Welcome

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog.
This blog is being written for my senior seminar English 495ESM Multigenre Literacy in a Global Context class. I am really looking forward to this class and assignment. I think technology has become a crucial part of our lives and it's wonderful to show that it can be used to make an impact and bring people together.

I love literature and I think technology allows people all around the globe to share their passion and reach an audience on a scale that would, at one point, have seemed impossible. This is a lesson I hope to teach my students when I become a high school teacher. Literature is not about writing a masterpiece, but expressing ones ideas and hopefully reaching someone in the process; with technology, doing that is easier than ever. Even Moodle and other such programs have made it easier for teachers to connect better with their students as well as Moodle forums allowing students to connect with other students. Through experience and with a little creativity, technology can be used to better connect with newer generation students and to teach them in a way that would actually fuel their passion for the subject.

Having never written a blog, this will be a nice way for me to be creative and share the lessons I learn this semester with others.

A Dimmed Light (Poem 01)


Note: This poem is written in five stanzas, each stanza consisting of four lines. This poem does not really have a set scheme or style. Each of the stanzas are kind of on their own, whereas one may have an ABAC rhyme scheme, the other may have a rhyming couplet. My main concern was telling the story through the metaphor of light and through a little rhyme to help it flow.


A Dimmed Light
Looking back at the life I once lived
I have but one regret,
She was the light of my life
Like a twinkling star in the dark sky.

A light dimmed before it’s time,
Darkness now clouds my sky.
That light brought joy to life.
  She was my love, forever mine.

I should have held her more,
Given her the love she was desperate for.
She always knew she was the one,
The one who could make my heart run.

I knew we were meant to be,
Sometimes fate doesn’t seem to agree.
She was the flame who filled the room,
Her warmth, I wish I still knew.
 
She lit up my world like none before.
A glimmer of hope for this lost soul.
I wish I could tell her again
She was my love, she was my soul.
