You feal like a bear waking from his slumber,
All thoughts of the light fall far under.
The wheels in your head are turning,
Your body is burning.
Restless as an artist whos work is not done,
Everything is wrong now, don't look to the sun;
Crash! All your work has been destroyed,
Nothing you do can fill that void.
The wind says to you "do not give up"
Your work is still only half a full cup;
All you have done is now for a cause,
Don't stop now, go against the laws.
It's close to over now,
You may rest weary like a cow;
May it do you well to never forget,
I might never be over, not just yet.
1.) The similies and metaphors in this poem are ' restless as an artist who's work is not done', 'You may rest weary like a cow', 'you feel like a bear waking from his slumber', and 'the wheels in your head are turning'.
ReplyDelete2.) One question I have for line 2 in stanza 2- 'Everything is wrong now, dont look to the sun'. Im a little thrown off with the 'dont look to the sun' part.
3.) no question
4.) no question
5.) The poem is about everything being destroyed, and trying to get over it.
6.) The word weary could mean drousy, in space, tired etc. Sleepy comes to my head when I think of this word.
I really liked this poem and I think the layout and the diction you used is really good also.

1. This poem is about, when thing go bad you can either give up, or try really hard to make ammends.
ReplyDelete2. One question I have for a particular line of the poem is why you chose to compare with a bear waking fom a slumber?
3. One question I have for a particular stanza in the poem is pertaining to the first stanza; is this really what goes through your mind during a hard situation?
4. One question I have about the entire poem is when is a problem arises, which path do you take (to give up or perservere)?
a.You feal like a bear waking from his slumber
b.Restless as an artist whos work is not done
c.You may rest weary like a cow
d.Your work is still only half a full cup
Artist- crativity,interpretive, still human (can make mistakes that can turn out to be an amazing thing).

Brittany, I used don't look to the sun to say that even the brightest of things may not be able to fix a problem at times.
ReplyDeleteMady, first I chose to compare to a bear waking from slumber because it shows that sometimes people will be lazy and tired. Second, not always it would have to be a very veryyyy hard situation for this to actually go through my mind. Third, I never give up no matter how hard the situation may be.

I like the image of working really hard and then losing your work because the computer crashed. (Okay, I don't like when that happens in real life, but I like the image in your poem.)
ReplyDeleteWhy "weary like a cow"? Maybe, since there aren't a lot of words that rhyme with "now" and "cow," you could change the adjective instead. "Placid," perhaps?
