Another poem that nobody cares about... =D
We face some dark times,
Where white clouds produce rain,
Loudly ringing windchimes,
As a result of something vain.
Dewdrops form on hands,
Because the rain doesn't hold back,
Even after making amends,
There's still something we lack.
Whether the Collie herds the cattle or not,
Dark times come without reason,
Is it too cold or too hot?
We never know; we never learn.
Is setting doves free,
Giving freedom or giving up?
We determine the validity,
Reject or receive the cup.
I know this poem is deep and stuff like that, but it's up to you how you wanna interpret it. I'll just put the meanings down here...
Meanings
We face problems,
Where our eyes produce tears,
Arguing and crying,
Due to something pointless that doesn't go our way.
There are tears on our hands,
Because we can't hold our tears back,
Even after fixing the problem,
We still do not get what we want.
Whether you have control or not,
Problems come without reason,
Problems always change,
We never know how it will be. We never learn.
Is giving up control,
Good or bad?
We determine its logic,
Reject or accept the truth/word/advice/offer.
Love,
Nicholas.

Black, Brown and White.
How does it feel out there?
When the night is freezing cold,
With loneliness and despair,
Watching life's story unfold.
Everyday aimlessly,
Finding the warmest spot,
It is terribly,
The only goal you've got.
Repeated after roosters crow,
Trapped in your prison,
Looking forward to show,
Life's fabricated reason.
Although sadness in routine,
You still love me,
The misery you've ever seen,
Cursed with loyalty.
Love,
Nicholas.

How to Write Love Poems?
27 January 2010
Writing a poem for your lover can be ever so difficult!
Most lovers would really like to write something passionate and heart-melting to express their deep love towards their partner. However, some of us run out of ideas of what to write and how to write.
Portray The Meaning of Your Poem
The main theme of your poem is anything about your partner or your love. Then, for each stanza, it can be your lover's beauty, personality or the things you did together. It can also be about your relationship and love towards your lover.
Know what you have to write about. Then, know what meanings you need to let your lover know in the poem.
Example:
You want to write to Lily that you feel relaxed with her.
Meaning to Portray
- I feel calm when you're around.
Substitute Words / Write Lovely Words
Now you have your meaning, you would want to substitute certain words, or rewrite a sentence that is more lovely and attractive. Your sentence can be a complex sentence, or with the usage of objects to express. It can also contain "hidden" meanings. Exaggerate a little bit and show how much you really mean when you wrote it.
Example:
Meaning to Portray - I feel calm when you're around.
Sentence - Your presence invoked bliss.
When making these sentence it is important to know that you can also use metaphors, personifications, similes, idioms, slang and others.
Writing Progression In Your Poem
When you write in a stanza, you want everything to link together and it's based on something. If you write like say...
You were walking with one shoe,
And with every step my heart paced,
The sky ripples are so blue,
Like how the blue in your eyes interlaced.
It may sound nice but there is no connection in what you're trying to say. Lily was walking with one shoe (it might had really happened on a date) and with every step your heart paced, is good. Then it suddenly switched to how the sky is, and it's like her eyes. No link.
It's best that you continue on after how every step your heart paced, maybe say about how graceful she can become even if she's walking with one shoe, walking like a duck and maybe in one of her most embarassing moments. Example continuation...
I didn't help but stood like a statue,
I was dazed as even so you still graced.
This explains how graceful Lily could be until she had you stunned like a statue, not only in that situation, but possibly almost all situations.
Using a Set Number of Syllables or Words
This is not really important when writing your own poem. However, if you want to make your poem more lovely, you can write a set number of words or syllables for each line. That way, when you say out your poem, you will get a lovely flow and sounds neat.
Lesser words forces you to be even more creative and unique in your writing. Portraying a meaning strongly by using only a few words is always powerful and lovely.
Rhyming
Although you have gotten your meanings to portray, you still need to rhyme it at the end of each line. Make your first two lines first, then after you thought the meanings of the last two lines, think of a word that rhymes.
Example:
Your presence invoked bliss,
Without effort just like magic,
3rd Line Keyword - kiss
Sentence - As with every single kiss,
4th Line Keyword - panic
Sentence - I grew less panic.
If you don't know what words you can rhyme with, you can look up here. (http://www.rhymer.com/)
Recap
1. Know the meaning you want to show to your lover.
2. Write it down in a more strong and romantic way using your own words and style.
3. Make sure they rhyme as you wanted and still keep the meaning.

Get started with a pencil and a paper.

How to Write Good Essay?
07 October 2009
A couple of tips to write a composition mainly for those who are currently in secondary school.
What you write must be eye-catching and compelling in order for your readers to absorb everything you want to deliver to them immediately. In secondary schools, our English examination on Continious Writing provides 5 topics to write on, which some have no format. As usual, just pick the one without a format, as these topics are normally one word topics, or sometihng very general where you can write anything related to that topic. It is a question where your answer cannot be wrong, because it is how you think of it!
Grammar and spelling are the two most important things in an essay. These two are the main things you should focus on first before you come looking on how to write something that catches the eye.
Simple Tips
1. Wide and correct usage of vocabulary.
If you are basically good at English already, improving vocabulary helps in showing off your skills and understanding of English. Your general usage of words shows how thorough you are and your ability in describing almost anything.
2. Describe situations precisely.
Most of us do not completely describe a situation that we want to write about. Especially when writing a story, we need to have the ability to convert what happened in our mind into words. That is why the vocabulary is important, because you can describe anything. Assume the reader knows nothing, even if it is general.
3. Being organized.
Once you look at the topic, be sure to develop a plan or a main theme for it. Understand what you are going to write about, and how you are going to write it. If you do not plan, you tend to change topics and jump back and forth in your composition. This will confuse the reader and your points will not be elaborated correctly.
4. Avoid being repetitive.
Do not repeat the same sentence or write about something which has the same meaning. Do not repeat a sentence just to strengthen a point but you can try giving the importance/reason of your point instead.
5. Use examples.
What most examiners want are REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES or APPLICATIONS that relate to our lives. If you know a tragedy that you read about in the news which you can relate in your topic, do it.
6. Tell something that not everyone knows just by common sense.
This is the use of the one word topics you can answer in your examinations. When you answer these questions, you can basically write anything as long as there is a slight relation to the topic. Write your own views, your own interpretation and how you look at it. Your original views generally develops the interest of readers. When writing about facts, be sure your facts are accurate and complete. Tell facts using your own words, not copy and paste/memorized sentences from the Internet.
Examples of Words
You can use certain words to replace the words you are currently using so your essay won't be so dull.
Show - Portray, Illustrate, Bestow
Home - House, Abode, Habitat
Destroy - Devastate, Ravage, Obliterate
Do not simply switch your words though, some words may have somewhat the same meaning, but not suitable for that condition you are trying to explain.
Lastly, finish your essay with a strong and definitive conclusion! Be sure to relax and have fun while composing your own essay. If you're stressed, you might not be able to get the results you wanted! Don't put people to sleep with your writing too.

Nicholas.
