"Birches" and why it's my favorite poem

I'd like to go by climbing a Birch tree, and climb black branches up a snow white trunk toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more, but dipped its top and set me down again. That would be good both going and coming back. One could do worse than be a swinger of birches. That is the end of my favorite poem. Climbing trees has always been something that I enjoyed doing as a young child. I can relate to this poem in so many ways. We all think about our childhood when we get older. We all wish we could still do the things we did when we were young. This poem talks about a man that want's a break from life but doesn't want that break to be permanent. Things don't work so well when you get older and things don't come as easy as they once did. He talks about climbing this Birch tree towards heaven but not actually going to heaven. He want's to climb high until the tree gives out and sets him back on the ground so he can do it over again. He talks about a break from life but not permanently because he is a lover of life. The man talks about a pathless wood which means that it is easy to get lost in life and lose your way. This is one of the reasons why the man wants a break from life. He is old and tired and not quite sure what his path in life is anymore. He wants to go back to the time when things were easy. Free of bills and responsibilities and the everyday stress of life. frost believed that the earth was a place for love that the world was loveless. He also explains how to swing from a birch. He believed that there was a special way to do it. If it wasn't done the right way, a branch might break. He explains swinging from a Birch tree as an art. Even though when a poet has a meaning in mind when he/she writes, everyone has their own interpretation of what it means to them. I like this poem because it says no matter how old we become, we are still young at heart. It talks about the better things in life. Something so simple as climbing a tree can be satisfying when you realize what life is all about. Forget my worries and the everyday stressors in life. I am going to climb this big, beautiful, Birch tree and forget even if it's for a moment. Beautiful analogies, beautiful poem.

opinion

Ms. Moses,

              I'm not sure if you received my opinion but I keep getting messages that say it's not delivered so here it is.....

                                    I think Elisha has prepared an interesting playlist. Even though I don't understand some of the words in the songs, I like the beat and the melody of the songs. To me good music is when you can feel it and it touches you somewhere down deep. Sometimes the music touches you without even knowing the reason why. I find this to be true in Elishas case. There was only one song that I wasn't crazy about. I really enjoyed the slower songs which I assume are love songs. Overall I think Elisha did a fine job!

Do you remember listening to that music that just grabs your soul and shakes it? Do you remember being young and free when the sky was the limit? Perhaps you think of the first time you fell in love or maybe even your first kiss! Maybe you reminisce about hanging with your lifetime friends from school. Memories are forever and music can bring them all rolling back like a tidal wave. If you are an eighties fan and remember these timeless classics you should listen to my playlist.

my last argument

My last argument was with my daughter over her cleaning her room. I argued that I have been asking her to  clean her room for three weeks! I told her that she would be grounded until it was clean. She keeps saying "I will". I told her that she is not getting anything or going anywhere until it's done because I'm sick of doing things for her but she does nothing I ask of her. I asked her how she would like it if I told her I would buy her a new outfit and then keep putting it off. She wouldn't like it if the shoe was on the other foot. Teenagers are not fun!

new job

I am so thankful to have a new job! I work in a warehouse that makes rails for bmw and Mercedes. I started three days ago and so far I like it. The only downfall is that it's messy and I come home with a dirty face, dirty hands, and my clothes are dirty..From what I understand I can have overtime hours if I choose to. The people I work with are nice so far and it's an enjoyable environment. There is a ninety to 120 day trial hire. I am hoping that I continue to like this job and have the option to stay at this job for awhile. It's difficult to juggle going to school, working, and coming home to four kids but I guess that's the price I've got to pay to be able to live comfortably and supply the needs for my family. Sometimes I am super tired but I just keep telling myself that I'll get plenty of sleep when I'm dead; which hopefully isn't anytime soon. Sometimes I got to be my own cheering section and psyche myself out. I think I can, I think I can!

DOGS ARE GOOD BUT CATS ARE BETTER

I LOVE MY CAT! SHE IS LOVING AND ALWAYS CUDDLES WITH ME. YOU CAN'T REALLY DO THAT WITH MOST DOGS! MY CAT DOESN'T STINK AND GOES POTTY IN THE LITER BOX. DOGS POOP ON THE FLOOR UNLESS YOU HAVE THE TIME TO TAKE THEM OUT. DOGS HAVE TO BE TAKEN FOR A WALK AT LEAST ONCE A DAY BUT THEY PREFER TWICE AT LEAST. YOU HAVE TO GIVE DOGS A BATH AND CATS GIVE THEMSELVES A BATH. CATS ARE JUST SO MUCH EASIER AND THEY ARE SUPER SMART. SOME DOGS ARE SMART TOO BUT MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE OVER ZELLOUS AND DON'T LISTEN. I AM LUCKY TO HAVE A CAT THAT DOESN'T SPRAY OR SCRATCH MY FURNITURE; OVERALL SHE IS JUST THE PERFECT PET. I WOULD BE SAD IF ANYTHING EVER HAPPENED TO HER. I LOST HER FOR A WHILE AND FOUND HER AT THE SHELTER AND SHE WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE ME. I WOULD GET A CAT OVER A DOG ANYDAY.

JOBS are everywhere

It's funny to me that people talk about how hard it is to find a job because I got the choice of three in one day. I made three phone calls and was offered the choice between three different jobs. I understand that some people have a problem when it comes to communication or maybe even skill but if someone really wants something bad enough it's easy to get. All it takes is a little drive and dedication. I love to work because it teaches me discipline and experience, which most employers want these days. Working also allows me to have more choices when it comes to things that I need and want. I have always been the main bread winner when it comes to supporting my household and I don't mind that but it'd be nice to have a two household income. These days two incomes are needed to even have the basics in life, which is why I'm trying to better myself by attending college. Some day my family and I will have the things that we want as well as the things that we need!
