POEM ABOUT MISSING MY LATE NAN!?
I loved you so much, Nan. And I'll always love you so. No matter how far you are, Or wherever you go. I just wish you were here, To listen to me say How much I love you, I wish you'd never gone away! You were the closest to me, I think you knew that too. I know how much you loved me, No one can love me like you! But I know you're in a safe place, Watching on us all. I just wish you were here, To help me when I fall. Nan, I know you're listening, No matter where you are. I wish I can see you again, But heavens' just too far! I wish I could have called you 'Nanny Maggie' one last time. As I struggle to keep the tears back, While reading out this rhyme. You'll want me to be happy, So I'll really do my best. One last time I'll tell you, You're my dearest... I hope you liked it! If you need any other poem, ask! =D All The Best! =)

What is the worst famous poem?
I would say that Joyce Kilmer’s “Trees” is unmatched for its trivial form combined with its trivial content. It is well-parodied by “Threes” by John Atherton. Compare:I think that I shall never seeA poem lovely as a tree.A tree whose hungry mouth is prestAgainst the sweet earth's flowing breast;A tree that looks at God all day,And lifts her leafy arms to pray;A tree that may in summer wearA nest of robins in her hair;Upon whose bosom snow has lain;Who intimately lives with rain.Poems are made by fools like me,But only God can make a tree.I think that I shall never c A # lovelier than 3; For 3 < 6 or 4, And than 1 it's slightly more.All things in nature come in 3s, Like ... , trio's, Q.E.D.s; While $s gain more dignity if augmented 3 x 3 —A 3 whose slender curves are pressed By banks, for compound interest; Oh, would that, paying loans or rent, My rates were only 3%!3² expands with rapture free, And reaches toward infinity; 3 complements each x and y, And intimately lives with pi.A circle's # of ° Are best ÷ up by 3s, But wrapped in dim obscurity Is the square root of -3.Atoms are split by men like me, But only God is 1 in 3.
Would the poem Lazy Jane by Shel Silverstein be an example of assonance?
The poem goes Lazy lazy lazy lazy lazy lazy Jane, she wants a drink of water so she waits and waits and waits and waits and waits for it to rain. Would that be assonance because the long A sound is being repeated?
Christmas poems with 6 stanzas?
Christmas by John Betjeman The bells of waiting Advent ring, The Tortoise stove is lit again And lamp-oil light across the night Has caught the streaks of winter rain. In many a stained-glass window sheen From Crimson Lake to Hooker's Green. The holly in the windy hedge And round the Manor House the yew Will soon be stripped to deck the ledge, The altar, font and arch and pew, So that villagers can say 'The Church looks nice' on Christmas Day. Provincial public houses blaze And Corporation tramcars clang, On lighted tenements I gaze Where paper decorations hang, And bunting in the red Town Hall Says 'Merry Christmas to you all' And London shops on Christmas Eve Are strung with silver bells and flowers As hurrying clerks the City leave To pigeon-haunted classic towers, And marbled clouds go scudding by The many-steepled London sky. And girls in slacks remember Dad, And oafish louts remember Mum, And sleepless children's hearts are glad, And Christmas morning bells say 'Come!' Even to shining ones who dwell Safe in the Dorchester Hotel. And is it true? and is it true? The most tremendous tale of all, Seen in a stained-glass window's hue, A Baby in an ox's stall? The Maker of the stars and sea Become a Child on earth for me? And is it true? For if it is, No loving fingers tying strings Around those tissued fripperies, The sweet and silly Christmas things, Bath salts and inexpensive scent And hideous tie so kindly meant. No love that in a family dwells, No carolling in frosty air, Nor all the steeple-shaking bells Can with this single Truth compare - That God was Man in Palestine And lives to-day in Bread and Wine.
How would you describe a rainy mood?
To me, a rainy mood or stormy mood is when a person is so focused on negative events and feelings they are going through that they are unable to be appreciative of the positive feelings of the people around them. People often sadly think about only themselves and many key in on the most negative things that are happening to them.The result is that a person who is in a rainy mood who comes across a person who is in a sunny or joyous mood, they often react negatively and ‘rain’ on the person who is in the good mood. Misery loves company.Fortunately, it can also work the other way around. Being in a good, positive, sunny mood can be contagious and can cause the ‘rain clouds’ to retreat, so to speak. People who are in a rainy mood can find their mood becoming lighter and more positive when they are around people who are in a sunny mood, even if they attempt to ‘rain’ on the positive people.
Do you enjoy postmodern literature?
I tend to read books that appeal, rather than pick books by critical theory. Therefore, I looked to Wikipedia to inform me what is currently defined as postmodern literature so that I could answer this.Wiki tells us “Postmodern literature is literature characterized by reliance on narrative techniques such as fragmentation, paradox, and the unreliable narrator; and often is (though not exclusively) defined as a style or a trend which emerged in the post–World War II era. Postmodern works are seen as a response against dogmatic following of Enlightenment thinking and Modernist approaches to literature.”Which didn’t help much.I am apparently not alone in finding that there is no single definition of postmodern literature, that it is a chameleon form, and that it is as variable as its own unreliable narrators.So on to Google, which yields: Popular Postmodern Literature Books on Goodreads. This list is somewhat intriguing, predictably not comprehensive, and eclectic.Of those, I have read and enjoyed a number but also had a few I passionately disliked, but the pleasure of the great novels outweighed the agony of the bad ones.Near the top of both the GoodReads list and my own personal list of “books I should read and re-read until I die as there will always be more to discover within their covers” was If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino. (More on that here: Holly Root-Gutteridge's answer to How do you feel about the literary value of Calvino's "If On a Winter's Night"?)Therefore, yes, I enjoy at least some postmodern literature.Ditto, Catch-22 (Catch-22, #1) which is too often considered a high school necessity when it should, instead, by introduced to the reader without compulsion as it is as heady a drug as any given to Yossarian within its pages.The HandMaid’s Tale, Waiting for Godot, and Wide Sargasso Sea are books that should be read and considered and re-read. They have lessons, wisdom, and depth.Other books, not so much, and perhaps more than most novel forms, I suspect postmodernism has an unusual capacity to infuriate me in record time or leave me unsure why everyone else adores them when I am left cold by their imagery and spacious weirdness.
