PLEASE HELP!! poetry??

Question

I have to write two poems for a class. They have to be opposite topics, Like summer and winter, heaven or hell, hot or cold. something like that.

But the catch is, they have to have the same rhyme scheme, same number of syllables in corresponding lines (line one has to have the same number of syllables as line one in poem two, line twos have to have the same number of syllables and so on) and they have to have the same amount of lines.

I know this sounds like a bit much, but it counts as a big grade and im helpless at poetry...anything would be appreciated and anything more then 4 or 5 lines each would be AWESOME.

I will pick a best answer.

and thank you for taking the time

Answer 2

Life and Death are supreme opposites. Insist on that. They can't simply be reduced to comparable syllables. A qualified teacher will understand that logic. Here are the poems to submit for your assignment:

Life Poetry:

Life
by Helen Harvey

The acts of men sometimes come so kind
And with such love do well express, yet
The deeds of men sometimes come so mean
And with great disgust is well despised.
These conflicts unresolved for times,
Someday, somewhere resolves to meet.

Between the times of history gone,
And the evolutions of future come
The present presents a balance point
In a mixing grill of settlement, where
Deeds and events do take their toll
In resolutions of investments made.

Mishap could be just a fair reward,
As life fortune is investment gained.
Opportunity could be just a means,
As occurrences are results obtained.
The pendulum swings to and fro,
Just as the clock ticks, tock and tick.

What goes on around and again,
Does come back again and around
Good or bad, it's all our choice,
For all our thoughts and acts today,
Are investments in the big game plan
Of this unfinished business of life.

Death Poetry:

Ode to Death
By Sri Swami Sivananda

O Death! O Lord Yama! Good-bye unto Thee
Thou art administering the laws of Isvara.
All fall a prey to Thee,
All come into Thy jaws.
?
Thou art time,
Thou art Dharmaraja,
O! Omniscient Kala (Time),
Thou art the dispenser of the Law.
?
Thou art acquainted
With the three periods of time;
Thou once initiated Nachiketas
Into the mysteries of Atman or Brahma-Vidya.
?
I have transcended Time and Death,
I am Eternity.
Where is Time in Eternity?
Time is a mental creation.
?
I have transcended mind,
I am not afraid of Death.
I am beyond Thy reach now,
I bid Thee farewell now.
?
I am grateful for all Thy kind acts.
Salutations unto Thee, O Lord Yama!
I wish to attain Videhamukti now,
I will merge in the Supreme Self.
