Final Project Proposition

Danny and I are debating teaming up and forming a coalition in which we will attempt to write a series of silly, rhyming poems that outline our experiences in life from elementry school to the modern day, in high school. Each poem will flow with a certain rhyme scheme and consist of very ridiculous and impractical diction. At the end though, each poem will have an important theme to it. K.

Villanelle

To be who you are in the world today,
Is in truth, less than the top of a pin’s head.
A mere leaf of a tree; oh how cliché?

Consider marshmallows more valuable,
Than your lethargic presence from your bed-
To be who you are in the world today.

You might as well go trudge and haul dog sleighs-
You’re nothing more than a book unread,
A flea drowning in a large load of hay.

You’re but a speck of sand in the desert,
A star among space’s milky white bed.
To be who you are in the world today.

Nevertheless, if your legacy stays-
If you do a good deed to lead the misled,
To destroy the karma that tends to betray.

Saving one life is in a way portrayed,
As saving the world, a glass sphere on a thread.
To be who you are in the world today,
Has a value no man could ever repay.
