Open Question: Help with a poetry question?
How does Frost create a sense of isolation and seclusion through the use of diction and sentence structure in Acquainted with the Night? I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted sob Came over houses from another road, But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, A luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night.

Open Question: What would you make of this? (ladies perspective appreciated)?
So there's this girl I got to uni with and we only share one class so we don't look each other regularly. Anyway, she had recently broke up with a guy she was sort of seeing and Valentines day was closing in. She told me how she hadn't been alone on Valentines day for a couple of years, and then jokingly said I should receive her a card. Valentine day comes, and we look each other and she asks (once again mockingly) where her card was. So I said I would write her a poem to make up for it, and I asked what type of poem she would like. She said a adore poem. I wrote the poem. Next time I look her, she says she put the poem on her wall. She invites me to her birthday, but I couldn't make it for various reasons. After her birthday she tells me about the poem on her wall again, and says I should write her a new one for her birthday. I didn't, but I have given it some thought. Do you think she's trying to make her ex-BF jealous with these shows of affection from other guys, or do you think she's artsy and just likes poetry? The poem was pretty solid by me. As we don't look each other that often it's difficult to gauge how she feels. The poem thing is the only sign there's really been to be honest. From my perspective it feels like one way traffic, like I'm doing these things and getting nothing in return. So I jokingly said I wanted her to invent a dance with jazz hands included. She kinda did a little dance on the spot, but I feel like I need to address the imbalance. I do like this girl, but you know, I don't want to make a fool of myself or just be an ego boost. Any advice? What should be my next action?

Open Question: What type of writing is this?
I was mad when I started writing this, but I'm not sure what it is. Is it a journal, short story, or what? People every around are quick to define one’s creativity As inappropriate or not good enough Simply because it is not like the others that they have Taken the time to look after experiencing them Being forced down their throats every their lives. Little kids are taught from Kindergarten that Poetry has a particular formation about it That almost always rhymes or flows together In a way that is like Shakespeare, Poe, or Another poet with a name to long to even recall. Teachers, well meaning teachers, are telling students that They have the wrong interpretation of poetry And that it doesn’t mean what they think it means but What the author says it means even though he’s been Lying in a grave somewhere for many years and Never once wrote down the meaning behind his words. This is how many in the world are brought up, with a closed minded view Of the one word that means unique…creativity. look, creativity to me is stepping outside of the way That you are used to things being and instead Stepping into your heart and bringing forth your Views and opinions to others in the theme of arts Like poetry that doesn’t rhyme or conform to anyone’s Standards but your possess. Do not allow anyone else to oppress what you find Truly beautiful in your possess view. Step up and live for the definition behind the word creativity; “To use your imagination to create new things or ideas” And where else does your imagination arrive from Than inside of your possess heart?

