Joy and Pleasure
Now, joy is born of parents poor,
And pleasure of our richer kind;
Though pleasure's free, she cannot sing
As sweet a song as joy confined.
Pleasure's a Moth, that sleeps by day
And dances by false glare at night;
But Joy's a Butterfly, that loves
To spread its wings in Nature's light.
Joy's like a Bee that gently sucks
Away on blossoms its sweet hour;
But pleasure's like a greedy Wasp,
That plums and cherries would devour.
Joy's like a Lark that lives alone,
Whose ties are very strong, though few;
But Pleasure like a Cuckoo roams,
Makes much acquaintance, no friends true.
Joy from her heart doth sing at home,
With little care if others hear;
But pleasure then is cold and dumb,
And sings and laughs with strangers near.
William Henry Davies The diction and details created in the tone of the poem is joyful and peaceful. The poem is expressing nature life. It’s showing how living things that we people have at home are joyful. It’s explaining how the sounds of birds make some people day.

Regretful Decisions
I stay aside
And I contemplate in silence
Your life you so much wish to rearrange
Your personality which you want to change
I find it strange
That you wish to become like others
That you wish to become common
You should have chosen something else to work on
Your life, while struggling to change, might worsen
The bridge to some of your dreams might get broken
In some houses you’ll no longer be welcome
You’ll no longer be allowed to take the path you’ve once trodden
The change once done, you’ll no longer be the one I used to know
I’ll gather all my past memories of you which in anger I shall throw
Somewhere far-away from me, and I’ll make a vow
That once you’ve done the change, what became of you I’ll never want to know
Anukka D....
The diction and details show that she is disappointed. It is showing that someone did something that she didn’t approve of. That disappointment changed her life. “ What became of you I’ll never want to know” those words show how upset she is over the decision the other person made.
I was angry with a friend
I took my wrath and my wrath did end
I was angry with a foe
I took my wrath and my wrath did grow
I found anger in my fears,
and tried to hide them in my tears
I found anger in the night
I took my wrath with much delight
I found anger in the day
I took my wrath but it just stayed
It hasn't changed in many years
threw the anger heart ache and tears
I tell you this for all to know
no matter the wrath that you show
Take delight in the sun
Take delight in the fun
Don't waste your life with an angry foe
Be happy for all and let it show
No Reason To Care

I suppress
as I feel your distance
The silence leads me into another volatile dreamy night
Do you disconnect for safety?
Or because you do not feel the charge?
All I can do is wait
And see if you'll surface your emotions
My subconscious knows
these path are becoming overgrown
But here I wait
Patiently
For now
But my patience has reached it boiling point
The urgency for abandonment is gripping
I begin stomping and ripping
until a create a new path
The sight is quite disorienting
Uncertainity and change is unsettling
But still I am hopeful
Must be hopeful
Here I go
Back on the rollercoaster
Forced on another ride
Must be hopeful
She has saved me so many times
Yet old instincts are hard to change
Old thoughts are quite unforgettable
So I grasp tightly on her
Until I am safe on solid ground again

Instead of wasting time talking,

in mind, use this time, in what
you could be pursuing. There's
a lot of things, you can get involved
with, that would make a difference,
in someones life. There's no need,
to come off too strong. Just do what
your heart tells you and things are
bound to move along. When the time
comes, you'll look back and you'll be
happy you toned things down, a peg
or two. Now, you can be over confident,
as everybody, is proud of you!
