Ballad

In the middle of green sea

Two loves grew their size

But sky only sees three lovers

Two hearts wrote love for her

But one did not told to her

And left in words forever

He prayed to god

He prayed to stop his time

Every day, he prayed to his god

But his god stopped other boy’s time

Boy thought god gave him chance to change

But it was mistake

Girl prayed to her god

To exchange her life and lover’s life

Every day she prayed to her god

But god didn’t have

He didn’t have power

When time stops, no can restart

She waited for her love

She couldn’t live with him

Boy couldn’t help her

Girl went weaker and weaker

Boys get sick of inability

Girl finally decided

When no one is near her

She killed herself

And finally two lovers met

Boy who left in the world

Never visit them

it lasted in boy's heart

but it was not the end

Another love story began

in great father's love house

  1. a. Easiest aspect was I can imagine many things that is very dramatic, and the fact that there is many evidences that I can look in this world. However, it was still hard to make story in my head, and I could find my poem become a story that is sad and only dramatic

    b.I listened many different ballad, and see how they explained word love. but love was too complicated to explain in love. So I remembered a story I read long long time ago, and I made new story.

    c.People write poetry to emphasize or exaggerate their feeling. many poems written to record history dramatically, but later it became enjoyment like song

    d.I don't think I made good word choices. it was very vague and hard to understand.I might have good love story but I didn't write good ballad.

  2. 1. This ballad is about loves but has sadness in their love.
    2.where's the stanzas? I don't think I can't find any rhyme scheme in this ballad.
    3. Three words that are good word choices are god, prayed, and love.
    4. I don't really get what this ballad is about, but then I think it is about two lovers who died and met again after they died. Therefore, another love story began.
    5. I don't think there are any poetic devices used in this ballad.

  3. 1. Summarize the ballad. What impressions or feelings do you have towards it?
    kind of confusing...
    2. Analyze the rhyme scheme. What is it and how does it contribute to the ballad?
    some rhyme with ABAB pattern but lots of lines don't rhyme...
    3. Pick three words that are a good word choice. Why?
    inability, change, weaker. inability is not a everyday word, sounds mysterious
    change and weaker just stood out to me for some reason...
    4. What story is the ballad telling? (What is the message of the poem?)
    It;s a love ballad but i couldn't get the theme.
    5. What poetic devices (figures of speech) did the poet use? Why?
    For the writer: some rhymes?
