Assignment#3

Poem #1

Red

Red
A soul finally free
Flying through heaven
Watching over us
At peace in her world
Happiness finally found
In death
Released form ALS
Finally back to her old self
Leaving behind family
Starting a new journey
Forever loving Gene
Daughters and grandson
What does death really mean?
Release from pain
A new start for our eternal body
Still many unanswered questions
For the living,
Not knowing whether to go on
Questioning life, God, holy spirit?
Promising to come back as a dragonfly
Keeping our memories alive
But, waiting for us to enter the gates of heaven
Red

Poem #2

A ribbon

For me the color is blue,
But, red will also do,
For showing my horse,
At a county fair.

With great anticipation,
I sit on my horse,
Awaiting the fianl decision,
Oh, I hope we win a blue.

Assignment # 2

1. The song I am going to look at today is Big and Rich, "Comin' To Your City." I first found out about this song from the radio. I was listening to the radio in the car and this song came up. My sister is a big country fan, so I ask her what it was about. I listen to it again and found out that I really like it. I found this song to be very interesting. My sister was the one that introduced this song to me and the world of country music.

2. I found this song to hit my soul because it makes me think of the times I get to spend with my horses. It makes my mind think back to all the good memories I have with my sister and my horses. When I feel sad because I miss my horses I just listen to this song and it makes me feel better.

3. "Well we're comin to your city
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song
We'll all be flyin high that a jet air liner
And if you want a little band in you ying yang come along."
Big and Rich

This passage is about how Big and Rich band is coming to where you live. The band is going to play a song and sing a song about country. The people that are listening are going to have a great time.

4. How do you feel about country music? Do you have any experiences with music? Do you enjoy the idea of the word country?

Prompt

I was suprised by the songs from Big and Rich. The song is Comin' To Your City. I was very suprised because I am not a person who likes music. I have a i-pod, but do not listen to it. In this song, it made me think about what music really is. I found out that I really like country music. Now, I listen to my i-pod. I have a lot of country music on it.

playing always with friends
no cares
kicking, jumping, having fun

I am like a dog, quiet, sensitive, sweet
sniffing grass
Running with friends
Barking at birds

I am like a cat quiet, small, beautiful
Sitting watching prey
Casing dogs
Sleeping with sun beaming in

I am like a fish, free, small, scally
Swimming with no cares
Eating fierce all night
Watching hands hit my tank

I am
