Wrote this for 9th grade english based on a poem called "The Poisoned Tree"(sorri can't remember who wrote it). It earned me an A- so I guess it can't be that bad! Tell me what you think! "Poisoned Tree" My friend was mad at me And I did not know why I asked what I had done wrong But she did not reply I do not know what I did To make her smile turn into a frown To make her eyes so cold To make her want to keep putting me down The pain in my heart grew day and night I fell for trick after trick Thinking I could make wrong into right But I finally found out How she really felt If I left my pain would kill me Though if I stayed I die by the poisoned tree |

The name of that poet is William Blake... and his poem was called "A Poison Tree." I never much liked that poem really, I think Blake got a little lazy with the creative phrasing... yours is rather similar, just different enough to be personal, I suppose. Congratulations on your A-. Parasite Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world. ~Percy Bysshe Shelley [This message has been edited by Local Parasite (05-06-2003 02:54 PM).] |
