Zodiac Poems~Taurus---Money

Taurus---Money

Money,

Something that everyone loves.

People always say

That money can’t buy everything.

But there are people,

Who disagree with this saying.

Money

Can buy everything.

Directly or not,

But money can buy all the things.

Food, houses, furniture,

Thing that are necessary

And what we can buy with money.

These things have one thing in common,

They have

Prices.

Money

Can also buy things indirectly.

Fame, authority, happiness,

Things that can make life easier.

We don’t need that to live,

But we cannot deny

That these things make us feel good.

Money,

People say it cannot buy happiness,

They are wrong.

If you have billions of green stuff,

You will be able to buy

Anything you want.

You can enjoy the wealth

That the majority of people

Will never enjoy.

If you are not satisfied,

You can also give the money away,

Donate it to people

Who has real need.

This is another way,

That money can buy,

Or bring happiness

Among people.

Money,

Most people give it a special place in their heart.

But everything has two sides,

Don’t be fooled by the pretty face

Of money.

Zodiac Poems~Aries---Aria

Aries---Aria

The outstanding melody,

That carves into people’s mind.

The noticeable notes,

That fly into people’s ear.

She wants attention,

From people.

The sound is pure,

But harmonic.

Different from Recitativo,

Which is made up with words,

And speaking.

Boring,

Without any music.

Unlike Arioso,

Stands in between Aria,

And Recitativo.

It doesn’t belong to any.

Indifference,

Whether it wants melodies or words.

Aria,

With her melody flies far away,

Until it hits the edge of sky.

Then

It will bounce back,

So more people can hear it.

She wants attention,

From the whole world.

Doesn’t like accompaniment,

That will never stand out,

And be noticed by people.

Staying in the background,

She rather comes forward,

And let everyone realize that

She is there with her songs of rights.

Aria,

Using her voice,

Spreads her melody to the world.

But,

That is never enough for her.

She raises her pitch,

And writes out more phrases,

That can be easily noticed.

Her music,

Along with her expression,

Floats into the sky,

Beyond the atmosphere.

The universe,

Will be able to hear her melody

Of purity.

This Is Just to Say Parody

This is just to say
(Poem of William Carlos Williams, This is just to say parody)

I have got
The love
That was supposed
To be yours

And which
You were probably
Falling in
For days

Forgive me
That was not my purpose
So careless
And so unpredictable

Free verse poem---The Loneliness of Nature

The Loneliness of Nature

So much despair
Approaches

A grey lonely
Wolf

Howling with the blue corn
moon

Along one peaceful
Brook

History Recalls---Will the Bloody Rainfall reappear?

   History Recalls---Will the Bloody Rainfall reappear?

   History Report

    Today our inspectors have found two mutants with the exact appearance of the true image of God, but with a devil in their mind. This is a new type of mutant, which is more dangerous than other mutants since people can’t tell the difference by looking at them. The two mutants that have been captured told us that there are more people who are their kind, so more people are participating in the chasing and finding action. That makes us wondering, will this be the prelude of the next battle between the Norm and the Mutants?

    What happened today recalls us to the day fifty years ago. I believe most people haven’t forgot that significant event. Gordon Strom, the eldest brother of the Strom family was found out to be mutant. When he was born, nobody realized that he is different. As he grows older, his arms are getting longer and longer, which draws everybody’s attention. From that day, Gordon has been banished to Badlands, where all image of devil lives. Several years later, his brother, Joseph Strom was born with the true image, and eventually he becomes the leader of people who against mutants. On the other hand, Gordon Strom has become the leader of mutants.

    This led us to the first battle between the image of God and Devil. The battle went on for exactly two weeks, and we could possibly call it the Bloody Rainfall, for it caused so many deaths on both sides. Gordon Strom was the commander of all anguish mutants, who didn’t believe that they are different. Gordon met his brother Joseph Strom on the battlefield and he hoped his brother could have mercy for them. They had a brief conversation but Joseph was resolute about the definition of man. Joseph also told Gordon that he would never confirm a mutant as his brother. This particular phrase made Gordon felt like the sky had just fell, but he had to accept the reality.

    After that battle, Gordon Strom was known as the “Spider-man” because of his extra long arms. He took his people further more from Waknuk, and started their civilization in Badlands.

    The story of Gordon Strom quickly rose upon Waknuk. Since then the examine process of new born babies are getting strict, every baby has to be carefully checked by professional inspector. This event always gives people the alarm that mutants are dangerous and outrages, and we must sweep them away before they can do anything.

    Everything goes on well until today. The new type of mutant can do “thought-shape”, which we call it telepathy. They can communicate with each other without saying a single word, and this makes them more threatening to people.

    The devil in their mind will come out someday in the future. We have to be prepared for that or the history may reappear.

Waknuk on the World

Waknuk on the World
(Found Poetry from John Wyndham's The Chrysalids)
Catherine L, Claire L, Supissara P, Winnie S, Helen Y

Our district Waknuk, 
with a tradition from long long ago.

The world was thought to be big and round.

The civilized part called Labrador round by sea and fish, and cold.

No one could live long,

Although there were only two cold months.
(Chapter 1)

Commandments and precepts

One learns as a child

The definition of man recited itself

Each leg has one foot, each foot has five toes

The definition of man must be a mistake
(Page 10~14)

Our district Waknuk, 
With a tradition from long long ago.

The long bank, 
Running away until it reached the hills.

The huge scar, 
That must have been made by the Old People.
(Page 17)

Commandments and precepts

The Norm is the Image of God，

The Thing accursed in the sight of God and man，

The devil has pronounced his mark through mutiny，

But the true image is contradictory.
(Page 10, 27)

Our district Waknuk, 
With a tradition from long long ago.

It was simply the bank,

Running straight towards the hills

I regarded the country there as foreign

Not so much hostile, as outside my territory

(Page 6)
