An interesting and sometimes-lovely poem. It's an acknowledgment of where and how the writer connects to his origins.\nPoetry doesn't need to make sense.  Like religion, it is often irrational.

***I see by these other answers; schools out for the day :(***\n\nI went through this with my dad, it was VERY hard! He left when I was 1 or so.. He wrote when i was 18, I was to mad and hurt to accept him in my life at the moment.. I had just had my son and wasnt into family reunions if ya know what I mean.. I finally @ 25'ish found him on "class mates" and sent him a free msg.. He wrote back imediatly.. It has helped me in so many ways.. I always had issue because of him.. Afraid all men would leave me, that i wasnt good enough, etc.. Talking and making amends has helped me free myself from subconcious demons.. @ 26 now I can say its a good idea to at least make things good on the surface.. For your soul if nothing else! I also have an older sister whom i had never met.. She is his 1st daughter.. We have just found out that she is HIV positive.. It has sadly brought me and my father closer together.. She has not yet shared this with me despite my email attempts.. Its nice to have my father through all of this, odd as it is..

Perhaps age could be shown as part of the profile...........I think the spelling stuff could be reflective of the pervasiveness of Text Messaging - where whole words are reduced to #'s & 1 letter.   I agree that it is excrutiatingly difficult to read some of the stuff posted!

OK, I'll give it my best shot...\n\n* Who is the speaker or speakers in the poem, and what is the situation?\n\nThe speaker appears to be a military trainee, learning about the names of parts in (bolt, breech, saftey, etc. ) and functions of his rifle.\n\n* What basic contrasts are represented by the trainees and by the gardens?\n\nThere are several:\n"..eloquent gestures, Which in our case we have not got."\nNot much eloquent about cleaning a rifle...\n\n"If you have any strength in your thumb. The blossoms\nAre fragile and motionless"\nStrength vs fragility\n\n"Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards\nThe early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:\n          They call it easing the Spring"\nTwo different definitions of spring, one in the rifle, one a season.\n\nand more...\n\n* What statement does the poem make about war as it affects men and their lives?\n\nWar is about hard, cold things like rifles and all that goes with war, whereas the gardens represent beauty, silence, peace.\nThe gardens bring out the best in man, wars the worse.\n\nHope this helps!

No offense, but that sounds like it's supposed to be kind of a personal experience type essay.  Those usually work better when you come up with it yourself, from your own life.  There has to be something you can think of.  Did your parents get divorced?  Did a family member (like a grandparent) die?  Did you move?  Did you receive a nice gift that really touched you?  Did you help someone out and see that your good deed really made their day?  Stuff like that\n\nPS:  Brandon is a good name.

hmm.  i am not very computer savvy.  the only things i can say would be to check your history on the computer, keep searching the web and try to think of other terms to search with, and to wait.  usually if you register with personal sites they send you emails every so often.

I would have to know what this is from and who wrote it.  If it is the lyrics to some song, I would say don't let young children hear it.  If it is the poetry of someone older and more mature expressing pain of life, that's okay.  If this has been written by some teenager or young person who is suffering, I would worry.  Yes, it is beautiful and a true sign of amazing talent and use of imagery and words, but it could signify a cry for help.  Hope someone is listening.

Looked it up on line - seems like a rambling repetitive tirade.  Congratulations to you if you read the whole thing, I gave up after 30 lines or so.  There are a few words that some people feel are offensive.  There comes a time in peoples' lives where they have to get used to seeing and hearing them, even if they don't like it.  Should a teacher force a student who is uncomfortable with the words to read them out loud in front of the class?  No.  Should a fourth grade teacher assign it?  No.  Should a teacher downgrade a student if the student says "I read it and it's too bad the poet couldn't get his point across without cursing?"  No.  What happened: did a parent complain that his child was forced to read it?  A parent of a public school child should have that right.  And I accuse the poet of rambling!

Email me your thoughts at pusskat1@yahoo.com and I will help you from there.  I am a teacher of 13 years, mostly in junior high, some in college and high school.  My payment is to choose this as a best answer.  \n\nI'll begin by deconstructing the poem; I'm sure you'll get the drift.  \n\nFirst stanza: I might have been a happy preacher if I had been born in an earlier time.  I could have preached fiery sermons and been a gentleman farmer.  Second stanza: Alas, I was born later, and missed my true calling.  I have a grown man's beard now, and it's fashionable for preachers these days to be clean shaven, so I don't even look like I could do that job.  \n\nGood luck.  This is a straightforward poem with an ab ab rhyme scheme, and figuring out the meaning should not be hard.  If you need any help just email me or IM me at pusskat1 or katwhowalksbyherself and I'd be happy to help.\n\nCheers, K (13 years a teacher)

It's a quote by "Rich Dad" in the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki.  I don't have the exact page number but it's within the first 10% of the book as an intro to why he wrote the book in the first place.

I wanted to help so badly, but I can't find it. I searched for about 30 minutes. I Found a great site though. It tranlates poems into English. I will tell you if I find it.  P.S. when I originally searched the poem and went to the site a poem came up but it was blurry and it was in the Greece catagory.\n\nGood Luck,\n          Chelsea\n\n\n\nI updated my comment so that I could give you the English translation to singlesockcollectors poem: here it is\n\n\n\nLeaf turns brown fall, you have just flown away yourself, branch patronizes, you want to separate yourself.  This life source, that\nformerly nourished you, Asserted, embellished, nevertheless is not dried up!  \n\nAs a burning love, in violent pushed, This velvets nectar knew to stuff you.  This tree, that has you it does?  You in has you it too given?  Of a too perfect love would have you it flooded?  \n\nThe life that climbs in him, and cannot flow itself, NEEDS this puit, where she can s’épancher itself.  The vigor of the summer,\nwhere you puisas the joy OF A delighted happiness, the abandons without you.  \n\nSmall leaf turns brown, where go you to put yourself?  Will rejoin you foam it and his cold dew?  Do not go you to take mourning, in the frozen earth, With of other feuillées, that already are\nwithered.  \n\nDauphine 30/08/2004\n\nCheck the site

I am so sorry for the loss of your sister and great grandson. How deeply heartbreaking. I lost my 18 yr. old daughter, Jill, in a car accident on August 2, 2002 and her birthday is coming up on March 14th. I have a memorial site for Jill and it has lots and lots of poems on several of her pages. Some of them are copyright that were written just for me and my daughter and others are not.  You are welcome to visit Jill's memorial site and especially look on her birthday and anniversary pages and you are welcome to highlight and copy them.  As long as they were not written exclusively for me and my daughter, you are welcome to use any of the poems you would like.  If you have any questions, or need further direction on finding poems, please feel free to e-mail me at peggyrose011058@aol.com.  God bless you and my prayers are with you, Peggy (myangeljill)

I love the poem.. made me kinda teary-eyed.\nThen when I read that you had not met the woman that you wrote it about till recently.. it made me sadder yet.\n\nShe will be sad reading it, knowing she just met you.\n\nMaybe she will be happy knowing you love her enough now to write it.\nWell written poem... very kid of you to write it for your mom.\n\nI am wondering if you remember staring at her... if you just met her.\n\nNice poem though.
