Here's one:

At the edge of it all,
Many a tear may fall.
These dark clouds overwhelm our once clear skies,
Have no fear, though- don't be discouraged- for soon after this dark storm, a bright, happy sun will arise.
Preceding each storm, a miraculous rainbow enlightens our once dark sky,
And onward through a new path of happiness we can now fly.
We all know that at the bottom of each rainbow lies an immense treasure,
And within this treasure may we find our pleasure.

Answer 16

Write a short poem of approximately 10 lines describing an important event (either personal or historical) or an emotional state of mind using rich, connotative language.

What this is asking is for you to choose an important event that either happened in your own life (such as how it felt to win your first game) or in history (such as how the soldiers feel when at war). Or, alternately, you could write about an emotional state of mind (such as sadness or happiness.
What it means by using connotative words is to use words that have a special meaning to you, rather than just simply the dictionary definition of the word.

Answer 17

oh ok

Answer 18

know that makes a sence

Answer 19

So, for instance, if you were to write about sadness, it could go like this:

A clear blue sky of which birds fly,
A warm, bright sun that brings much fun.
Overshadowed by a dark grey cloud as birds come falling from the sky.
Here I stand and I watch, as my tears run.
Why, why must we all die?
We never know when our time is done.
What is this sadness that makes me cry?
Why has the dark cloud won?
This imminent death, this dark cloud, it's all so sly.
It's impossible to outrun.
I stay here, wasting away as the birds die at the bay.
Until my days left reach none.

Answer 73

Sometimes poem requires your shining imagination. Try to be outside of your thinking box. For instance instead of using the language by means of literal communication try to draw and let it transcend to your mind with your subconscimous. Let ot flow along with your thoughts

Answer 74

Sometimes let your honesty take over the common sense. Leave the literal conventions behind. Weave your pieces with utmost of your instinct.

Answer 75

Exactly, that was very well said. I don't think I could have said it any better.

Poem can be used in normal writing ehXD Sometimes poems are melodramatic so they border on imaginative writing and literary jargon. One needs to be cautious
