I wish . . .

Okay so I wrote a poem because I was hideously board out of my mind and because I have to make two posts a week. I made a link to it because this blog is absolutly stupid and it doesn't look good if I put it on here so I put it on a different one and made a link to it so to veiw my poem just click on the link! Please leave your comments on what you think (on this blog)! Thanks!

Moonlight Dance

Okay so I wrote a song this summer and since songs are technically poems I'm pretty sure I can post this on here . . . plus I want to know if the lyrics are good enough to record so leave your comments or vote on the pole to the side and tell me what you think! Thanks!


Moonlight Dance

You’ve got my heart in headlock,
My head in a daze.
I’m dead when you’re not here.
I can’t feel.
I can’t breath.
In the dark of the night
It all comes crashing down.
When I don’t have to pretend
I’m not happy without you

Chorus:
See the silver lined cloud,
Feel the magic in your heart,
Hear the music in the air,
So shhh! don’t ruin the moment.

My heart aches for you,
Your fiery touch,
Your kiss of comfort,
Your arms wrapped around me,
Your hands to dry my tears.
You have my heart locked
Inside your secret box,
And the key: Under your captivity

Chorus

Bridge:
As my pulse beats faster
To match the tempo of the music
I can't help but think of you.
What would I do without you?
How could I live without you?
And whenever it rains I think of you,
Wondering if you’re thinking of me too.
Remembering how you promised me
That kiss in the rain.

Chorus

Is it better for a book to make you FEEL something (emotions) or to be WELL WRITTEN?

My dad and I had a discussion like this in the car a while ago. We were talking about what's really a great book because I really didn't want to read the reading summer list because I thought they would all be really boring, either because I couldn't relate to them in any way at all or just because they were too complicated for me to understand at all.
I got on this huge tangent on how the Twilight Saga were my favorite books and they were good books to me because they made me FEEL emotions and I could totally relate to them even though I did agree with him that they were poorly written. My question was "Who cares if it's not the best written book in the world? Isn't it a good book if you can feel what the characters in the book are feeling?".
On the other hand I guess the generic stereotypical definition of a good book is biased on if it's well written. I CANNOT read something and get something out of it if I CANNOT relate to it. I get board and I zone out, then to me it's not a good book.

Why Bother With Socratic Seminar?

• I should bother studying world history because it might help me later on in my life like if I want to be a world history teacher some day (which I doubt I will but whatever). Also I have to study for my tests so I can get good grades and get into a good college, plus it will make me smarter and seem more intelligent and could help me get a good job. You can never learn too much! Also you can use that information to look at what has happened in history and you can see the mistakes that other people made so you don't make the same mistakes.
• I should bother studying literature because it will make me smarter and can help me expand on my vocabulary and ideas. Also literature can make you think and raise good questions that challenge your brain and it will also help you with college.
• I should bother studying language arts because it can help me understand other cultures ( At least I think it does that? I'm not really sure what it is ). Again it will help me get more smart and obtain more knowlege.
• I should bother studying geography because it shows me where different countries in the world are located which is a good thing to know. Also you can learn major landmarks like big mountain ranges and deserts and rainforests and things like that and that's important so if a teacher is talking about a specific country than you can know what the conditions are like there which can help with the understanding of that country.