Open Question: Mucharda, maybe you will find this interesting.?
Yoúr answer to my question interested me, and I would like to clear the things out. You wrote: “you're right, Palestinians genetically aren't Arab”. Of course the true Palestinians genetically are not Arabs! They are Jews. In case you do not know this; Jews lived in Palestine, created the Torah and formed there two pretty mighty kingdoms in the time when Arabs were still driving camels in Arabia and were just a bunch of illiterate savages. “I guess we'll just ignore every those pesky population surveys”. This is what I like in Arabs! As soon as the survey contains something that does not support their point of view, they say something like “I guess we'll just ignore every those pesky population surveys” “ Oh and Adriaan Reland never left the Netherlands”. Really? He lived in the 17th century – and you talk about this as a witness. I did not know you were that old to be his companion in his trips “And Nablus had a Muslim population of about 20,000 in the middle 19th century, ONE city (B. B. Doumani, The political economy of population counts in Ottoman Palestine: Nablus, Circa 1950, International Journal of Middle East Studies, Vol 26 (1994) 1-17).” MUSLIM- right. ARAB- no. It´s the trick you Arabs always use when talking to the naïve Europeans or Americans: “Muslim” is automatically associated in their heads with “Arab”. But it´s not so. Arabs lost Palestine to the Turks – who were ALSO Muslims. So, the population of Nablus was predominantly MUSLIM- but it was not ARAB. “ odd that you say Ibn Khaldun as a credible historian…” - Ibn Khaldun was not “ a credible historian”??? The author of the Muqaddimah which is studied in the Western Universities until now is not “ a credible historian”? You have the nerve. So, Ibn ishaq, together with Ibn Hisham, are not “credible historians”, because “Sirat RasulAllah” contains facts of Muhammad´s life you arabs would prefer to keep very well hidden, like the extermination of Banu Quraiza. Tabari is not “ a credible historian” because he wrote the truth about how Muhammad ordered to kill Ka’b bin Al Ashraf only because he wrote better poetry than Muhammad. Waqidi is not “ a credible historian” because he in his "Kitab al-Tarikh wa al-Maghazi" wrote about the oceans of blood shed by Muslims during their “peaceful spreading of islam”... The only “credible historian” is, of course, muhammad himself, with his sensational discovery that Alexander The Great was Muslim, and the only “credible “ historical book is the Quran… Give me a break. “he claimed Jews altered the Torah from the true word of God; and acquired Canaan through genocide”. It only proves that he was a very credible historian; the asseverations that the “Jews altered the Torah” are being made by Muslims from the time of Muhammad –and until today. And about the “genocide” through which Jews acquired Canaan: I do not know if it was “ a genocide”, but that the Ancient Hebrews had killed quite a lot of the Canaanites, including the civilians – it´s a fact nobody can deny. “In 1920, the League of Nations' Interim Report on the Civil Administration of Palestine stated that there were 700,000 people living in Palestine, four-fifiths being Arab”. Lie. This is the quote of the League of Nations' Interim Report on the Civil Administration of Palestine of 1920 (http://domino.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/9a798adbf322aff38525617b006d88d7/349b02280a930813052565e90048ed1c?OpenDocument ) : “There are now in the whole of Palestine hardly 700,000 people, a population much less than that of the province of Gallilee alone in the time of Christ… Four-fifths of the whole population are Moslems. A tiny proportion of these are Bedouin Arabs; the remainder, although they talk Arabic and are termed Arabs, are largely OF MIXED RACE”. So, 4/5 of the population were Muslims- but NOT Arabs. The fact that you talk English does not make you British, you know. “Muqaddasi didn't say that Jerusalem was devoid of Muslims”, If you can find any other interpretation to the phrase “the mosque is empty of worshipers... The Jews constitute the majority of Jerusalem's population”, then you must be a highly creative person. “By the way he says the mosque in Jerusalem was one of the largest in the world "the mosque is among the largest, and nowhere are holy places more numerous". Absolutely right. Jerusalem had only one mosque, but it was among the largest in the world. And of course, nowhere in the world you can find a place with more holy places than in Jerusalem. The problem is that these Holy places are only Jewish or Christian – not Islamic. And in general in Jerualem of Muqaddasi, “Everywhere the Christians and Jews have the upper hand, and the mosque is void of either congregation or assembly of learned men. (Muqaddasi 1896: 37). http://www.bu.edu/mzank/Jerusalem/tx/muqqadasi.htm “I think we're done here” On this, you are absolutely right.

Open Question: What you like to see a Bible written about today?
The Bible was written by ordinary people and it records how God effected their lives. But there is so much interaction with God now. Miracles are performed, prayers are answered, we continue to write poetry and songs in worship, so wouldn't it be great for everyone to record how God's adore and wisdom continues to effect their lives today? Has anyone got any thoughts on a website offering this? It is through testimonies and sharing that we grow in faith and friendship with each other. There are 2.1 billion Christians world wide, if just a tiny percentage of their stories could be captured and read by others, wouldn't this be amazing. After every every Christian as a story!

Open Question: I can`t believe..........?
I can`t believe the unhappy news about Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse. I don`t know any other huge fans in person and I was hoping somebody on here might commiserate. Why did he do this?! it's so incredibly unhappy and shocking. he seemed like such a gentle soul. his music is some of the most beautiful and deeply underrated of every time and his lyrics were always poetry to me. I can`t believe he`s gone.. and at his possess hand. it makes me want to sob but I can hardly believe it's even true. every I can feel is shock. I thought he was going to release a new album soon. I hoped to one day shake his hand did you even read it? :( I'm asking other people what they think. why do you have to be so rude? :| I am praying for him.. he was such a beautiful soul

