A Thorny Rose


A young girl compares life to a rose.



Our life is like a thorny rose
Not perfect, but always beautiful
The thorns represent the hardships in our lives.
The delicate red petals represent the fun and
beautiful things in our lives.
As a young rose the petals hugging around the seed
are the family and friends who protect, love, and care
for us.

In Spite of War

In Spite of War By Angela Morgan Angela Morgan lived during both of the World Wars. In this poem, Morgan shares that despite a devastating war raging on, everything in nature continued as if nothing was happening. The same can be true about our lives. Life continues even when terrible things happen, so this poem encourages us to look at the beauty around us rather than focus on the negative aspects of our lives. In spite of war, in spite of death, In spite of all man's sufferings, Something within me laughs and sings And I must praise with all my breath. In spite of war, in spite of hate Lilacs are blooming at my gate, Tulips are tripping down the path In spite of war, in spite of wrath. "Courage!" the morning-glory saith; "Rejoice!" the daisy murmureth, And just to live is so divine When pansies lift their eyes to mine. The clouds are romping with the sea, And flashing waves call back to me That naught is real but what is fair, Th...

Song About Old Troll - Lord of The Rings By J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien is famous for his fantasy novels The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. This poem was sung by Sam Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings. Audio clips can be found of J. R. R. Tolkien singing this song himself. Troll sat alone on his seat of stone, And munched and mumbled a bare old bone; For many a year he had gnawed it near, For meat was hard to come by. Done by! Gum by! In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone, And meat was hard to come by. Up came Tom with his big boots on. Said he to Troll: "Pray, what is yon? For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle Tim, As should be a-lyin' in graveyard. Caveyard! Paveyard! This many a year has Tim been gone, And I thought he were lyin' in graveyard." "My lad," said Troll, "this bone I stole. But what be bones that lie in a hole? Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead, Afore I found his shinbone. Tinbone! Thinbone! He can spare a share for a poor old troll, For he don't nee...

TEACH ME

Poem written out of Emotions for a lady Story behind : A copy right of a movie Titled BEATZ RHYMES AND LOVE just make sure you enjoy the poem. She does to me What winter does to the trees She strips me bare, naked and empty. I laugh to myself, because... I can't sing, it's just..  She makes me want to try and harmonize. Like I've got no worries bothering me tomorrow. Like I've got no dirty clothes hamper full of yesterdays ,stinking up what future is left in me. But I really ain't no saint, Never felt love true bliss. A disciple of my father, I learned to love with clenched fists. I learned to love like reading braille on skin. Tracing the insecurities of women through the palms of their hands. But with her, it was different. See, she was in every single word I wrote. She walked a poets refrain. Spoke a sweet soliloquy. But I recognize the lack of trust in my own heart. Because only a fool won't accept the nourishment that's right...
