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.

    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..

    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.

    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!

    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, ...

The Three Little Pigs

One summer afternoon I saw a talking  wolf It asked me for help but I could only  gawk “Come into my home” it said, I just want to  talk I accepted, entering the door with no  lock                 Its house was much cleaner than I   expected And for some reason he had a vibe I  respected Out of his house a hit list he  erected It had three names which I  inspected                 On the hit list were the names of three little  pigs He told me “I want to snap them like  twigs ” “Jeez” I said, “Why are you so  angry? ” “They’re so fat and plump” he said  blankly                 He told me, “They live in this little  town They have three houses that I want to blo...

Why Programmers Should Read Poetry

            Programming and poetry are like two sides of the same coin. They are inherently very different, with programming being very heavily related to math and poetry being an expressive form of literature. However, they both share numerous similarities whilst being completely different subjects, which can make poetry helpful for programmers. The importance of structure in poetry could be one thing that can help programmers write their code. They both are similar in the way that they break themselves up into blocks or stanzas. While not necessary in either, breaking the text up can make it easier to read or add more meaning in the case of poetry. The importance that poetry places on intricacies of things like grammar can also help coders with various things. With how much the meaning of poetry can change just by a piece of punctuation, it ends up being very similar to code, as one missed semicolon or bracket could end up messing up the entire program...
