Jessica's+Poetspace

This Jessica's special place to record ideas, thoughts and plan for projects. She will also keep a log of days in attendance and what she did each of the days.  ** Immortality

Foil'd by our fellow-men, depress'd, outworn, We leave the brutal world to take its way, And, Patience! in another life, we say The world shall be thrust down, and we up-borne.

And will not, then, the immortal armies scorn The world's poor, routed leavings? or will they, Who fail'd under the heat of this life's day, Support the fervours of the heavenly morn?

No, no! the energy of life may be Kept on after the grave, but not begun; And he who flagg'd not in the earthly strife,

From strength to strength advancing only he, His soul well-knit, and all his battles won, Mounts, and that hardly, to eternal life. ** ** Remember ** Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you plann'd: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

Christina Rossetti **  || || FIRE AND ICE Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favour fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. ||  ** Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. **  ||

-Immortality Poem= Log: 11/11/09 Today I found a beautiful poem and I am gathering ideas about what photo i should use to illiustrate this poem. First I'm thinking about taking a picture of a flower that is half way dead, I would maybe find a picture of things (plant life) that is struggling to survive. The ideas that I have for the picture are something that doesn't know what to do or it's struggling to keep going in the tough times. -Immortality Poem log: 11/12/09 Some picture ideas for this poem are maybe to me like maybe the American flag, a soldier, something struggling to survive, something that is struggling on what do do, also for in the 2nd paragraph maybe busy life. For the last paragraph I would probably put the american flag or some soldier souting.

-Remember Poem= log: 11/12/09 For this poem picture(s) I might want to use are maybe somebody dead, dying,or depressed. -Remember Poem= log about pics: 11/18/09 I think that a person that is dead would suit this picture.
