My Little Road Friday, Jan 22 2010 

The roads pot holes

are like the bumps in my life.

the turns are like,

the decisions in my life.

When you pull onto the road,

it is like the beginning of your trip.

like my life I follow,

like people follow the road.

Poetry for Self-exploration and a Special Kind of Fame Thursday, Jan 14 2010 

This is a post from The Reading Workshop and I would like to share my assignment which was to rewrite the last two stanzas  and the credit for this post goes to Mr. McGuire.

Who are you?  Do you know yourself?  One of the greatest aspects of poetry is the way it helps the writer explore his/her thoughts, ideas, and opinions.  Feelings need to be understood and analyzed in order to express them.  This poem is an example of one author’s ideas about being famous.

Famous
Naomi Shihab Nye

The River is famous to the Fish

The loud voice is famous to silence,
which knew it would inherit the earth
before anybody said so.

The cat sleeping on the fence is famous to the birds
watching him from the birdhouse.

The tear is famous, briefly to the cheek.

The idea you carry close to your bosom
if famous to your bosom.

The boot is famous to the earth,
more famous than the dress shoe,
which is famous only to floors.

The bent photograph is famous to the one who carries it
and not at all famous to the one who is pictured.

I want to be famous to shuffling men
who smile while crossing streets,
sticky children in grocery lines,
famous as the one who smiled back.

I want to be famous the way a pulley is famous,
or a buttonhole,
not because it did anything spectacular,
but because it never forgot what it could do.

What do you want to be known for?  In what way do you want to be famous?  Rewrite the last two stanzas to reflect your view on being famous.

This is an edited and improved version of my old comment.

I want to be famous to my coaches
the way the whole team is important.
The way a baseball is to a bat
to get a home run.

I want to be famous the way a basketball is to
hearing the swoosh of the net,
like getting fouled and
winning the game

Playoffs Tuesday, Jan 12 2010 

This saturday The Bengals play the jets in their first playoff game this year and it was just like the last game of the regular season. The Bengals let the jets run all over them and the Bengals made some stupid mistakes. So the finals score to the game was 14 to 24 jets. I was disipointed in the game and I thought that the biggest mistake was when Shane Graham missed the two field goals. After all I just said wait until next year.
