Illusions because you see, they really are terrible. Also, I like the word illusion. ILLUSION!
"The object of art is to stir the most divine and remote chords which make music in our soul. Man is hungry for beauty. There is a void. We spend our days looking for the secret of life. Well, the secret of life is in art."
-Oscar Wilde
"A poet is someone who is astonished by everything."
-Anon.
More quotes:
"Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-gumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before."
-Shel Silverstein
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep."
-Robert Frost, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
"'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' -- that is all
Ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know."
-John Keats, Ode On A Grecian Urn
"Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream."
-Edgar Allan Poe, A Dream Within A Dream
"You see things as they are and ask, 'Why?' I dream things as they never were and ask, 'Why not?'"
-George Bernard Shaw
"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain."
-Emily Dickinson
"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad."
-Aldous Huxley
"Some authors should be paid by the quantity NOT written."
-Anon.
MORE AT SOME POINT...MAYBE :-)!
Illusions of Poetry

I'm taking a vote.
Who thinks I should put my poetry in my English Portfolio? If I don't I'll have to start writing a bunch of crap because I got points off last time for having almost no writing in the writing section. :-(
a. You def. should
b. You def shouldn't
c. Why are you asking us anyway, man you really are indecisive. *under breath* Loser
d. Hey! That wasn't nice

This is about the end of the 'drama' in my life, the musical and the plays.

Field of Rye
Another end, another close,
Another challenge,
That kept me on my toes,
Another finale, another goodbye,
Another opportunity,
That lead me through my field of rye.
12:56 PM.
So I'm a day late. Take what you can get.

Future Looms
The world is crashing down around me,
Verbal and Math scores pouring from the ceiling,
Words like FUTURE loom, predicting DOOM,
Screaming numbers prey on unsuspecting innocents,
How's your GPA? High?
Time management cries, forgotten,
Sleeping? Is that necessary?
Sports, clubs, activities, comunity service, awards,
Do you have them?
No?
Goodbye.
