I write dark poetry and I would like to see about getting my poems published but I'm not sure who would accept them. Do any of you know any magazines or something along those lines that would accept them?

i think we can all agree that Hassan was a hero in that he demonstrated unconditional love and loyalty and silently sacrifices himself for Amir.
While Amir is the coward he does try to redeem himself-- so in what other ways could you say Amir is a hero?
Thank you all in advance for your responses!

In my 6th grade class, we have to write a Christmas poem. It has to go like Twas the Night Before Christmas's rhyme pattern. It can be about anything Christmas-related though. Does anyone have any ideas for a funny poem about Christmas? I want a hilarious idea.

I truly don't think this is a very good poem, but I'd like to know what you all think.

Thanks in advance.

~The Troubadour~

Isn't it strange, the way we regret
The loss of what has hurt us yet?

One day I met a troubadour.
He was rather blunt, and my feelings were injured.
But it was just what I needed.

"You have a mind, you know what it's for.
Write me a poem filled with your heart.
But if you will not write well, do not ask me to praise it."

I wrote him my poems--I showed him half my soul.
He flattered, and smiled, and I walked away.
Friendliness worried me, and the day turned rainy.

I have learned that two bad halves do not make one whole.
I learned that I should not have stayed.
I should have left, and thus escaped;

And yet I linger where he may see me,
As a shadow, that has already said goodbye.
Oh, sometimes I whisper when the dusk's light is soft:

what are the nine basic stage areas?

2007-12-15 06:13:52 · 5 answers · asked by giggles♥ 3 in Theater & Acting

How can I forgive you
when you hurt me?

How can you live,
when you've abandoned me,
and broken promises you couldn't keep?

How can I heal inside
if I know you won't be here
to love me
the way I should be loved?

How do you sleep at night
when you don't take time to call
to even see about me?

Just leave me in the middle of nowhere,
just 3 months old,
to get your fix,
and drink your drink,
but where was I in your mind?

Was I even in your heart?

I feel like I'm still that child
waiting for someone's love,
someone's affection,
and someone to give me the time of day,
and you're still out there
place unknown,
hurting yourself
and hurting me.

Do you ever get tired?
I just wanna push you away,
because you're no good like this
.
I wish you were my real mother,
and not someone who gave birth
to something.

Is that cupcakes, I smell?
Chocolate's scent, from where the oven dwells?
It is cupcakes! I could eat a pound.
Can't wait to hear the oven door's sound.
Fresh and hot and round!
I could finish you in a bite!
But I savor you slowly, enjoying your life.
My savior so holy, is that you I see?
Come quick everybody!
Jesus is back! On my cupcake!
Well, would you look at that!
Jesus is pulling my teeth out and making me fat!
O! holy cupcakes! Thou must be divine!
To have shown my Lord and savior on such a tasty flavor!
My sister found you and ate you...
have you forgave her?

I am wondering what kind of lens they use to take The Dog photos. I'm sure they edit the photos to make them more adorable, but what lens/or techniques could I use to achieve a similar result? For reference, this is The Dog website http://www.thedog-clubs.com/home.html

And, in trying to reduce camera distortion, did I introduce other kinds of errors?

I posted this under a different question, but someone apparently didn't like it and reported me. Read the caption under the image. I just thought this was a funny picture. No need to answer. I'm just trying to lighten thing up a bit.

Swing the scythe lively, lads
Harvest’s upon us now
Barleycorn’s brown, ready to malt
Fire the peat slowly
Spring water and grist to grind
To sweetwort in washback
Lively yeast is applied

Into the still goes the wash
Caldron will bring us low wine
Then into the spirit still
Last to the oaken barrels
Then stored by the sea
For a very long a time

The Yanks make good Bourbon
Tennessee fired oak style
Using the casks just one time
Send them to Scotland, men
We’ll store strong drink within
To be sipped on,
In thirty years time

One thousand years ago
Ethelred, unready paid
Thirty thousand pounds to the Danes
For two years of peace from their raids
Perhaps if he’d not defica’ ted’
In the Baptismal Font, and in his bed
Olaf Trygvasson’s fleet would have fled
Instead, Ethelred
Ordered them all massa’cred
And on St Brice’s they celebra’ ted
Foot games with heads of the Vikings dead
Sweyn Haraldsson so enraged
Engaged in campaign to win Engl’end
Thrown back in the sea again and again
By Edmund the Ironsi’ed’

In the name of God, Amen.
In men, with names unwritten
For our sovereign, James
Virginia we claim, for the King!
In the year…Anno. Dom. 1620

Covenant and combined together,
Civil Body Politick named.
Proclaimed, order and preservation,
We hereby enact, constitute and frame
A just set of laws of equality

At Cape Cod on November 11th
A promise we make to the King,
Your obedient and submissive colony
All for thee, Lord of Brittan, France and Ireland,
Our Sovereign, fret not, we’re so far away.

My band program is allowing us to switch instruments. I have a clarinet and have been playing since August, and in that time I have become QUITE good. Before I even started playing, the band director said I had a good mouth for clarinet. But I might be switching. Maybe to oboe because of the scholarship options. But then I heard my friend complaining (she plays oboe) about the limited note range. Should I switch? If so, to what? I have gotten used to the clarinet fingerings. so would that be a problem? Can someone give me a list of woodwind instruments and their pros and cons?

I've been running from sleep.
It keeps in pace, steadily at my back.
I'm hunting for restlessness.
Sleep must soon attack.
I keep running, thinking I can't turn back!

zzzz zzz zzz

...No! Wait! I'm back! I'm back!
As I lay in bed, between a leaning room's cracks...
I think to myself...will my room detatch itself in my sleep?
Not really caring, soon to be counting sheep.
Sleep is a game, and I might finally win!
Yet, still I fight it; not wishing my battle done.
I've fought with sleep so much...I think I may be done.
After all, sleep makes "tomorrow" sound fun.
I unlace my running shoes, and 3, 2 ,1..............................

My school just got through putting on the musical, Carousel. We're doing High School Musical (I know =/) now. Auditions are Mon. and they want you to sing a pop-style song. Which song do you think would be better to show off my voice and catch their attention:

Kelly Clarkson - "What's Up Lonely?"
Christina Aguilera - "Genie in A Bottle"
India Arie (not pop, I know) - "I Choose"

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?
