poetry

at the beginning of the year i was in a drama class at school. we did a little something our teacher called a poetry slam. you would take the lyrics of a song and say them diferently. so i took the words of the wonderful "imagine" by john lennon. these words rang true in my head but sounded odd out of my mouth. i got a good grade but something wasn't right. sure these songs are beautiful poems, but they were meant to have music. without the musis they dont mean as much or have greater impact on people. its amazing how a sound can affect our personality. when i am feeling sad (usually about boys... cute boys...) i listen to sad songs which mean alot to me. the hit me somewhere only a song can. "imagine" hit me after watching (i know it sounds lame but...) animal cops. these poor poor souls were just lying there and ugh! anyway, if youre feeling blue, i garuntee you will be happier if you listen to a fast tempo song!
love,
maddie
b.t.w i dropped outof that class... it wasnt for me.
