Poetry

Chu-Chu

Chuchu,
Has the moment I know you
we were connected.
Your eyes and mine met together,
Our destiny is to be together.
on this days I never stop on think of you.
Your smell is like sweet chocolate,
As you smile kill me.
If anything ever happen to you
I may die.
The way you touch me,
it froze my entire live.
I wish to see everyday
for kiss those red lips that make me crazy!
Crazy is the word for this love
because I can't breath without you.
I wish to have you in front of me,
I love you.

Poem

My Papa's Waltz
By :Theodore Roethke

The whiskey on your breath

Could make a small boy dizzy;

But I hung on like death:

Such waltzing was not easy.

We romped until the pans

Slid from the kitchen shelf;

My mother’s countenance

Could not unfrown itself.

The hand that held my wrist

Was battered on one knuckle;

At every step you missed

My right ear scraped a buckle.

You beat time on my head

With a palm caked hard by dirt,

Then waltzed me off to bed

Still clinging to your shirt.

Imagery : Breath ,wrist ,ear.

Rhyme : (buckle , knuckle) (breath, death)

Theme : The theme of this poem is that a father and his son don't spend a lot time together so the father come home drunk and his son is waiting for him wake them they start to play around.

Hunting and Murder.

Dictionary definitions

Hunting: The act of a person, animal, or thing that hunts.

Murder: Law. The killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law. In the U.S., special statutory definitions include murder committed with malice aforethought, characterized by deliberation or premeditation or occurring during the commission of another serious crime, as robbery or arson (first-degree murder), and murder by intent but without deliberation or premeditation (second-degree murder).

Mr. Reinsford’s met this guy that on the first instant that they knew each other they had a lot of things in common. Both often like to hunt and their have they same kind of thing but in one moment everything was gone. Mr: Zaroff’s tell him his new hobby. He confesses that he were hunting for a lot of years, also that he brought the island for hunt. He also has a collection of different heads of animals that he hunts during his years as a hunter. But that he now was bored of being hunting animal. His new hobby now is hunted not animals, but humans. Mr. Reinsford’s reaction was like he could not believe it because he were committed a murder. Hunting and murder are totally different because is when a person hunt for have fun or for food, but when you murder you are killing somebody that is equal than you a human being. In my opinion hunting is not that bad because people are doing this during years and decades, but murder is a crime is not good because people can’t decide on other life’s.
