Music Poem

Nothing is so beautiful as the sound of Music

The synchronizing of the instruments, radiating the sounds of cadence and joy

The strumming of the guitar showing the passion and love

The sound of a piano note showing sorrow and regret

The sound of a singer crackling with pain and agony

Telling a story with every word he scribes

One that relates to others,

The Outcasts it touches inside

Touching upon the themes of rebellion and to “trying to feel forever young”

And the universal feeling of being in love giving the sensation of

“Stomach being tied in Knots”

Acrostic Poem

Composers creating a new sound

Inspiration drawn from mind

Singer: Tenor leggiero

Unification of sounds

Musical Instruments singing

Musica!

The word music can have variety of connotations with each individual. When creating this Word “Map” I chose words that best correlated with what I best believe have to do with music. Although some words branch off to even more connotative words that may not even be on the same sphere as the word Music these branches start from specifics to create something more magical. From “Vocals” to “Storytelling,” these words are apart of music since some might appeal to a certain artist due to the Vocal performance on song, while others connect to another band since they enjoy the band because of the amazing skills of writing lyrical songs that take a new perspective on storytelling.

RACE!

Revving of the engines

Acceleration pedal floored

Cars lining up

Eight speed transmission

Homework, Oh Homework

Someone to do my homework at night

Must have legible handwriting

Good at mathematical equations without leaving a zero behind

Must know how to write poetry

Must never fatigue, like I do

that you just say “I’m done with this” and make your journey towards your bed

flicking the light switch off

If you succeed, you will surpass all others

Let The Seminar Begin!

This past week my classmates and I took part in a socratic seminar that was broadcasted live on YouTube. The story we discussed within the seminar none other than the piece of Alice Walker, “Everyday Use,” where Walker presents us with the setting in South Georgia where an African American family dwell. The family consists of “Mama,” Dee, and Maggie where family tensions between Mama and Dee are pretty intense after the events that had occurred where Dee had burned down the house and left without acknowledging them of her absence. However, she returns to her family with her new husband, who happens to be Muslim, to reclaim the quilts that were once offered to her since she her endeavor made her realize the value of the quilts. With such a touching story that promotes the importance of family values, this story was sure a great one to discuss. About each and every one of my partners in the had given their insight about the story spilling their ideas out to other members of the group to make sure they’re well understood. When I was explaining to my peers my own interpretation of the story in the aspect that Mama didn’t give Dee, or in this instance Wagnero, since she believed that out of the two daughters Maggie deserved the quilts more since Maggie would use the quilts how quilts should be used and Dee would use them as display to promote her “African” tradition. Many agreed with the fact that Dee was unworthy for the quilts since her loyalty never always lied with her mother therefore basing her choice out of preference within her children. Although only a few of my classmates stayed quiet like Gabby, the Socratic Seminar was quite productive, not only having agreements but disagreements as well with ideological characteristics seeping out bit by bit.
