The Mask

Published: November 2017
Who am I? You think you know... Behind this mask of a  smile is a desperate heart  hiding tears flowing, slamming  against the walls of my heart like the rising waterscapes on a stormy day. You think you see me for who I am,  but I allow you only to see who I wish I were.

1 Such a feeling coming over me There is wonder most everything I see Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
5 Everything I want the world to be Is coming true especially for me And the reason is clear, it's because you are here You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
10 On the top of the world looking down on creation And the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around Your love put me on the top of the world Top of the world

Unwritten Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten

18. Repetition
When sounds, words, phrases, lines or stanzas in a poem repeat in order to emphasize a point.
Writers use repetition to emphasize an important point, to expand on an idea, to create rhythm, and to increase the unity of the work.
Example: The repeated chorus of a song emphasizes the message of that song.

19. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still.
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.”

20. Notice the repetition in this famous poem.
Stopping by Woods On a Snowy evening, by Robert Frost
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

21. The Raven – Edgar Allen Poe
First Published in 1845
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. " 'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door; Only this, and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow, sorrow for the lost Lenore,. For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore, Nameless here forevermore.

”Unwritten” Unwritten
Natasha Bedingfield
I am unwritten Can't read my mind I'm undefined I'm just beginning The pen's in my hand Ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

32. What is life’s message in this poem?
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must—but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow— You may succeed with another blow.
