Phong Tran’s Project Poetry Reflection

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

My favorite part about doing this project and research was finding the pictures because during finding the pictures, I saw many kind of pictures  that related to my poem and its poet. My least favorite part about doing this project and research was typing information to Glogster because it took a lot of my time and it was hard to check spelling. I chose the Glogster project because it helped develop my creative skills. This project helped me to present information in a way that I learn best because I got the information and could group it in my own way to help me to present easier. From the class presentations, my favorite project was mine because I believe that my project is the best. Throughout this project, I had learned a lot of things about poetry and it made me understand more about poetry.

Phong’s Poetry Reflection

I really don’t like writing poetry  because It always follow many rules. The easiest thing for me when writing poetry is I can write anything I want in the poem and the most difficult thing is the rhyming words because it makes me spend a lot of time to find those rhyming words. I like writing the free verse poem because it’s easy to write and it doesn’t have rhyme.

So after all those one night stands
You’ve ended up with heart in hand
A Child alone
On your own
Retreating
Regretful for the things you’re not
And all the things you haven’t got
Without a home
A heart of stone
Lies bleeding

And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the dreams you had to leave behind

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams

Don’t turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I’ll be right there
I’ll never leave
And all I ask of you
Believe

Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
The grown-up wings
You needed

But when you had to add the up
You found that they were not enough
To get you in
Pay for sins repeated

And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you hide
And for all the fears you had to keep inside

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams

Don’t walk away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I’ll be right there
I’ll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe

I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
Till Time wasted me

I never wanted to go
I always wanted to stay
‘Cause the persons I am
Are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
And I hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I’m holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark
Inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark
I hear your screams

Don’t turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I’ll be right there
I’ll never leave
And all I ask of you…

I like this song because this song makes me despair and remember the sad times. It doesn’t mean this song is very sad, but this song puts the listener in a sad situation and allows them to remember personal times of sadness.

It relates to the poetry because this song has lines that rhyme, such as the words alone and own,.. It’s also
repeats a phrase, like “I am” or “I’ll”.
