Grantid



Tim3 without your pal
Points out just how much
You depend on it
You miss it
You go mad without it.

You find that you affection it. That
You yarn for it. That
You lust it.

?

How happy you was,
How ignorant you was,
How taking for grantid you did…

Catch this occasion
Grasping just how much
You can’t be living without it.




Reflection: 


I feel that the part of reflection is harder for me than writing the poem lol. (Took 5 min writing a first word and then deleting it because it contained the forbidden letter). Writing the poem about any random matter was extremely hard initially, therefore I decided to write a poem about that. It was quite an experience realizing just how detrimental to a vocabulary it can be, limiting yourself on letter from the alphabet.

  1. This poem was pretty unique in that it uses incorrect grammar to get around the constraint, but it is still clear what you are trying to say. I quite liked it. I also think the topic is quite interesting..

  2. Cool post, at first I forgot what the topic was, so I was very confused, and looking back over the poem it feels like you took out more than one or two letters, even though you didn't. Shows me how essential vowels can be.

  3. Abraham,
    I actually really like the topic of your poem. Some of it kind of confuses me because I see that you replace some of the E's and change some of the words that have E's in them... but not all of them? Maybe a more indicative title will help on that front. But overall, good job!

  4. I love the style of the sentences. It was a great idea to use incorrect grammar to maneuver around the constraint, and it still reads well!
    Though using the number 3 in replace of the letter e is kind of cheeky and may be cheating... I still like your work! :)

Cake Poem

Poem on how to make cake: "It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake If the way is hazy You gotta do the cooking by the book You know you can’t be lazy! "        -Stephanie (LazyTown) Baking a cake is a piece of cake If you follow these instructions. Don't give yourself a headache since we're just at the introduction. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and get out an 8-inch round pan. I think we will all agree putting wax paper on the bottom will make your prouder. Then butter the paper, for the next step it's key, since then you dust it with coca powder. Grab a bowl and give your hands a shower, then throw in 3/4 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, to make your cake taste wonderful with no fault. In another, add 1 cup of sugar and 3/4 of butter. Beat it until it's light and fluffy, and slowly beat 3 eggs in while it's still puffy. Add vanilla, 1 teaspoon, ...

American Poetry's Letter Home

Hey, Hopefully things back home are going well.  My stay in England’s been going great! The plane actually managed to land early.  How about that - even more time for sightseeing! I decided to take a walk around town and see some of the sights that the country had to offer.  The highlight was seeing London’s Big Ben clock tower for the first time in person, which was pretty neat. It was huge, and I must say that it looks a bit imposing when you stand in front of it. As I walked around, I had the opportunity to meet many different people, and learn a little bit about what they were like.  The first person that I met was named Don Juan. He talked about his father Lord Byron a little bit, ultimately characterizing him as a questionable sort of fellow.  I told him to tell me about himself, and he started to tell me in a long-winded way (seventeen parts to the story before he became too tired to continue) about how he is easily seduced by women and detaile...
