Relationships come in different forms, and can be love or hate. 2

I think that there are some similarities in the poems I have chosen. The main similarity is the different forms of relationships, like love and conflict. What caught my attention in the poems is that the strong feelings of the writers. In the poem, How to Kill a Living Thing, there is one line that caught my attention, which is “Split it with one blow Insert a stone To keep the wound wide open”. This line touched me and reminded me of the situation in my home country, Palestine. It reminded me of how every single family has a wound wide open in there heart, because of a sibling, or any family member that they lost. I personally took it as when the soldiers kill innocent people basically try to hit the family and wound them and keep the wound wide open and make them just think of the person they love has died. In the other poems the ones about love, what caught my attention was how the writer is talking about love and actually taking us in to the really world of love, and how its full of imagination. In the poem “All Because Of You,” there was a stanza that I liked that reminded me of my old love companion. “Every time I think of something sad, I replace the thought- with you! My mind is instantly changed And my heart is filled with gladness.” I have related this stanza to my personal experience because when I was in love with my lovely girl, she made me happy all the time and no matter how she was feeling. Everyday I would wake up thinking of her. Some times I would be in a really bad mood and right away I would think of her and the mood will automatically change to being happy.
The reason I have chosen this theme “Relationships come in different forms, and can be love or hate.” Is because as soon as I have read the poems it automatically reminded me of my self and how I went through the same thing.


1) A BETTER TOMORROW
Author: Yvonne Warren
I never knew there would be a better tomorrow
But you've come into my life and taken away all my sorrow

My days of sadness are a thing of the past
Because I have found true love at last

My days of emptiness are gone for good
Because you fill a void in my heart that you should

You've opened a window
You've shown me the light
And my love for you will continue to burn bright.


2) A BRAND NEW DAY
Author: Aeni
Rest your head and close your eyes
Everything will be okay
For when you wake with the sweet sunrise
It will be a brand new day
Turn down the lights and pull me close
Feel only the beating of our hearts as we lay
For when you wake with the soft morning breeze
It will be a brand new day
Relax your body and caress my soft hair
Let all of life's worries melt away
For when you wake with the warm summer scent
It will be a brand new day
Fall fast asleep and dream with me
Whisper "I love you, I'm here to stay"
For when we wake in each other's arms
It will be a brand new day

3) A CUTE POEM FOR A CUTE GIRL
Author: Anonimous
You changed my world with a blink of an eye
That is something that I can not deny
You put my soul from worst to best
That is why I treasure you my dearest Marites
You just don't know what you have done for me
You even pushed me to the best that I can be
You really are an angel sent from above
To take care of me and shower with love
When I'm with you I will not cry even a single a tear
And your touch have chased away all of my fear
You have given me a life that I could live worthwhile
It is even better everytime you smile
It so magical those things you've made
To bring back my faith that almost fade
Now my life is a dream come true
It all began when I was loved by you
Now I have found what I am looking for
It's you and your love and nothing more
Co'z you have given me this feeling of contentment
In my life something I've never felt
I wish I could talk 'til the end of day
But now I'm running out of things to say
So I'll end by the line you already know
"I LOVE YOU" more than what I could show

4) All Because of You
Author: Kate Reneigh Woodruff
I awake each day with a smile
And greet it with a laugh;
The world is a treasure to me
Because of you.

Every time I think of something sad,
I replace the thought- with you!
My mind is instantly changed
And my heart is filled with gladness.

Every breath I take is meant for you,
I live this life surrounded in joy
And I bathe in the promise of your love,
My soul belongs to you.

Each time I see something beautiful
I want to take it and bring it to you;
My life has so much meaning now
All because of you.

5) A Moment To Remember
Author: Trista Moss
A place we go
to let us know
that our love is always true
and that we will never be blue.

A memory on the edge of time
A place where we are so sublime,
A distant dream on a midnights eve
somewhere far from acknowledged leaves.

A time in which we fell deeper in love
just like to turtle doves.
We sang our songs and gave our token
to remember one single moment.
