Victory Via Verse! While Coosa talks all of its impotent smack, And breast-lumps attempt to form cancer, We ll counter with poems of pinkish-hued force, And win with our great Ballad Stanza! The Coosa Eagles and Breast Cancer are tonight s foes; Let s conquer both with poetry! Your poems will mimic the ancient Ballad form popular throughout northern Europe before Shakespeare, and with us still in music. To succeed, poems must have FOUR-LINE STANZAS WITH: ALTERNATING RHYME ABAB OR ABCB; ALTERNATING SYLLABIFICATION. Ballads work by stressed syllables alternating 4-3-4-3. However many syllables your lines have, STRESS 4-3-4-3. To earn credit, you must vow victory in four lines like that. As a model, here s some Lynyrd Skynyrd. Note STRESSES and rhyme: Other stuff to know: I was CUTtin the RUG at a PLACE called the JUG With a GIRL named LINda LOU, When IN walked a MAN with a GUN in his HAND, And he was LOOKin for YOU know WHO; He said, HEY there FELla with the HAIR colored YELla, WHAT you TRYin to PROVE? Cause that s MY woman THERE, and I m a MAN who CARES, And this MIGHT be ALL with YOU! Coosa are the Eagles; their colors are black, red, white; Breast Cancer is bad, and it hates Pink more than anything. 10 point Daily Grade!
TODAY: Gather in groups of between one and three, And with paper and pencil (or pen) Write a ballad to win both the game and a future For cancer-free women and men! Then write it in color on paper that s plain To defeat both the Eagles and Cancer; Tape your ballad out there on the Poetry Pole To give both those foes a good answer! (www.rhymezone.com)
Many people have lots of differing opinions. We have our own opinions based on our individual points of view and our individual backgrounds. However, we have successful societies no matter how many conflicting opinions we may have. This is due to us hating the feeling of being alone. We build societies so we never have to be faced with our own thoughts.
