Dandelions
When I was still young
I often sided with the weeds;
watched their untamed life,
blow firm in the breeze;
stronger, but less appreciated
than your precious leaves.
I took my strolls along the matted grass
trampled by work-boots into the mud;
and followed your obligatory path,
Sunbathed to frothy suds.
And those dandelions I picked for you,
I always liked them better in seed.
Many were blown along the way,
blown away on childish need.
They were the promise indeed
that Spring had begun.
And those blocks of ice,
would melt away by the sun,
and that clearing in the yard
would allow me to see-
I tried to chase you one day,
call out your name,
but my voice fell flat
in the pouring rain.
I tripped and fell
and sobbed in vain.
But mother never scolded
my earthly stains.
Or yours.
Today I still pick dandelions,
because they're ample, they're free;
they are the life of your hated weeds,
And all of them curse your name.
What do you think of this poem?
I liked it all except where OR YOURS starts. Change the ending and you will have a good poem.
Reply:I liked the beginning, the middle was hard to grasp and the ending was a bit harsh, overall it was okay.I think the way you used some of your word together, that did not make much sense together.

You've got some good stuff in here. I think you need to find some fresher language in places. Things like the first line do not engage the reader and you should think about the reader and getting their interest up so they want to read further. In some places you move a bit into abstraction (telling, not showing) and I think you just need to go back and rethink those lines or phrases. All in all, a good effort.
Reply:O why should the spirit of mortal be proud!
Like a fast flitting meteor, a fast flying cloud,
A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave --
He passes from life to his rest in the grave.
The leaves of the oak and the willows shall fade,
Be scattered around, and together be laid;
And the young and the old, and the low and the high,
Shall moulder to dust, and together shall lie.
The child that a mother attended and loved,
The mother that infant's affection that proved,
The husband that mother and infant that blest,
Each -- all are away to their dwelling of rest.
The maid on whose cheek, on whose brow, in whose eye,
Shone beauty and pleasure -- her triumphs are by:
And the memory of those that beloved her and praised,
Are alike from the minds of the living erased.
The hand of the king that the sceptre hath borne,
The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worn,
The eye of the sage, and the heart of the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depths of the grave.
The peasant whose lot was to sow and to reap,
The herdsman who climbed with his goats to the steep,
The beggar that wandered in search of his bread,
Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
The saint that enjoyed the communion of Heaven,
The sinner that dared to remain unforgiven,
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just,
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust.
So the multitude goes -- like the flower and the weed
That wither away to let others succeed;
So the multitude comes -- even those we behold,
To repeat every tale that hath often been told.
For we are the same things that our fathers have been,
We see the same sights that our fathers have seen,
We drink the same stream, and we feel the same sun,
And we run the same course that our fathers have run.
The thoughts we are thinking our fathers would think,
From the death we are shrinking from they too would shrink,
To the life we are clinging to they too would cling --
But it speeds from the earth like a bird on the wing.
They loved -- but their story we cannot unfold;
They scorned -- but the heart of the haughty is cold;
They grieved -- but no wail from their slumbers may come;
They joyed -- but the voice of their gladness is dumb.
They died -- aye, they died! and we, things that are now,
Who walk on the turf that lies over their brow,
Who make in their dwellings a transient abode,
Meet the change they met on their pilgrimage road.
Yea, hope and despondence, and pleasure and pain,
Are mingled together like sunshine and rain;
And the smile and the tear, and the song and the dirge,
Still follow each other like surge upon surge.
'Tis the twink of an eye, 'tis the draught of a breath,
From the blossom of health to the paleness of death,
From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud --
O why should the spirit of mortal be proud!

