When I have fears...



When I have fears, I know that I am not alone, that even though I have been living so many important issues in my life which have been scaring me, I have my family and my boyfriend with me. They are always giving me everything that I need; if I need someone who hugs me, they do it, if I need help, they do it. I strongly believe it does not matter how bad are you feeling, or how many bad things had happened to you, because everything is going to work well if we are being supported by someone who is really important for us.
It is crucial to keep in mind that we have to accept when we have committed a mistake, because if we do not do it we are going to become in mediocre people. People have to fight for what they desire, because it is known that sometimes it is difficult to fight when we want to get someone or something.
People have to do what they want, it does not matter what the rest think about that; feelings, family, friends, dreams, are essential in everybody`s life, and we cannot lose those important aspects, because they help us to be stronger.

Kubla Khan by Samuel Coleridge


“Poetry is an art…of representing, in words, external nature and human thoughts and affections, both relatively to human affections, by the production of as much immediate pleasure in parts, as is compatible with the largest sum of pleasure in the whole”.



After reading this quotation and having read the poem Kbla Khan written by Samuel Coleridge, I can say that poetry needs to be part of our lives. There are many things that can be related to poetry, for example we can make a poem about our own life experiences`, or we can create a poem based on our dreams and plans for the future. If we would like to have a different and better world, we can make it in a poem. Poetry helps us to express ourselves in a way that everybody can feel something once he/she reads that piece of writing. As it was mentioned in the previous quotation, "Poetry is an art...of representing, in words, external nature and human thoughts and affections..." It is important to say that it does not matter who you are or what you like to do, the main idea is that anyone can write a poem, but you have to say what you really want to. You have to express your thoughts, ideas and feelings.
A poem has to be real, fluent and sincere, in order that this can provoke any kind of expressions and feelings in the reader.

"Little black boy", William Blake




When I read the poem “Little black boy” I could realize the importance of the relationship between mother and son. It is easy to see that the mother was always protecting her son, and taking care of him. What really calls my attention was the way of thinking of a black boy, and what it´s mean to him being a black person. In some cases we can see that black people is considered as the worse thing in the world. On the contrary, the poem showed us that maybe there could be many differences between black people and white people, but in heaven there is not going to be any difference. In that place everybody will be considered the same; they will have the same rights.
The picture that I relate with this poem was “Madonna and the Child”, because it shows us a mother protecting his son and that it is the main issue of this poem, how a mother can save his little boy.
