"...the best words in the best order."- Samuel Taylor Coleridge

My Poetry: I like to keep my poetry style as simple as possible, just have it ryhme A then A then B then B and so forth, however sometimes I like to go for the whole A then B then A then B and so on and even keep the same amount of syllables on each line so it sounds best. I would not say that I have a specific style, then again I don't go home and write poetry, but tell me to do write a specific thing and I will try to do it.

Ode Tara you are my dog, You are nice, You sleep a lot, But its all good, I would too if i had nothing else to do, You are there for me a lot, I thank you for that, When I come home your very happy, You are the best dog

Sonnet Hey you why did you make these things sonnets? They are really stupid hard to write it You should have stuck with plays instead of these Why Shakespeare did you have to be so hard

Ghazal Follow what you believe in For that is what your life has been, what you believe in,

It is something to fight for No matter what, even if it’s a sin, as long as you believe in,

What can you lose? Whatever it is, as long as you believe in,

The world is quite a system, It’s screwed up, if you believe in,

Always question everything, See the other side, as long as you believe in,

Start debates, Whatever you want to, if you believe in,

Don’t worry about the past, You may not always win, as long as you believe in,

Learn from mistakes, No matter what it takes, just believe in,

Life, What is it? As long as you believe in,

Live it to the fullest, Nothing is impossible, As long as you believe in,

You gotta fight, Never go down, if you believe in. code Alone by, Edgar Allen Poe

From childhood's hour I have not been As others were--I have not seen As others saw--I could not bring My passions from a common spring-- From the same source I have not taken My sorrow--I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone-- And all I lov'd--//I// lov'd alone-- //Then//--in my childhood--in the dawn Of a most stormy life--was drawn From ev'ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still-- From the torrent, or the fountain-- From the red cliff of the mountain-- From the sun that 'round me roll'd In its autumn tint of gold-- From the lightning in the sky As it pass'd me flying by-- From the thunder, and the storm-- And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view--

Analysis This poem is "Alone" by Edgar Allen Poe expresses much of his emotion, knowing the background of this poet, he had a very dark and emotional life. I believe what he is saying in "And all I lov'd--//I// lov'd alone" is that his whole life, he grew up his whole life with out the opportunity to share a love for something or someone with something or someone. In other words, he missed out on a lot of things in his life and he was upset about it.
