I ran, my feet bloodied and aching, my ankle unsteady and shrieking in pain. I ignored it, gasping

I play football here at ULM and we have been in our fall camp for the last 23 days. It is a mental, physical, and emotional strain and tensions are running high. One day early on in camp we were out in the blistering heat practicing. We were almost finished when we called a screen pass and I was going to be the main blocker for the play and if I messed up it wouldn't work. Then as soon as the ball was snapped I stepped with the wrong foot first. This slowed me down and the defender was able to clobber our receiver behind the line of scrimmage. My position coach, Coach Clark, immediately ran over yelling, "What are you doing? Where is the direction you can't lose your man on that play?" I knew what I had done wrong, "I can't let him get up the

Turning off the TV, Andrew grabbed his keys and rushed to the garage, angry for not being more cautious. Driving down the street as fast as he could to get to the cleaners, he said, “I wonder if Margaret has her phone. I will call it,” he said, pushing the buttons, he waited, and said, “Oh, no; it went directly to voice mail. She must have turned it off, but why would she do that?”

In today’s modern view, poetry has become more than just paragraphs that rhyme at the end of each sentence. If the reader has an open mind and the ability to read in between the lines, they discover more than they have bargained for. Some poems might have stories of suffering or abuse, while others contain happy times and great joy. Regardless of what the poems contains, all poems display an expression. That very moment when the writer begins his mental journey with that pen and paper is where all feelings are let out. As poetry is continues to be written, the reader begins to see patterns within each poem. On the other hand, poems have nothing at all in common with one another. A good example of this is in two poems by a famous writer by

Poets, and the poetry they write, are fundamental to the society in which they exist. The Modern poet is no exception. With words as weapons, the poet often challenges the very beliefs that underpin their civilisation and cause their fellow citizens to reflect on the status quo. It is the effectiveness of the literary devices the poet uses that often means the message is felt at a heart level, not just the head. An essay can give a dissertation on an important topic but it is the poet, using anything from personification to onomatopoeia, metaphor to assonance, that creates such

Religion. Family. Experiencing the world. Together, these three factors can combine to produce amazing, powerful poetry. Important aspects and experiences can mold one’s future thoughts.

There is never a dull moment in room 215. I have never once looked at the clock, just watching and waiting for the minutes to tick by. In fact, the old saying, “Time flies when you’re having fun,” definitely applies to this language arts class. When the shrill sound of the bell slices through the air. I never want to leave, just wanting to finish my entry, or add more detail, or just finish that one last page of the book I was reading.

This was the first day of senior year for Dinah Jane. The familiar smell of the blossom tree by the entrance greeted her senses. The last three years had been amazing for her and she spent it with people she deeply cared for. She was satisfied with her class schedule or more so excited. She started skipping her way to first period: Poetry. There was no doubt she was a really good writer. It was her favorite pastime when she was alone. She hated feeling alone, but the creation of fictional characters made her feel as if she wasn’t alone at all. She had never taken a poetry class before and she didn’t know anyone who took the class.

In this particular room, students face the front of it, watching the dry-erase board that covers nearly half of the jagged brick wall. Patiently, they wait for new and unfamiliar terms to be scribbled onto it. The sound of small whispers and the clock’s repetitive ticking fills this small space.

One of the most important qualities that will distinguish a good poem is its originality. If you have heard it said before it does not need repeating, and doing so does not add anything of substance to the art. But can anything being written today even be considered original? Chances are the thing you are thinking or reading about has been said and done thousands of times by thousands of different people. Art is built on the accomplishments of those that came before the current artist. The important idea behind this originality is bringing something a little different and adding on to this original idea. No one is going to judge a poem because it follows one of the common formats of poetry such as a sonnet or haiku. Where the originality comes through will be in the words chosen to fill that format and the way the idea is expressed. Every poet comes from a unique background where only they have those experiences and this will come through in their writing if what they are doing is truly original. An original poem will take something that has been done before and bring a whole new aspect to it. A great example of an artist’s originality will spring from the images they are able to create with their words. Good poetry has the ability to create a life like image that you can easily place yourself in and even feel. The images in these poems are not just limited to the physical things,
