chu_totoroonce there lived a giant tree,
a thing of ancient lore.
but then the woodsmen cut it down,
and stripped it to its core.
they stripped the branches of its leaves,
the body of its bark.
and then they called in analysts
to study every mark.
one by one the experts came
to analyze it through,
ignoring, all, the tree's shrill pain
and the respect it was due.
the tree was meant to shelter men
and shield them from the sun;
for them to look up to in awe
and feel their life begun.
now it lay, a broken heap,
its glory done and gone.
fore'er dead to the breath of life
and the light of dawn.
I dislike analyzing poetry. :o
but more importantly, I'm sick of writing LYRIC POETRY. Concrete language and concrete details, that's what she trains you to do. And it's helpful, but if you do too much of it you lose your direction and it becomes a bunch of BS. because those poems are so easy to BS. I'd rather just write a stupid poem like the above with random words that rhyme but it rolls off the tongue so much more nicely and I'm just sick of reading so much pointless description of some pointless object, rawr. I mean sometimes it's done well, but mostly everyone half BSes everything and it's LAME.
I should turn this in next time we have a free poem and see what she says...
in other news, INTO THE WOODS begins today!! 4 shows, today tomorrow and the weekend. Come see it people~! SHS PAL center, go to our website to get info. :DDDDD
(It's realllllly funny. I'm in pit so I barely see any of it, but it's really good!! ^__^ next time I'm crewing~)
