"Oh Child, how amazing you look!
It will amuse me to see you laugh
But what is it you say
That questioning look on your face?
Oh Child, how confused you look
Is it all that work that perplexes you?
Oh my, how difficult it is. You are just like me!
Oh Child, how terrified you look
Is it the speech that petrifies you?
Oh my, how strange it is indeed. I am just like you!
Oh Child, how much we have in common
We share thoughts, we share character
But you have something more important in you
Merriment"
There isn't much to say about this. The first stanza is an introduction to what this person (who is supposed to be a female figure)is facing. I am showing the similarity between the narrator and the female figure and how that the narrator likes the female character. How he shows this is in the last stanza when he says that merriment is the most important characteristic that the female character has. I tried to make the merriment tie in with the line "It will amuse me to see you laugh", to show a conclusion in how joyful the female character is and how an important person she is to the narrator who loves her.

The Music Behind You
"Ah the music is behind you, can you not see?
It is the most romantic thing I have ever come across
The sound of the sea
It makes me weep with waves of tears
The most dynamic song, stronger than Chopin
It is the only adagio that they cannot hear
How fortunate that only I can come across, stronger than Chopin
The music that forever keeps your name
I love you dearly
Your soul, your heart
Your Music"
This was not written in class, but I just thought of this while I was sitting in this room, just thinking. I thought of my love, and felt this strange but quite romantic song. It was not something that was composed by some Romantic era composer ( Not even Faure I suppose), but it was really nice. It was indeed quite like Chopin who I think is a very nice composer in the Romantic era. It was a nice slow piece, sort of like Liszt but different.
This is something that only I can "hear" in my head while everyone else can't and because of that music, it makes me love my love very dearly. That why it ends up being "Your Music"
Now why haven't I put "The music that is behind you" as the conclusion instead of "Your Music"? Well, I was thinking that as well, but like I have said, it is something only I can hear (the sound of the adagio), and I want to emphasize on the last stanza which says "I love you dearly, your soul, your heart" and to conclude that, I didn't want to put The music that is behind you because one, that is too long, and two, it would show more emotion with "Your Music". I didn't want to make it too obvious even though it sort of is, but it would show lots of love for others who write this as well.

You
You
"How lovely you are, but you don't know
The highlights you have show all you want me to see
Oh how I wish you knew
The thing you do not know
Your eyes are bright as Sirius
The ones I look in awe
Your motions are elegant like the prairie
The swift, floating figure smiling
Your hair is illuminating as the sunset
My eyes enjoy it with beauty
Your talk is like the meadow
My ears hear it with glee
How lovely you are, but you don't know
The happiness you show want me to rise
Oh how I wish you knew
The love and care I have for you"
Surprisingly, this was originally written at my school, during one of the classes. We were having a seminar discussion, when all of a sudden, I started writing random things. Those "things" became some quotes, and then started becoming a poem.
I have a love, you see. But this poem was not really intended for my love. In class, there is another beauty who sits right across from me. These descriptions describe what she is.
"Your eyes are bright as Sirius" obviously refers to her eyes which are really bright blue. I look around the classroom, and then when I come across her, the first thing I look at are her bright blue eyes which are really significant. There is not other person I know that has the bright round blue eyes that remind me of the star, Sirius which is pretty bright.
"Your hair is illuminating as the sunset, my eyes enjoy it with beauty"
I took this during another class, looking at the same girl, this time, sitting in front of me. I look at her hair, and when she turns around, with her hair following, its a really nice golden color, the color of a sunset in my image. I wouldn't really want to say her hair is a nice golden fleece color or a golden caramel which can be a bit weird in some cases.
"Your talk is like the meadow, my ears hear it with glee"
Like with most girls, her talk is soft, mellow voice which always draws my attention rather than a monotone guy voice which rambles on and makes me sleep. Now, I'm not exaggerating when I say "my ears hear it with glee", but I just always notice her voice and always listen to her instead of falling asleep.
"Oh how I wish you knew, the thing that you do not know"
What I mean by this is that although she is pretty, I'm not confident to think that she realizes that I look at her but not fully like her because I have mentioned that I already have a love. But I do like her features for they are quite inspiring.
