"Ah, AreYou Digging On My Grave?"

"Ah, are you digging on my grave
My loved one? -- planting rue?"
-- "No, yesterday he went to wed
One of the brightest wealth has bred.
'It cannot hurt her now,' he said,
'That I should not be true.'"

"Then who is digging on my grave?
My nearest dearest kin?"
-- "Ah, no; they sit and think, 'What use!
What good will planting flowers produce?
No tendance of her mound can loose
Her spirit from Death's gin.' "

"But some one digs upon my grave?
My enemy? -- prodding sly?"
-- "Nay: when she heard you had passed the Gate
That shuts on all flesh soon or late,
She thought you no more worth her hate,
And cares not where you lie."

"Then, who is digging on my grave?
Say -- since I have not guessed!"
-- "O it is I, my mistress dear,
Your little dog, who still lives near,
And much I hope my movements here
Have not disturbed your rest?"

"Ah yes! You dig upon my grave . . .
Why flashed it not on me
That one true heart was left behind!
What feeling do we ever find
To equal among human kind
A dog's fidelity!"

"Mistress, I dug upon your grave
To bury a bone, in case
I should be hungry near this spot
When passing on my daily trot.
I am sorry, but I quite forgot
It was your resting-place."

This poem was on my CBA for my English 4 class this past 9 weeks.
I thought it was both amusing and very saddening.

What do you think?

18

Well, March 23rd, Tuesday. Which today is kinda Wednesday, so it was yesterday... Was pretty cool.

I mean I hung out with a few good friends and my parents, bought my prom dress and mask for prom. Both the mask and dress were made for me. Not really, but when I tried them on, they were perfect.

But, regardless.... I'm legal now. I'm having a party with my friend Katie on Sunday (because he birthday is on Friday and we're awesome like that.) The party theme is a 20's through the 80's time flash deal. I'm going to be a '50s Car Hop girl :D It'll be awesome for the party too!

But, this post was just to post and keep everyone entertained.

I have yet to get either of the new Pokemon games. Fail D: I shall get them in good time. For now, farewell sleep beckons me.

If I had a world of my own it would all be Nonsense!

My world would consist of starry night skies where the moon is always visible, mint bushes would grow wild, Rose bushes would be tamed for me, animals would talk, Pokemon would exist, Wizards would turn people into frogs and the Anon would rule!

Alright... now that's just ridiculous.

Anyways, I live in reality now, no rabbit holes to fall into. Maybe a book would be as so kind as to welcome me with open arms to fall into it with my imagination open.

Books, books, glorious books. An open world full of wonders or boring speeches. It all depends on what you are reading.

I think I might just read "The Little Prince" once again, or maybe watch "Where The Wild Things Are" because I need that dose of child-like innocence of going off into another world, away from the real thing for a little while.

Y'know, we all need our healthy doses of that or we'll go insane... I do believe that to be very true in my world. If I don't take a breather from all this stress it gets to me at the worst moments.

I need it right now for the fact that.. Tomorrow, March 23rd I turn 18 and my days of relaxation are done with until I have time to take vacation. Hah, school work, scholarships, college applications, finding an apartment, moving to Louisiana, joining the Air Force, staying in Fort Worth, going to the Art Institute of Dallas and going into debt up to my neck.. What choices I have to make.

I will get through this, y'know why?
Because I won't let this build up inside of me. I will conquer it.
:]
I have faith in myself to make it through this.
