Chocolate

Sonnet

I have looked forever for this great taste

It turns seconds to minutes into days

I try hard not to put it into waste

I look at it again, it’s on display

I try to fight myself, but I can’t help

I take a piece from it, there’s still some left

The taste makes it the hardest thing I dealt

I take another small piece, it’s not theft

Now do not judge, I’m sure you can relate

That time where you go against yourself again

To experience your taste buds elate

 Taste it, don’t you want to eat it again

It is the best thing in the world although

I know it cannot stay, for all it’s worth

What is poetry?

What is poetry?

Poetry is feelings from the heart

Thoughts from your mind

Ink from your pen

Lead from your pencil

Poetry is different 

For everyone

Everywhere

Poetry depends on your perspective

Your thoughts

Your ideas

What is a double rainbow?

What is a double rainbow?

Is it a a gift from a god

Is it a natural miracle

Is it a symbol of happiness

Is it a giant slide

Is it an experiment gone wrong

Is it a good sign

Maybe we'll never know

What happens to poem

What happens to you when you die?

Do you float

like a boat
Or does everything go dark
like a piece of bark
Do you fly off into the endless sky
like a friend of mine


Or do you disappear
We will never know for sure

Essay on Artist Picasso

   Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born in Oct 25, 1881. He was born in Molaga in Spain. His father was Jose Ruiz Blasco. His mother was Maria Picasso. In 1891 Picasso's younger sister died from Diphteria. This disturbed him a lot and made him express this sadness in his art. When he was 14 he went to school of fine arts. Then he went to Paris and got a contract to make paintings. He had a love affair, Casagemas. However Casagemas committed suicide and Picasso felt another loss. In 1902 he began sharing a house with Max Jacob, another artist. Soon he married Olga and made a painting about her playing volleyball in the beach. However he left and married a 17 year old girl named Marie Therese. However he kept abondonig his wives and going after others. His last and final wife was Jacqueline Roque.

   Picasso's paintings were sad from the beginning after the death of his younger sister. However his paintings got brighter after being married. When he divorced or abandoned his wife his paintings got sad abd dreary. Most of his paintings from the begining was long and pasty. Some of his pintings were none human like. Whenever he gets a new wife he feels happy. Also, he seems very expressive about his ideals.  Piccasso went through a lot of types of paintings. He went from painting images to cubes and geometric shapes to ceremics. Also his paintings look deolate and has muffled colors.Some of his paintings however are realistic and some are dreamy. There are a lot of overlapping strokes.
   In The painting above "Large nude in red armchair" I think it shows a women relaxing after a day of hard work. It shows how some people just want to sit down and relax. Also it shows the stress the women in the age period felt. His paintings are very provocative.