Sat beside the meadow
Watching weeds agrow
Cleaned up all the ashes
Of my soul
Wrote down my own sentence
Now you take your way
Fades the last remembrance
Of your lovely pretty face
I, after all,
Just a lonely man - a lonely heart! Working on the future
Floating on fate
Faced the circunstances
Cleared up the shades, so
Make believe
There's no sorrow in your eyes
Can't you see
We could never get back from the start
Minutes waiting, life's been wasted
... maybe I wanna die some other day
Hear the whispers of your hope
The answer wasn't told
No, don't laugh seeing me cry
The end I've left behind
(... the whispers of your hope are left behind!)
Make believe
There's no sorrow in your eyes
Can't you see
We could never get back from the start
Minutes waiting, life's been wasted
And I've tried,
Maybe you deny
Words of peace
For the future of our lives
bring to me
something else than a broken heart?
i won't wait till
my life is wasted
DO YOU SPEAk SPANISH? I NEED HELP?

Before this warning, it said it would be restored once its completed.
Help and make it clearer for me?

Will I Get Expelled?
Ok so I was searched yesterday in school and they found a two inch rolled blunt with weed in it and a small container with about 3 oz of vodka in it.
As of now I got 10 days out of school suspension with a recommendation for expulsion. The meeting to determine my expulsion will take place this Tuesday and I was wondering if I even have a minuscule chance of not getting expelled? I have about a 3.0 GPA and take mostly honors classes. I also do extremely well on state tests. I've always been in the upper 93-99% percentile for NRTs. I also got 5s (the highest score possible) every year 90% of the time on a Florida test called the FCAT.
I've never been a discipline problem at school, this entire year all I got was 2 detentions for cell phone violations. I did get arrested once before for a trespassing charge but I got that charge cleared up with teen court.
I know I've screwed up on a colossal scale and probably ruined my future but I'd appreciate any input for my situation, thanks.
Will I Get Expelled?
yeah!
Reply:probably u wont, with such high grades, the might want to keep u cuz of this
Reply:DUDE u just destroyed your life u'll never get int college wih that record
Reply:totally!!!
Reply:First off, I live in Florida, so don't listen to the other idiots, I know exactally how our school system likes to have us bend over.
As for your question, yes sir, you're gonna get expelled, and shipped off to a secondary school.
I'd start crying now if I were you.
Reply:I doubt you'll get expelled. You sound kinda like me, but I've never been caught. You seem to be a good student for the most part, and they'll recognize it. Good luck :)
Reply:Yews you will and you wont go to college either your a stupid kid
Reply:BLAG IT! blame it on someone you hate! they framed you :)
Reply:ummm yes yes u very likely taht u wll b. y were u searched in the first place
Reply:uhh i thot the highest was 4? well 4+
Reply:seriously what is wrong with you if you don't stop acting tough and acting like you are from the "hood" im going to see you at mcdonalds serving me some chicken patty's or something ...and yes you can be expelled
Reply:What state are you in??
Are you allowed to go to this meeting? Are you a habitual pot smoker or was this a one time thing? Would you be willing to take a hair drug test to prove that you're not a habitual smoker?? What grade are you in?
Just looking for a little more background information.
Either way, good luck!

