The Greatest Poem in the WORLD....G!!!

The sun

The sun is the source

the start of all religion

the reason for conflicting:

The crusades, jihad

yet it tries to kill sin

Each religion seeks victory in this holy war

My Lord is greater than yours

more omnipotent, godlier

It justified murder

for paradise and survival

but at their core

they are contain

a singularity of morals

So forget the subtle differences

and think the possibilities

if we all just agreed

The Greatester Poem in the World.....H!!!

The twin towers fall

like panic at the disco

dance on in the fight

The grounded tiwns wail

with America mourning

our children, fallen

Assignment 2: I <3 the Jabberwocky

The Jabberwocky was a poem that was first introduced to me whe I was six years old. It's a nonsense poem about a boy who goes into the forrest and slays the mythical creature called "The Jabberwocky". What really drew me in was the fact that although most of the words were made up and didn't have any dictionary meaning, it still made sense, moreso than most other poems that weren't nonsense, though they seemed comparatively more nonsense.

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

This passage is awesome, regardless of the fact that many of the words aren't even words!!!

Prompt:
Explain how the author's use of "nonsense language" actually seems to make sense. What techniques does he ploy in order to create such a uniqely vivid picture?

assignment 1: about me

Hi!!!! I'm Yujie. And although I'm taking a creative writing class, i generally don't do much writing outside of school, except for debate. I have written several cases for my current debate topic, but they are usually very tedious and forced. Thus i probably don't have many writing interests. This could be due to all the previous English classes I have taken, which have all had heavy emphasis on writing analytical essays....very boring. But, regardless, I am enjoying the newfound freedom of stressless weekends.
So....even though i don't spend my free time writing :(, I do enjoy reading, watching TV, spending time with friends, and playing computer games. I have recently become interested in a drama on NBC called Heroes.

Anyway, I don't really have an all time favorite author, but the Harry Potter series does rank pretty high in my list. I find the style very readable, which helpful when taking a break from dense writers like Foucault and Nietzsche.

An example of my writing is:
I take a bite
into that heart shaped slice.
Grease in my mouth
as I picture the cholesterol
blocking my heart

I sit on the couch
watching old romantic movies,
And feeling the cheese
condensing inside.
Each straining pulse
ringing in my ears
like a bad cough
it wheezes
grease consuming
and dies

Welcome

Hi, welcome to my Palace!!!
