Turn Off the TV! by Bruce Lansky

Sometimes the actions a society takes can affect many people but they can get through it. It shows that he gives his own opinions. My folks moved up To the state of Maine, We wore duck shoes In slicker-suit rain. The I do kiss. The speaker talks about a rose that grew in concrete. I think that people should not judge others by their material things or their looks.

Mess Of Poems

confession by bruce lansky

By the end of the poem he relates himself to something more peaceful and tranquil. At first I noticed that the speaker uses a sweet tone with the person. The observers would just keep noticing what people do and keep it to themselves. I wonder what was the cause of them drifting apart? The I know your tongue like the back of my hand kiss. I do not sleep.

. All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I was warm, so I took my jacket off And put my arm round your waist And drew you closer to me While you leaned your head on my shoulder. When the phone rings, I put it to my ear without saying hello. He suggests that any dream can come true but people have to put their own effort on it also. The speaker identifies that with all the lies people are getting, they are starting to believe it and not live by how life really works.

Gail Gerald's Musings: "Confession" by Bruce Lansky

confession by bruce lansky

When I read it, it made me say it in the tone of how the poet must have written it. The good side is when a person is in love and the other side is when someone is cheating on you. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand- How few! In the porch I met my father crying-- He had always taken funerals in his stride-- And Big Jim Evans saying it was a hard blow. Why are you beset with gloom? Afterwards it did make sense and it made it easier to understand. Don't water the kiss with whiskey. I realized I could also read any poem and not get very annoyed by it easily unless I'm not really understanding or into it very much. It seems to me that he does not care about the way he describes what he thinks, he just writes what's on his mind.

The speakers change in tone and choice of words depicts that sometimes people fear that they will not be able to make their dreams a reality but people have to try hard so it can come true and that will become a true accomplishment. I didn't clean the mess. Why are you beset with gloom? I did a lousy job. I really like this poem. I didn't clean the mess. Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask.

Finch begins her poem candidly showing how the person feels. Patrick Lewis When I was a boy In Looziana, We wore blue jeans And a red bandanna. I liked this poem because in just a couple of words the poet narrowed it down to explain how he loved that person. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. Maybe because the person he is talking about resembles something beautiful like a rose.

The boards are often a place to relax and be entertained by all kinds of subjects. The mood of this poem is cold. In the last two stanzas, the speaker continues being instructive to the person who is learning to live on their own. I really liked this poem because of the way the speaker expressed him self. Short Reflection: The reason why I choose these poems were notbecauseof the genre they stood in butbecauseof how they are about anything.

Confession

She gives all the reasons to why she should be careful in a big city. But this time the poet is saying the bad things that the teacher did. The tone is light and calm, the speaker views this as something usual that it can happen to anyone. One thing I did like is that they show the feelings of the speaker by using exclamation points. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. How did they die? I am the diamond glints on snow. Now that I have read a tone of poetry, Irealizethat poem isn't that boring and dull as I though it would be.

I paraphrased it and it did made sense, since sometimes pedestrianscan be dangerous if they do anything to you, thats what will make you weak. Help me shatter this darkness. But how is he doing this? I think that because people that do this job have to do this every day, and they do not have time to think about anything else but accomplishing what they have to do around the city. Does my sexiness upset you? I watched TV instead— while munching cookies, cakes, and chips and cinnamon raisin bread. Welcome to the Genes Reunited community boards! I think this because lascivious means desires and the last two words he says that it will be well shown. People have to find the one who will change them forever.

The speaker grows more frank by letting people know that this world is not working as it used to be. He describes them in a point of view of a teenager. Late at night, I call my long distance lover, proudly say I only used fifty-nine today. I feel so very guilty. I feel so very guilty. He knew from the beginning that she was a gold digger, and the reason she wanted to be with him was because of his money even though he was blinded by his emotions.
