Two Poems: Assingment #3

I have two poems here. One of them I already posted, but I like it so much that I'll use it again.

Poem #1 (Meatphore poem)

Lying here
Buried under this weight
I turn to question
What faith had led me to believe
Go on
Be free
Your sins are forgiven now
You've done alright
Telling others how to live
Just have faith
It will all float away
I feel as thoughIt's more noticeable than ever
This growing shadow of doubt
Crawling on my wall
Blocking out the light
Only doubts
I wish I had hope
What I fear most
Is redemption itself
Funny to forgive those
Who never forgave
Anything in their days

Poem #2 (Image poem about the most beautiful place)

The quiet speaks
Sometimes more
When everything is so subtle
So inspired
I can still smell the smoke
And the fire
To think the world forgets
About what matters most
Dwelling on more
Disconnected from it all
You learn the most about everything
When you dream

One Piece of Writing: Assignment #2

A few years ago, when I was on the way up to my cabin, a friend of mine put in the cd Under The Table and Dreaming by the Dave Matthews Band. I wasn't really into them, and didn't really know too much about their music, but as soon as the first song came on, my opinon completley changed. The song was "The Best Of What's Around" and since hearing the first note, I think it is safe to say that I'm addictted. The first verse and chorus really stuck out to me the most:

"Hey my friend
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your time with me
Would you say you're feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off your mind

See you and me
Have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
So we can pull on through
Whatever tears at us
Whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done
We'll make the best of what's around"

The song makes me think about all the problems in my life and how they seem so insificant to the problems in the world. No matter what you're going through in life, someone always has it worse. This song made me realize that. There really is no sense in worrying about it because life will go on and you really just need to make the best of it.

Prompt:
1. Think of a time when you were really stressing out over something and it turned out to be nothing. How did you feel after you realized it was all over nothing?

Blogs are great!

My name is David. I love blogs. I also love writing. I like to write about everything. I like to write when I'm feeling stressed out because it takes my thoughts off of the stressful things. Over the next four months, I hope to expand my creativity as a writer. My favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut becasue I really like the satirical writing style and he does this really well.

We had an assignment of writing a poem based around a metaphor and I wrote about a preacher looking back on life deciding if he truly died a happy person.
