
Meow! Meow! Meow! I laugh at you
Liking all my blog posts, as if they were true.
Hello!? I’m a furry feline, that icon isn’t me!
But from the internet, I shall not flee
And if you see my blog and think I’m a twat,
Who cares! Because on the internet, no one knows you’re a cat
Dr. Nemish fell down the stairls.
In all honesty, who really cares?
She probably fell
Because of her smell.
Lost like a loser in the jungle
Many mammals like monkeys
Silently surround me now
Gotta get out… super swiftly
I’m currently in a boring meeting
I can see a lady, totally sleeping.
The meeting lead can definately see her.
Quickly! She needs a sleeping cure
Before someone see, and calls her out
She won’t know what the meeting was about
And she can’t get the notes I’m recording
Because I’m not paying attention since this meeting is so boring
Hey time, fuck you
I hate how you make everything due
at a specific time and format
and how you “run” out just like that.
I hate how you go on your merry way
Not caring about your impact on anyone’s day
Why don’t you slow the hell down?
So in every moment I can smile, not frown
Geeze your routine is killing me
Please, Time, just let me be
I want to lay here but still get things done
Now where are you going? Please don’t run…