Open Question: Critique a love poem? 10 Points to most constructive answer.?
[ The one who said no. ] http://allpoetry.com/poem/6153132 - - - Treading, beating, hanging with each step of a broken heart bound by the scars of the trees abound. One more step and a tear will fall to the ground. One more screwed up face contorted where those tears are found. I turn around in a circle and look up to the sky around Goosebumps, standing hair, and broken thoughts keep me on edge in this place. If only the one, if only a few, if only everyone could have seen my face. My face as I walked alone in this jungle. Lost without a trace. If only the one put her hand upon my chin and wiped my tears away with her grace. Tonight I decide, I think, I believe, I hate, I adore, I cannot let it go I would have cleared the clouds over if I could have you know If only one more step would heal me, I would take that seed and sow. But one more step gets me farther away from the one, the one, the one who said no. - - - I know the title is sort of bland as is the ending line. But It has a special meaning and I am not sure what else to go with. I have more poems on Allpoetry.com http://allpoetry.com/poem/6153132 Check them out if your interested in my poetry. Btw... this isn't a rejection poem as the title and ending would guide you to believe. It is really about her saying "No more" rather than a rejecting No. It is what I wrote to describe the feelings I felt when I went to blow some steam off. It also describes emotions I felt when I worked at a mall at night, walking alone in the empty mall with music in the background.

Open Question: Victor Hugo's Man and Woman?
Can Anybody explain these lines? Well, I can understand them but I need expert's opinion on these lines. Thanks a bunch! Man is the most elevated of creatures, lady the most sublime of ideals. God made for man a throne; for lady an altar. The throne exalts, the altar sanctifies. Man is the brain, lady, the heart. The brain creates light, the heart, adore. Light engenders, adore resurrects. Because of reason Man is strong. Because of tears lady is invincible. Reason is convincing, tears, moving. Man is capable of every heroism, lady of every martyrdom. Heroism ennobles, martyrdom sublimates. Man has supremacy, lady, preference. Supremacy is strength, preference is the right. Man is a genius, lady, an angel. Genius is immeasurable, the angel indefinable. The aspiration of man is supreme glory, The aspiration of lady is extreme virtue. Glory creates every that is great; virtue, every that is divine. Man is a code, lady a gospel. A code corrects; the gospel perfects. Man thinks, lady dreams. To think is to have a worm in the brain, to dream is to have a halo on the brow. Man is an ocean, lady a lake. The ocean has the adorning pearl, the lake, dazzling poetry. Man is the flying eagle, lady, the singing nightingale. To fly is to conquer space. To sing is to conquer the soul. Man is a temple, lady a shrine. Before the temple we discover ourselves, before the shrine we kneel. In short, man is found where earth finishes, lady where heaven begins.

Open Question: What doo you think of my poems?
I've been writing poetry for awhile now, and I was wondering if i'm really any good at it. So here aree two poems, take a look.. and tell me what you think and pick a favouritee?? POEM #1. How could you reassure me that everything was fine when with each and every passing day your were stepping further over the line Telling me you adore me only to tell me that you don't Telling me that things will be fine when I know they won't I can't believe you would tell me that you adore me so much and go on and on and on about the future and such to tell me that I'm nothing completely unknown to you I thought you were a better person and that is something you wouldn't do I don't know what's going on i've stepped out from the person inside when I start to feel every those emotions it makes me want to hide normally I'd run to you but that I can no longer do i'm trying my hardest to grin and tug myself through but I wake up in the morning thinking about you. POEM #2. Tears well in my eyes this comes as no surprise yet I didn't think you were capable of keeping such lies My thoughts are scattered my heart starts to shatter I'm beggining to feel like to you I no longer matter Your answers are luring but not reassuring her comments are questionable and caused the pain i'm enduring It's difficult to believe you when everything you say is crafted to perfection lined to make me feel a certain way You know i'm gulable and you know i'm weak and you know that when you make a promise I'm unable to talk I want to be sure and I want to believe but trust is something with you I have yet to acheive You tell me don't worry and I answer simply okay and push back that emotion of feeling betray Beyond my understanding I don't know what you do But being truthful to me is completely up to you.

Open Question: The meaning to this song: "How do you love" by collective soul?
I've always adored this tune, I read somewhere that he wrote it for his ex wife, but that was an unreliable source, and I'm not sure if its true. Anyways, what does he mean when he says "calendar of days just for you" and also.. "when your angels cant sing.." (pretty sure its sing, not look, right?). also what does this part mean: "this space where you've been living, has gifts you've never given, thats the face you always show. Ask me for words of wisdom, tell me of your condition. I dont know.." its every poetry.. and I'm terrible at breaking apart poetry :)
