Drew

by [|Robert Frost]
The poems poetic device in the poem is a simile. the reason why it compares two things using like or as. The story goes on about the choices a solider makes. then about the journey a solider has to overcome ||
 * He is that fallen lance that lies as hurled, That lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust, But still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust. If we who sight along it round the world, See nothing worthy to have been its mark, It is because like men we look too near, Forgetting that as fitted to the sphere, Our missiles always make too short an arc. They fall, they rip the grass, they intersect The curve of earth, and striking, break their own; They make us cringe for metal-point on stone. But this we know, the obstacle that checked And tripped the body, shot the spirit on Further than target ever showed or shone.

an old friend Snow fell in the night. At five-fifteen I woke to a bluish mounded softness where the Honda was. Cat fed and [|coffee] made, I broomed snow off the car and drove to the Kearsarge Mini-Mart before Amy opened to yank my Globe out of the bundle. Back, I set my cup of coffee beside Jane, still half-asleep, murmuring stuporous thanks in the aquamarine morning. Then I sat in my blue chair with blueberry bagels and strong [|black coffee] reading news, the obits, the comics, and the sports. Carrying my cup twenty feet, I sat myself at the desk for this day's lifelong engagement with the one task and desire.

|| **# 28** [|on top 500 Poems] |||| || I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I watered it in fears, Night and morning with my tears; And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night, Till it bore an [|apple] bright. And my foe beheld it shine. And he knew that it was mine, And into my garden stole When the night had veiled the pole; In the morning glad I see My foe outstretched beneath the tree. William Blake the type of poetic device that was used in this poem was rhyme. the reason is everyother line has a ryme. then it goes on about how a girl and her friend are fighting. ||  ||   ||

** Ghosts ** //by Fannie Stearns Davis// ||  ||   ||   ||
 * [[image:http://www.thingsthatgoboo.com/images/ghoststearns.gif width="75" height="94" align="center" caption="Ghosts by Fannie Stearns Davis"]]
 * //I am almost afraid of the wind out there. The dead leaves skip on the porches bare,The windows clatter and whine.I sit here in the quiet house. low-lit. With the clock that ticks and the books that stand. Wise and silent, on every hand.// //I am almost afraid; though I know the night Lets no ghosts walk in the warm lamplight.Yet ghosts there are; and they blow, they blow,Out in the wind and the scattering snow.- When I open the windows and go to bed, Will the ghosts come In and stand at my head?// //Last night I dreamed they came back again. I heard them talking; I saw them plain.They hugged me and held me and loved me; spokeOf happy doings and friendly folk. They seemed to have journeyed a week away, but now they were ready and glad to stay.But, oh, if they came on the wind to-night Could I bear their faces, their garments whiteBlown in the dark around my lonely bed?Oh, could I forgive them for being dead?I am almost afraid of the wind. My shame! That I would not be glad if my dear ones came!// //the overal theme is that ghost are scary and what they are like. it tells how he is afraid to be a ghost. then he tells about how he is afraid he is going to become a ghost. the poetic device used in the poem would be imagery. the reason why is it puts a picture in your head.// ||^  ||

My house ... is filled with this crap Shows up in bubble wrap Most every day What I bought on eBay

Tell me why (I need another pet rock) Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock) Tell me why (I bid on Shatner's old toupee) They had it on eBay

I'll buy ... your knick-knack Just check ... my feedback "A++!" they all say They love me on eBay

Gonna buy (a slightly-damaged golf bag) Gonna buy (some Beanie Babies, new with tag) (From some guy) I've never met in Norway Found him on eBay

I am the type who is liable to snipe you With two seconds left to go, whoa Got Paypal or Visa, what ever'll please ya As long as I've got the dough

What I bought on eBay-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y

the personification that is used mostly in this song is imagery. the reason why is you can picture all the junk he gets and how he doesnt want it. it also uses a few metaphors in the long. the main thing is how he keeps getting junk because he has an addiction to ebay.
