Let the Wild Rumpus Begin!

The nerd starts here.

So if you’re not ready, turn away.

Thats right…It’s time to analyze a poem! I wrote a poem and i want to know what you think! But not like “Yeah its good” more like “I find symbolism in lines 4&6 where you mention the olive tree. I think it relates…” So enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~

Clouds break
Like greyscale glass,
from some forgotten cathedral.
Letting light,
illuminate illusive marble shrines,
remnant of a long past spring.

While outside,
in the courtyard,
gold
drifts down.
slowly,
down
from branches as
bare
as my heart in the plush onyx
of autumn.

I wait at the gates of winter
solmn black iron.
I wait for
cold
and
ice
and
barren forest.

I await the tenderboughs of pine
stabbing through memory,
twisting what once was.

The autumn wind
shudders the grass
and
pardons
my
soul.

My shaddered windows
and forsaken shrines
murdered by the era!

Summer becomes an
evenescence
a prologue to winter
a eulogy
to spring.

The diaries of those
living in the
crulest
of
peaceful
passionate
worlds.
are written within the maple’s veins
sweet
bitter
as the paths we’ve chosen.

Memory
is quickly rewritten,
like birch bark,
peeling skin from bone,
tearing us apart,
yet holding us together.

Autumn is living
between dimentions.
Joy and pain.
love and longing.
life and death.

In the twilight
that comes before
the joy of darkness,
and of sunrise,
and of revolution,
of revelation
the resolution
of life.

Regardless,
frost,
will
come.

“Oh the Thinks You’ll Think…”

Oh world… what are you coming to?! 

I must be completely blunt. Our educational system, though rivaled by many in the world, is weak. It is such a shame that one can go to school with a schedule packed with honors and accelerated classes, and return home unsatisfied. I am echoing the desperate cry of many students when I ask to be challenged! The fact is that my class (of 2013) , at the rate of learning which we are currently in, will not be prepared for college at all! I do hope that the workload will increase overtime because I must say, I THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE!!! After Honors English, Honors Science, Debate, etc. I am still seeking some form of enlightenment! I am so overwhelmed! Not by the amount of work, but by the lack of work! Ugh. Honestly I have no idea how to express that I’m not getting enough out of school. Help? Suggestions? WRITE ME A COMMENT!!!

So today I thought I would start by sharing some of my favorite music. I reecently discovered the A*M*A*Z*I*N*G world of indie rock amd lets just say that I’ve got a lot of new perspectives on things. Yeah a paradigm shift. Some of my favorite bands are RaRa Riot, Cold War Kids, and especially Death Cab For Cutie. You should really check them all out. And just to prove how Amazing DCFC is, heres a link to an amazing song… “I Will Follow You Into The Dark“.  Stay chill.
