Roethke's Exercise

Senseless Moon
By Alberto Carreon

The frog gave a soft bite to the moon,

A dog is blue and hot as a swing,

The frog cut and eye sharp

A cloud burns hot on leather.

A rock kissed the wavering slag

A cut on the throat of the blue mud;

The moon is as important as surprise,

The eye is as important as swing.

A bruise in a cool eye blue,

To say the dog got surprised and hot

The belief to burn the wavering cloud

Soft is the curve of the blue rock

Not too bad.

Overall this class was good, it is hard to come up with things that could have been done different since the way in which this one was set up worked fine with me. I did love the idea of doing the biggest project at the begging of the class, just to think that I could have been doing that towards the end of the semester along with all the other things that we did would have been a bummer! On the other side there was a lot of reading but that was expected, so nothing unusual there, the reading was not boring which helped a lot and I liked the way in which the professor explained everything to us; the quizzes were not too hard and by no means am I complaining about this, actually i found it really helpful since I had to catch up on a lot of missed grades. I guess my only two complains would be that quizzes could not be made up, emergencies happen and quite honestly I found it a little annoying that no opportunities were offered to make up the work for people that was absent and late, the other complain would be that there was no drinks and cakes to go with the class, but then again I don't think the school offers that right? This class was really good, and it really helped me better myself, I would definitely recommend it to people I know.

PS. The people in the class helped a lot, they were easy to get along with and cooperative.

Creator Of My Seams

I suck at this, but after thinking about this for way too long... this is what I came up with.

You, creator of my seams

Give me comprehension to live,

You, the owner of my dreams

Remain inside of them and make me feel

So in your mystery I can reveal

That eternal feeling inside of me

You, with the moon behind your heart

Will not be able to keep us apart

You are the motive and the mirage of my existence

Exclusively you, I want you to be the one

My craziness, my calmness, my hallucination, my direction and my way to follow

Exclusively you, I want you to be the one

And I put my world to come on your hands

Because I live to be always with you, my wife.
