Last Night You Left Me And Slept (Part 1)

The poem “Last Night You Left Me”, showcases the scene of how his lover hurt him in the worst way possible. The poem basically says that last night his lover left him and slept on her own. But tonight, when she turned back to him, he wanted to be with her forever. Lastly, he describes her mumbling things when she was drunk, things that he could not understand.

Poem Part 2

Been crying all day

What have I ever done to you

Never ate nor drank

Kept thinking of you

When you’ll return

Explaination

My poem describes how Rumi felt when his lover left him. He didn’t know what he has done wrong, so he was pondering about it, not eating and drinking. All he is thinking about is the return of his love.

People around the world have different cultures with different beliefs. Some think what they believe is completely true which makes them think others’ beliefs are wrong. This causes tensions between different groups of people which will most likely result in separation. But what I truly believe is that no one has the right to say whatever others believe is entirely wrong. That is because we don’t know if what we’re doing or believing is true ourselves.

From my worldview, I believe that killing an animal or an insect is considered a sin, but some other religions think killing animals is absolutely fine. This mostly comes down to the environment we grew up in, because we’re born as “blank slate” so others, mostly our parents, can have a huge impact in what we believe now. And because of this, we believe whatever we’re being taught is a fact, not an opinion.

Being trapped or not being able to do things you want can be anyone’s worst nightmare. We may not realize that there are people around the world who doesn’t have the same basic human rights like us. Some are being treated as slaves or like animals throughout their life span. We can save some, but sadly some are just out of our hands.

In my opinion, the most basic human right is the freedom of speech because people should be able to speak whatever they want. Without this freedom, there might not be any change from the past to the present. People should be willing to listen to the opinions of others. This is important because some might have ideas that can improve society, or even revolutionize it. In addition, the art of speaking is what brings people together and forms society. More importantly, people shouldn’t have the fear to say whatever they want.

According to my worldview and reasoning, I would say that no one in the world should take any rights away from others unless necessary. They didn’t create you, God did. And living in this world, humans rights are applied by nature, because it all started with one guy, then it got passed on to many other people. I think humans have to honor the legal systems because it is what keeps us intact. Moreover, I don’t think they should keep on changing the social contracts, because it would just be conflicting and unfair to others.

In conclusion, people in this world should have a chance to voice their opinions and shouldn’t be stopped from doing things that are right. In addition, they should realize that the past and present isn’t the same, our world has changed, so should we.

Oh the warmth is here

Dead plants once sleeping

What once was suffering 

Warmth has come, along with life

Poem by Donald Kneene #84

The poem is about loneliness and how it can affect our daily lives. In the first three lines, the writer is saying that he is isolated from the city and its inhabitants. Somehow he seems to be situated so far that no one can notice his presence. Since he’s living alone, he’ll constantly feel depressed meaning that he’s anxious, sorrow, and full of agony. Though agony was not directly talked about in the piece, it can easily be sensed by the reader. The author is taking the basic human fear of loneliness and improvises it into his poem. He tries to use rather touching sentences to connect this common fear to the reader.

Poem by Bai Juyi

The poem is about warmth and describes this feeling with a common thing, air. The meaning of the first line is that the pillow’s quilt is warm creating a soothing atmosphere making the author’s body relaxed and smooth. The second line implies that even though the curtains aren’t open, the wind can still reach you and it will remain in the air. The meaning of the last line is that the wind can often come to you even in your sleep. I believe he is using personification to make the atmosphere seem like its living. I can also tell that the tone is meant to be relaxed and quiet.

What are most excited about? What are your goals/hopes for your Senior year? What do you want to make sure you accomplish during your last year at ICS? How do you want your Senior year to be defined?

I’ve been thinking about this exciting yet terrifying school year all summer. What’s it like to be a senior, the oldest and most respected among the younger generations of our school. On the other hand, just thinking about leaving ICS makes me feel extremely sad that I’ll be leaving the place that I consider my second home. I’ve been here for 14 years and have not regret a single day. Also, when going into the new chapter of my life, I know there’ll be numerous responsibilities and important decisions that will condescend on me.

On the first day of school, it felt kind of weird being the eldest, since  during my years in school and up until my junior year, I’ve always had someone to look up to, someone to comfort me. Now being the oldest, it makes me believe I have to be more responsible and reliable. More importantly, I must make the most out of every moment.

My plans for my senior year, is to spend time with my friends so I can keep those unforgettable memories as I move on to college. I’ll also go to all of the ICS events, such as LAF and spirit night, because I know it’ll be unlikely that I’ll get to enjoy these fancies once I go to college. Moreover, I plan on having the best senior trip, since it’ll be our last. Still, I will end this year with the best GPA I’ve ever aimed for.

In conclusion, it’ll be quite sad when graduation comes because I’ll be saying “farewell” to the people who have shaped my life and made me who I am. Still, I know that time flies and my 14-year journey at ICS will come to an end. Still, I shall make the most out of my senior year and close my last section of the chapter will a big smile.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
