For those of you who do not know, I run a blog aside from this one called the Book Stack. I post all of my reports and poetry on here... here is the link: www.thebookstak.blogspot.com ..
And here is a preview of the blog! This is an excerpt from my Robert Frost Poems, which I posted awhile back. For my newer readers, here is ONE of the poems. There are two other on the site if you care to check them out.
"Neither Out Far Nor In Deep
The people along the sand
All turn and look one way.
They turn their back on the land.
They look at the sea all day.
As long as it takes to pass
A ship keeps raising its hull;
The wetter ground like glass
Reflects a standing gull
The land may vary more;
But wherever the truth may be--
The water comes ashore,
And the people look at the sea.
They cannot look out far.
They cannot look in deep.
But when was that ever a bar
To any watch they keep?
I feel that this poem is kind of about sticking out. This may sound silly, but take this into consideration: Many people stare at models, and think, "oh, she/he is pretty, and I'd love to date him/her". They judge off of appearance- they don't know what is inside the person- if they are nice, loving. They judge by appearance. Meanwhile, there is a perfectly average person that is very nice and kind- but they don't get a second glance compared to the model. "The land may vary more, but wherever the truth may be: the water comes ashore, and the people look at the sea"."
Well, that is the preview. PLEASE check out the Book Stack...
