The Poets Corner

The Poets Corner

Writing a poem is discovering — Robert Frost

This is a group for poetry lovers. Here you can post your own poems, poems by others that you like and anything related to poetry. Since poetry is so steeped with metaphors and verbal word play, this is an excellent way for English students who love poetry to be able read, share and discuss poetry and its meanings with other poetry lovers.

If anyone is interested I’m teaching a free class on “The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock” next month. Please check my profile for more details. Thanks!

If you’re serious about your poetry, you need to practice reading it in front of people.

Check out this class—not mine, and free:

Cause ya see I’m possessed
So I dont care about the rest
and all them awful thoughts yall got goin on
I just get it off my chest
and i dont care about all them awful thoughts yall got goin on
cause if it aint a contribution your just a destruction
You can bring yourself to the lowest places
i’ll cut the cord and watch ya fall cause you aint bringin me down with ya

Sit back or join forces while we rise to the top

I see ya sittin there starin at the tv
since when is the tv our source of inspiration?
or our source of relaxation?
its our place to come together
like a prehistoric firepit
exept instead of sharing stories
and dreaming up our future
we handcuff our souls
and lock away the mind
like i said this life isn’t for me

so sit back join forces while we rise to the top

bring me that positive energy
it might be burried deep
deep deep deep
some day you’ll learn
to hide it up your sleeve
and pull it out real quick
when a brother is in need

sit back or join forces while we rise to the top :)

Hi Laura :) It is very nice to meet you. I am sure you will love teaching here!

Debbie H

Thanks so much Norm. It must have been an amazing adventure with more to come. The pics are really great! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Oh… Umm.. The spider pic was very scary to me!

@Marc I am glad that you are enjoying it. We truly do have such a unique community. I have said this before many times but I really cannot imagine life without eduFire.
As for tips, I don’t believe you have been to the Make you eduFire class run smoothly yet. They are very helpful to attend, as much so as the orientation itself. The forums are also a great resource for information.
Advertising yourself is the key to success and you can be as creative as you like. Anything from advertising in your local store to advertising yourself on the internet. Look out for classes also on eduFire that help with marketing. It takes time but the teachers that take these steps are the most successful.
I look forward to seeing you around eduFire :)

Debbie H

Hi Norm! It is great to see you back here and it is so good to hear how eduFire helped in your move :) Please do tell us more about your time in Guinea, if you don’t mind that is!

Debbie H

Hi Suzanne! I am not sure if you can search for that or not. I am sure a flashcard expert will be along shortly to answer your question :)