Reply:Grades don't matter at all.. If you had to illegal subtances on you.. That is an expulsion violation.. Im sorry.
Reply:depends if the person deciding on it like you or not. if they like you youve got a chance but if the persond hates you id say you have absolutley no chance.
Reply:if the weed and vodka was yours? then there is absolutely no chance of you not getting suspended
but expelled? they might send you to a temporary school for
a while then you can go back.
but if it was yours. then yes you can probably get expelled
but theres a chance you can still go to that school after
your punishment
Reply:wow all those scores arent going to get you far with a premanent record pal!
I dont know how exactly your school works but it might help to promise not to screw up anymore any offer to undergo random drug tests and like go to rehab or something.
honestly i dont mean to sound so mean but you need to get your act together.
good luck, really.
Reply:I'm thinking thta no matter how "good" you were before nothing can keep you from getting in HUGE trouble for having drugs at school!!!!!!! I'm thinking, yes! Sorry!
Reply:Somepeople i know at my school were caught with more weed than that and thay did not get expeled so i think your safe
Reply:well, sounds like u have done much bad things, maybe. MAYBE, theyll expel u, cause u have done so many things but, maybe they can forgive you or something.. gudluck to u..
Reply:I'm Sorry but that is lucky if that is all you get you would go to jail of juvi.
Reply:You just gotta hope that they are understanding.
Reply:maybe..well you say you do good in school and all..but still weed is weed..and vodka is vodka. Hmm this is hard. I don't think you will..but you kinda ****** up your school record.
good luck hope you learned form this
Reply:sorry to say it but, yeah...ur probably gonna get expelled....start fresh at ur next school and dont do anything like that again
Reply:I would say that there is a chance you could get expelled but since this is your first time getting caught with it then it shouldn't be as bad as getting expelled.
Maybe you could offer to do community service or something like that instead of getting expelled.
Your high grades will help you out.
like i said..just try to compromise with them. say you will get suspended, do community service, and maybe join some clubs or something at school ( they say by joining clubs you stay out of trouble but idk).
hope i helped : ]
Reply:your a druggie who deserves expulsion and your gonna get it! you did ruin your entire future!!
Reply:Hate to say but a friend of mine was a great student also but they found weed in his locker...he was expelled. But there still may be a small amount of hope since it may be different for my county and yours...good luck but why are smoking anyway? Please stop! I promise you, I've seen some of my closet friends get hurt because of it. i'll pray for you=). hope this helped...
Reply:I Wouldn't Expel You Just Cuz You Found It Doesn't Mean Its Yours And If You Take Alot Of Honors Stuff Then You Shouldn't Be Expelled And Also If You Do Extremely Well On Stuff Then No The Probably Won't Expel You
Reply:mayB not cuz dude u got high score, dang. but no i dont think they gonna take u out, u got like a blessed mind. but y did u have all those things. forget drugs, but if it's bout $ then HIDE IT BETTER, Yo cmon. any way u gotta learn from ur mistakes or my daddy gonna come to yo house wit his belt, jk. so again i dont think so, GOOD LUCK. and uhh stay strong!
Reply:i hate to break it to you, but i think you have a pretty good chance of getting expelled....even though your grades and test scores are good, i doubt that the people will look at that...i think that because of the drugs you will get expelled because drugs are one of the largest offenses...in all honesty i would be really surprised if you didnt get expelled....im sorry, but i think that that is what's gonna happen
Reply:Whether you're expelled or not, you'll be fine. If you don't get credit, just take a GED and score out with honors, (like I did) 'cause all the questions are like sixth-grade level :|
Colleges will accept you, even if you didn't graduate through school. Although it looks better if you do, it's still at the discretion of some people at the college, so if you're going for an Ivy League school or something, you may want to do your best to explain your circumstances... Just be careful from now on, ok?
Say no to drugs, guys ;-)

But there still may be a small amount of hope since it may be different for my county and yours...good luck but why are smoking anyway? Please stop! I promise you, I've seen some of my closet friends get hurt because of it. i'll pray for you=). hope this helped...
Reply:I Wouldn't Expel You Just Cuz You Found It Doesn't Mean Its Yours And If You Take Alot Of Honors Stuff Then You Shouldn't Be Expelled And Also If You Do Extremely Well On Stuff Then No The Probably Won't Expel You
Reply:mayB not cuz dude u got high score, dang. but no i dont think they gonna take u out, u got like a blessed mind. but y did u have all those things. forget drugs, but if it's bout $ then HIDE IT BETTER, Yo cmon. any way u gotta learn from ur mistakes or my daddy gonna come to yo house wit his belt, jk. so again i dont think so, GOOD LUCK. and uhh stay strong!
Reply:i hate to break it to you, but i think you have a pretty good chance of getting expelled....even though your grades and test scores are good, i doubt that the people will look at that...i think that because of the drugs you will get expelled because drugs are one of the largest offenses...in all honesty i would be really surprised if you didnt get expelled....im sorry, but i think that that is what's gonna happen
Reply:Whether you're expelled or not, you'll be fine. If you don't get credit, just take a GED and score out with honors, (like I did) 'cause all the questions are like sixth-grade level :|
Colleges will accept you, even if you didn't graduate through school. Although it looks better if you do, it's still at the discretion of some people at the college, so if you're going for an Ivy League school or something, you may want to do your best to explain your circumstances... Just be careful from now on, ok?
Say no to drugs, guys ;-)

