JOY
Jump and tumble, play while you can,
Over the meadows, run as fast as you can,
Years go by, life is too short, so make the most out of it, before your time is o'er.

Yes, yes, you're guessing right! I am Joy from the wacky class of Garnet 08!!! Yeah! Rock On! For the past few days, I, together with my classmates, have been studying about POETRY. Obviously, we do it during English class with Sr. Ayende. Like what Agnetha said, poetry is better than studying grammar. Grammar is easy to learn and study unlike poetry, but poetry is fun to do. Our introduction to this matter is Peter Weir's "Dead Poets Society". It's an excellent movie, I must say, and interesting too. But, I didn't get to see the ending. Oh well, I just read the scripts I found in the internet. :-) Bad, bad me.
"The sight of the battlefield after the fight is enough to inspire princes with a love of peace and a horror of war." - Napoleon Bonaparte
IN THE MIDST OF WAR
Call my men! We shall go!
On to the mountains, high and low.
Use your weapons, arm yourselves,
Release thy spears, until thy death.
Arguing minds, uncertain answers,
Give in to questions which haunt thy mind,
Everything unsolved and nothing's right.
To a soldier, so brave to fight,
Offended might he be, but soon, he may die,
For life is uncertain in the battlefield,
In some way, you would have no needs.
Go and fight, mighty soldier!
Heed the call of your dying brother.
To you, I lay it all - my life, the people and the honor.
This poem, 'In The Midst Of War' was written last September 22, 2004. This was the poem I passed to Sr. Ayende regarding acrostics.
Actually, thinking of an acrostic is hard. You got to make sure that each line of the poem starts with a letter that when put together, forms a sensible word. And also, the lines of the poem, should contain only one idea and that should be related to the word formed. For this poem, I used 'COURAGE TO FIGHT'. Actually, it was meant to be COURAGE only, but I found it hard to end the poem with 'E' because it would sound "bitin".
