Mother Kept Her Word

http://www.scribd.com/doc/25881345/English-Uncle-Tom-s-Cabin-Poem
This is a piece inspired by the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was written in the 1800's and is about slavery in the United States. I really enjoyed this book and it is now one of my favorites. I wrote about the bond between a mother and son, both of whom are slaves, when all they had was each other. It really touched me, and i hope you enjoy it as well!

Life Poem

This is a poem that I had written about life. I was going through a time in my life when I had to choose between following the crowd, or finding my inner self. I believe that when you read this you might also start searching for your inner self. There rhyming couplets within this poem.

Fate

I was inspired to write this poem after reading Romeo and Juliet. I found it really interesting how the whole story relied on fate. It was fate that brought them together, and in the end; fate that led to their death. It's not very good, but i hope you like it! Address please(:

Blinks

This is TWO poems. I write, and then it's too short. I try to expand, but all that happens is the words get longer. The first was a freewrite. The second has no title yet. Suggestions welcome. I wrote that after talking to a friend about some arts school and then having a weird dream the next night about waking up from this life into another one and wondering if it's actually as much of a dream as sleep. I'm still confused.

A letter to Randy

I have recently read the non fiction book called The Last Lecture, By Randy Pausch. In this book, the man, Randy, is suffereing from a terminal illness. He is obviously not going to be able to continue his job as a professor, so he has to give what is called a Last Lecture. The day he is supposed to give the lecture, is the same as his wife, Jai's, birthday. For this piece, I chose to write a letter to Randy, assuming the position of Jai.

Jade Nelson- Goodbye, Mask

http://www.scribd.com/doc/26120312/Goodbye-Mask

I felt the need to write this poem after multiple epiphanies I had going into high school. With the help of family and close friends, I'm in the process of finding myself, and discovering who I want to be. How can anyone do that while hiding their inner-being?
