Need help w/ poems (read to understand)

this is not a "i forgot my project plz help me" this is a "my friend hijacked my work and now im ****ed"

i woke up today and realized my friend never gave me my project back (he was using it as a guide to finish his) weve been working on poetry in english over the past 6weeks or so, and throughout that time we have had to write our own poems. well they were due today, and i, realizing my friend jacked mine (and is currently outa town due to a funeral) i have to recreate all my shit. so im askin for the help of the tallented here at bf.

anyways heres the guidelines:

1. Romantic Poem
-A. A poem of 30-40 lines or three poems each 10-15 lines long
-B. Creative Title
-C. Each poem must include 3 elements of romantic poetry (Love of nature, emotion over logic, presence of the supernatural, innocence, individuality, spontaneity). On the back of each poem there must be an explination of the three romantic elements youve included.
-D. Illustrate elaborately.

2. Fear Imitation

-A. A poem of 14 lines minimum explaining something you fear you won't be able to accomplish before you die.
-B. Creative Title
-C. Maintain a specific rhyme scheme
-D. Illustrate elaborately

3. Apostrophe Imitation
-A. A poem of 15 lines minimum in which you address a non-living or non-human subject
-B. Creative Title
-C. Illustrate elaborately.

4. Purpose of Life Poem
-A. A poem in which you question the purpose of life. Questions to consider- but not necessary to answer- could include: is life enjoyable? is it sorrowful? is god around us? has god left us?
-B. Creative Title
-C. No other restrictions

5. Poem from the grave
-A. Write your own poem of exactly 4 quatrains from the grave in which you answer one of the following questions: What problems do you have with humanity/society -OR- Who do you hope is upset by your death? What do you hope they sy about you? What would you like to say to them?
-B. Creative Title
-C. Elaborately Illustrated.

6. Individual Poem #1
-A. Write a poem about anything in any way that you want
-B. Crative Title

7. Individual Poem #2
-A. Write a poem about anything in any way that youw ant
-B. Crative Title
-C. Elaborately Illustrated.



NOTE: "romantic poetry" by that it means "Romanticism" im sure alot of u know what it is, but for those who dont, its like making a big deal outa something thats pointless and small,
Ex: "Ohh what a daring task on the rise of the autumn sun i must mend my whool and partake in taking it up, but sorrowful i am when i must brign them down the release the toxins within" ie: "gotta put the damn underwear on just to take them off when i need to shit"

interesting example eh? i just made it so be proud of me

obviously i can/will do the illustrations myself. ima be working on these all day probably so if anyoen wants to hel pyou can IM me on aim via Dragnskull or at msn via Dragnskull@hotmail.com

or if ur feelin really "go-gettem" then u can just submit a piece of work here

ill try and pay back anyone who helps by gving them some amount of gill (not sure how much cause i dunno how many ppl help) but yeah, thanks all!

Individual Poem#6

What is Money Really Worht?
Money is something we all have, want, need, and take advantage of.
Its worth is based upon the amount of money in possesion.
Its form has changed substantionatly while mankind has been around.
From rocks to paper form, to electronic form.
But with its many advancements wat value does it truly hold?
So many people women as the worst case do malicious things to themselves "selling" their bodies to get money.
That is from my point of view terrible, money has no value taht exceeds the worht of a himan being.
On ebay someone was trying to sell their soul.
I would say that is by far the most ignorant thing one can do for money.
Surprisingly moneys worht has gone that far, it isnt wat is right but wat other people intrupret their value of money.
During the depression rich people that lost it all to the stock market flung themselves from tall buildings to die.
All would have goten rich again and could have spaired their lives if they endured the depression.
But their minds were already poisoned by what their money meant to them.
Such a high worth taht money has people tend to steal it.
Money was meant to be earned, working hard spending valuable time and breaking ones back.
Never the less its worht is only meant for materiel things.
Your values might be different.
But mine dont hurt, take advantage or mistreat people in any way or form.


theres one its ok i guess, here is one from a frined of mine not on bf

In the depths of solidtude
i exist in the depths of solitude
pondering my true goal
trying 2 find peace of mind
and still preserve my soul
constantly yearning 2 be accepted
and from all receive respect
never comprising but sometimes risky
and that is my only regret
a young heart with an old soul
how can there be peace
how can i be in the depths of solitude
when there r 2 inside of me
this duo within me causes
the perfect oppurtunity
2 learn and live twice as fast
as those who accept simplicity



i likes it i got a gf so i will post a love one once i get it goin in my mind

heres another:
When your hero falls
when your hero falls from grace
all fairy tales r uncovered
myths exposed and pain magnified
the greatest pain discovered
u taught me 2 be strong
but im confused 2 c u so weak
u said never 2 give up
and it hurts 2 c u welcome defeat
when ure hero falls so do the stars
and so does the perception of tomorrow
without my hero there is only
me alone 2 deal with my sorrow
your heart ceases 2 work
and your soul is not happy at all
what r u expected 2 do
when ure only hero falls

its his fav poem the best of the best out of my friend
P.S. i dont no how 2 edit so sry 4 double posting
