When it comes to poetry, it's something I've always loved. It soothes me deeply to the point where I feel as if when I read it, it makes me escape to another place. This place is actually called a "Happy Place" that makes me feel at peace. The metaphor that I'm going to use about poetry is,"Reading poetry is planting seeds of wisdom"

When it comes to a metaphor that describes my life I'd have to use "Life is like an elevator: on your way up, sometimes, you have to stop and let some people off. This metaphor describes my life simply because, in life I've had to let some people who I thought were initially with me but when I began to level up hating began to start so I had to let them go. In life you may think everyone want to see you winning, But once you level up you realize everyone isn't clapping, So what do you do? Realize... "Life is like an elevator; on your way up, sometimes,you have to stop and let some people off"

When it comes to images they can mean many things. Images can mean different things simply because we as people all interpret things differently from one another, and don’t think the same way. The things that an individual may have went through during the lifetime whether it was good or bad influences how they interpret images. One of my favorite songs haves a lot of imagery in it, by Adele “Hometown Glory”. “I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades I like it in the city when two worlds collide You get the people and the government Everybody taking different sides .” This song makes me get a view of where she’s from, simply by the lyrics presented above, it also lets me feel as if I’m there because of the wording she used in the song to paint a picture. Even though of course were not from the same place, it makes me feel as if I’m there because of the awesome imagery. When it comes to a poem we’ve read...

This picture sums up my life. "Peace Of Mind". In life I sometimes go through things that I don't quite understand.  Like why me? What did I do to deserve this? When things in my life seem not go as I plan, I have to realize that Is it worth the stress? No, things happen and you sometimes can't control them which is why... "Peace Of Mind" sums up my life. If you have a peace of mind, you'll have a beautiful life.

A poem that shares a lot of mythology is a poem entitled "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by, John Keats. The speaker throughout this poem is showing their appreciation in regards to this Greek Urn their looking at during this poem. This person is showing such amazement in the beauty that this particular urn is giving off. " Thou foster-child of silence and slow time,   Sylvan historian, who canst thus express         A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme:  What leaf-fring'd legend haunts about thy shape         Of deities or mortals, or of both,                 In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?         What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?  What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?               ...

When I first read the topic for this week blog post, I was kind of skeptical on what to write due to the fact that I wasn't sure what the term "mythology" meant. Little did I know, everyday of any ordinary person whether it's you or myself make some reference to classical mythology. Each morning When I awake, I like to start my morning off with a fresh bowl of cereal. Cereal is considered to be a grain product which was named because Ceres was the goddess of grain. Did you know that? Mythology is a wonderful thing!

When it comes to my favorite song that I spoke about in Post 13. it's a particular verse that sticks out to me. "So I need to talk to You And ask You for Your guidance Especially today When my world seems so cloudy, lord Guide me until I'm sure I open up my heart, oh yeah, yes I do" This is my favorite verse because, it actually feels as if she's in my shoes saying what I'm crying out to the lord putting it in her song. When I'm down and out and I feel as if I'm on my last straw I know I can trust, and depend on God. When singing this verse that's what it means to me.

When it comes to music, I've never been the type of person who just listens to anything. I like to listen to music that not only I can relate to, but have meaning to as well. Right now a particular song that I really love is a Gospel song entitled "Open My Heart" by, Yolanda Adams. This song theme to me is basically; "I'm Lost and I Need God The Most". I've went through some times in my life where I felt as if I was so lost, and nobody could help me out this dark spot in my life but God. Every morning I wake up and give God thanks for allowing me to see another unpromising day, that a lot of people didn't get a chance to see. After I've given him thanks, I then start my morning off with this song, and before I go to bed I play this song as well. When I play this song before bed, that's my time to let go of all my worries of the day and hand them over to God, here's a little piece of it. SN: I'm not perfect, but I thank God that I...
