What develops a metaphor is the comparing of two things , sorta like simile but your not using like or as. and i how i feel about poetry  is i love it and i love the way figurative language is used into poetry and how it can bring that poem to life and how it can really make you understand the poem and help you as a reader draw into the poem and the poetry.

song lyric with a metaphor

The song i choose was once again y favorite song to use was never lose your flame by "Issues" and the metaphor is Well eat my dust that's all I am a speck out in the crowd. 
here he is comparing himself to a speck out in the crowd, basically saying go ahead and kiss my ass and that im different and im not really that important and im find with that. i think  the whole thing  is  so deep and have  a lot of images you can picture and figurative languages.

A great example of imagery would be to use one of my favorite song. It's called "Can I Live" by Jay-Z and in the song he says, "It gets tedious, So I keep one eye open like CBS, You see me stressed right?" Keeping one eye open like the CBS logo, not trusting always watching is the meaning of this stanza and it says a lot about how artist put meaning into their songs making us think what does that mean  

This was said by Willis, Tiffany and i totally agree with her on this one, artist do use a lot of imagery and or images in their music and or work, and to me thats what make their words and their songs have so much life, and talent.  even the lyrics are a good example and they are good. so i think that was a very good example for this particular topic.  



Images can be described kind of like a mixture of theme and symbolism. The reason i said that is because imagery is usually used as an representation or an extension of something or someone but also has a meaning to it. My symbol is a ram it is usually symbolized a strong head and hard headed and is usually look at for leadership.


this was said by Greg and that is another perfect one example i like and can relate too. and i like how he used his zodiac sign or birth sign which is the Aries to do that, thats like me using my sign the Capricorn or the goat which stands for  stubbornness hard worked and so yeah images and imagery can be in anything and be used for anything to bring more projects to life or just to help make things more clearer. 

why images can mean so many things

No one knows why images mean so many things, but they do and that is really cool. They can say a lot an mean so much, like the lyrics i like form the song ''never lose your flame." The title itself you can use it as a image. picturing some one holding a flame close to their hands and to their heart. this song has a lot of imagery used and they mean so many things. i think its good imagery means so many things it helps us understand and relate and not every one will see everything differently or the same.

colleague poems

 is Hello by Adele. In the song she says"Hello, can you hear me" to me she is crying out to her old lover. Theme of the song discuss themes of nostalgia and regret. 
that was Tiffany Willis 

to me i really dont like that song, i got a annoying vibe, from it. but as i read what she said it brings a much deeper meaning to the song, and maybe i would like it a little bit more. just a little bit.


"A Dream Within a Dream" is all about being alone. The speaker says goodbye to a woman in the first stanza, and spends the second isolated on a beach as he contemplates one of life's biggest questions: is what we see real? It sure sounds like this is something every person must deal with on their own time, by themselves, not in the company of other people. This may be because the answer to the riddle of reality requires some quiet time, or is just different for everybody. Plus, think about it: dreaming is something we do solo, so if life really is a dream within a dream, well, then were all alone for all of it.

i like that poem, and what it stands for. its really powerful and makes since. it also makes you think sometimes like are you in a dream or is it reality, and it just made me think. and yes some times we do need to be alone.

the theme of my favorite song lyric

The theme of my favorite song lyric is  Never Lose Your Fame is basically, Saying dont lose who you are and dont give up on yourself.  People will try to change you and wont accept you for who you are, it could be people who you know ever since you were little or even your parents and you have to accept that. also it means you need to love yourself,before anyone else that except you . You have to except yourself and your flaws, and Never Lose Yourself or your Flame.

Theme of your life

My theme of my life so far has been ups and downs, loops and turns,  like a big giant roller coaster  but with the years as time goes by I grew up and learned not to make the same mistakes and forgive and forget, and to except the people that have dropped out of my life and to welcome the people that I know will stay and help me. My theme for my life is a roller coaster,  and to be honest I like it, and i like i have so many trials and bumps and yet some  good things, because that going to be your life in general and you might as well deal with it now so you know then later, so you can handle everything and anything.
