Significance- the challenge of a government to uphold the ideals of the law makers and to establish a community that protects the values of the people. When these two ideas are in conflict with each other and not working towards a "greater society"…

Dr. King clearly wanted to stress to the public the contradiction between our obligation as a free country to eliminate Communism in Vietnam and the freedom being taken away from many citizens within the United State. The source is directed towards…

Very cool! I use "Olsen Olsen" for a prompt. I tell the kids to write a trailer to a movie that might use this song as the end credits.

Drenched

Globs of thick paint like rain
Collides with the acrylic on the canvas
The drops leave marks of storm clouds
Washing away the rainbow I've laid out

Bleak, Streak, no longer Neat

I lift my face to the down pour
Showering in empty droplets
Smearing the flesh colored tone of my complexion into the lasting
GREY GLOOM

Drenched in the paint palate
Void of interpretation
Nothing can be made from these clouds of thunder

But wait, the lightning electrifies the moment
Easel burning, a torch against the monotony

My uninspired work turned into grey ash
But for a moment there was a flame

"I am a part of..." by Kayla Crowe-Stover

“I am part of...”
The CSU Writing Project
Committed to building writers out of teachers
Thinking, asking, and speaking out
Through laughter and tears, we persevere
To put ourselves on the line, opening ourselves up to rejection
But being saved through praise
Not competition, but collaboration
To polish, publish, and redefine our craft
Watch out world, because we are here to challenge you to say something, anything!

Also, I think only ostensibly about a cat. Here, I think, because of the title, cat=poem.

Poem

As the cat
climbed over
the top of

the jamcloset
first the right
forefoot

carefully
then the hind
stepped down

into the pit of
the empty
flowerpot
