What We all Need - Sonnet

We all love each other so very much
We may not realize it at the moment
We may even deny it a whole lot
But the true answers we shall always hold
Which we ourselves barely know we have
Something so painfully hidden away
In the darkest corner of our heart
In a place so very difficult to reach

But we all wish to experience this
Something so hard to explain in detail
With very few words to describe this thing
Yet something so big and vulnerable

It is love we all so desire
Something every person requires

What Happens To... Poem

What happens to a body without a soul and a soul without a body?
Do they just wander around
Not knowing what their
Pupose in life is
To live with
Meaning they have
None that they can even
Have is really hard to
Get not given recieved by
Work to live that is the
Way to survive in
A world like this one
One that is full of
Mystery

What is Poetry? Poem

Poetry is...Beautiful
Art
A way to express yourself
Words with meaning
Strung together to proclaim something

Poetry is not...
A half - baked job
Just left to sit there to gather dust
Words randomly put together

But it also can't be really clear
It must be a bit cloudy 
The meaning hidden
Just waiting to be found

Pietà - Statue of Sorrow

   This is one of the greatest of Michelangelo's works, maybe even the best sculpture in the world. When this first came out for all to see, most of the other works of this kind were awkward and clumsy, but even though this type of style of sculpture was still uncommon in Italy, it was and forever will be accepted.
   Michelangelo was asked by a French cardinal to carve a pietà for his tomb. Peità means "pity". It shows the Virgin Mary holding her dead son Jesus, showing the message exactly. While others of this kind were blunt and not thoroughly made, this showed every detail, from the folds of the skirt to the ripples in the skin. It was also the only work he ever signed, something that he claimed he "made".
   I have always liked this piece. It is as if perfection has been caught in this pose forever. Its beauty still affects many people today. Michelangelo said that he didn't carve sculptures, that he just discovered them, forms just waiting to be uncovered. How can a lifeless piece of marble have so much life, so much emotion, so much soul? It's as if it is a beacon of hope for people, because even though in this work Jesus is dead, it gives one hope that someday he WILL return to save us.