AND then I pressed the shell
Close to my ear
And listened well,
And straightway like a bell
Came low and clear
The slow, sad murmur of the distant seas,
Whipped by an icy breeze
Upon a shore
Wind-swept and desolate.
It was a sunless strand that never bore 1
The footprint of a man
Nor felt the weight
Since time began
Of any human quality or stir
Save what the dreary winds and waves incur.
And in the hush of waters was the sound
Of pebbles rolling round,
For ever rolling with a hollow sound.
And bubbling sea-weeds as the waters go
Swish to and fro
Their long, cold tentacles of slimy grey
There was no day,
Nor ever came a night
Setting the stars alight
To wonder at the moon
Was twilight only and the frightened croon
Smitten to whimpers, of the dreary wind
And waves that journeyed blind—
And then I loosed my ear ... O, it was sweet
To hear a cart go jolting down the street

American idol is rigged?
RePosted From Idol...
Topic: American Idol Rigged. Facts inside. We do not decide.

Be prepared. This is long, but true and good.
American Idol is RIGGED, if you guys haven't figured it out already, LOL.
Our voting does absolutely nothing. American Idol decides who wins and who goes home, regardless of how many votes a person got. Here's a snippet from an article: "Howard Stern had a source who claimed to be backstage and saw them editing Lakisha’s video around week seven. This tipster had e-mailed the Howard Stern show to tell them that he knew, for a fact, that Lakisha would be the next voted off. After she was voted off, the show began their own investigation and discovered that Lakisha’s plane ticket was purchased before she was even voted out - and was the only one with travel arrangements. And even more shocking, the e-mail received was time-stamped before voting opened and before any of the contestants even performed! Yes, there's more! Camera crews were dispatched to all of the families homes, but the one sent to Flint Michigan was substantially larger. Fox would not return calls." They decide who's leaving the show before votes even happen. "Here's how it works: a few months ago, a friend of mine journeyed to New Orleans to try out for the show. He's a pretty darned talented pop R%26amp;B singer, and he stood in line along with the other several thousand singers waiting for a shot at "stardom". After waiting in line forever, he was ushered into a huge room filled with tables and judges......but not a Randy, Paula, or Simon in sight. The contestants were herded in like cattle, where a bunch of "pre-judges" weeded them out in record time. My friend was cut in round one, but what he told me was interesting, to say the least. Every contestant goes through THREE rounds of judging BEFORE the "real" judges even get ahold of them. While he watched, several great singers were rejected in round one....while the worst ones were told how great they were, and sent on to the next round. When the (as he described it) "gay yodeling cowboy" made it through while the best of the best were rejected, it became clear that there were TWO competitions going on here. One was for the next American Idol, and the other was for the next William Hung. According to this contestant, "It's not a talent competition, it's a casting call. They're looking for the people who will be the most interesting on television, not the best singers in America." So, those contestants who are the "worst of the worst" are set up by the judges. They survive three rounds of "pre-judging", where they are told how good they are, and then, finally, they get their big chance.....a shot at appearing in front of the Three Stooges Judging Panel of Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell. It's a setup from the start, but you won't hear that from Fox King Rupert Murdoch or the producers of the show. Think about it....you audition, and incredibly, make it past round one, then round two, and praise the Lord!, you even make it past the all-important third round. But then, something strange happens. After you've been told by three panels of judges that you're good enough to finally appear in front of Randypaulasimon (with the TV cameras rolling, no less!), you break into your song, only to have all three judges laugh out loud at you, and to have Simon say something like "Do you have a singing teacher? Do you have an attorney? You should call your attorney and sue your singing teacher. That was horrrrrible" You've been set up to be ridiculed on national TV, AFTER you've been pumped up by three other sets of judges. It's cruelty TV at it's highest level."
