Poems, Some Rambling...What Else Is New?

Once again (this is becoming a bad habit) I have neglected the blogging world. Bad, bad me. And I am about to do it again, when I really don't write anything of importance in this post. Only to say I shall be back! And soon!

And to post this, a sonnet I wrote for English class. (Atleast I got one positive thing out of the 7 thousand years of homework I've been doing, right?) We had to write it about an object that gave us strong emotion. I wrote mine about my hate-love relationship with my violin. Maybe i should have written it about my hate-love relationship with iambic pentameter instead... anyway, for your potential reading pleasure, here you go:

Hate, Love, Sore Fingers, and Soul

The wooden box inside the wooden box,
Has yet to show the music that it makes.
The notes inside my head are not unlocked,
My confidence, though not begun, still breaks.

The notes, the page, they swim before my eyes,
But still the bow presses onto the string.
The melodies, the harmonies, subside,
Yet I still play, head set on finishing.

I hold my breath, release into the sound,
And now I know the reason that I try.
To know myself, relax in what I’ve found,
Now this is music as my fingers fly.

It’s hate, and love, and sore fingers, and soul,
Emotions bend, break under my violin bow.


So that's the sonnet.
Something potentially of note, that I didn't mention before....
I performed at our school's Coffee House on Friday night. It was really really fun...i did two covers: Halleluah, by Leonard Cohen, and I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends, by the Beatles (the best band ever, of course) and then one original song I wrote, called Crooked Valentine. Maybe I will post it here someday.

Until that day, my blogging friends, farewell. I am off to battle the evil monster of homework, and this time, I shall win.
