A Street Bee Tale #6

rOmance by eDgar aLlan pOe

rOmance, who loves to nod and sing
wIth drowsy head and folded wing
aMong the green leaves as they shake
fAr down within some shadowy lake,
tO me a painted paroquet
hAth been—most familiar bird—
tAught me my alphabet to say,
tO lisp my very earliest word
wHile in the wild wood i Did lie,
a Child—with a most knowing eye.
oF late, eternal condor years
sO shake the very hEaven on high
wIth tumult as they thunder by,
i Have no time for idle cares
tHrough gazing on the unquiet sky;
aNd when an hour with calmer wings
iTs down upon my spirit flings,
tHat little time with lyre and rhyme
tO while away—forbidden things—
mY heart would feel to be a crime
uNless it trembled with the strings.

2. i Picked this poem since i'Ve always enjoyed eDgar aLlan pOe's work when we've gone over it in school. tHe style of writing, its odd metaphors and the sort make it an intriguing read.
3. tHe title is simple enough. iT tell the reader what his poem is commenting on as it may be harder to determine by reading it alone.
4. pOe uses both metaphor and imagery. bOth allow him to express romance in his own way both making connections with readers and showing us how he views romance.
5. tHe tone seems somewhat somber and reminiscent, a nostalgia filled memory if you will.

sO hElmets nOt a cHair is gonna play the hOmecoming rOast! wE did a show at the gArage last friday which was alot of fun and surprisingly better than the show several weeks before there. tHis next show for hOmecoming will be alot of fun though cause we're the oldest band (except for the kElpies cause they're made up of seniors and college students) and we've played it two times before so we should most likely get the last slot in the show (we've been the opening act twice so as seniors we should most def get the prime spot!?! oH well, we'll see tomorrow at the meeting. iF you don't know if you're gonna come and listen on next wed then you should at least check out the band's myspace which has a few songs off our upcoming ep "hAul aSs or nOthing" which is abundent with man rock. sWeet

A Street Bee Tale #3

tEntative title: aTtemtping oUr oWn mAsterpeice

dAn and i Circled around the wYman building for the third time before taking a wrong turn down 4th aVenue. a Distant, poorly mixed recording of mAiden tHerapy, one of our earliest creations (some three years old) hummed through the car speakers. iT would be ten more minutes before we'd find the parking lot nearest the studio and another fifteen before our gear would freight up the elavator towards our sound-proff room full of expensive microphones and excessive cords.

tHis was not the first time that dAn and i Had entered nElsound sTudio - dOug and mAtt had just parked in the lot accross the street and would shortly be joining us - but it was the first time dAn and i Had heived over 100 pounds of drums, guitars and amps in to the somewhat familiar living room of the studio. wAiting down at the front door had been mIchael nElson, owner of nElsound sTudio and soon to be engineer and producer of what we hoped to be our very own masterpeice: a Self financed five song ep of mAn rOck.

hEy, yall, so i'Ve been listening to a new band lately which really rocks out. tHeir called pRotest tHe hEro, and even though i Found out they're from cAnada, they still are disgusting. tHe guitar work, vocal work, bass work, and drum work (as it happens, the whole band) are all top notch and redicously prestine. i Bought their cd after my girlfriends brother bothered me into listening and then i talked to my girlfriends older sister's boyfriend who had actually introduced my girlfiends brother, and then me. i'M confused, and not sure if we're supposted to be writing about just anything right now so i'M gonna stop this and ask kRaus whom is next to me. oH, here is a video of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypCdGNe3Bvs
