One of my favorite artist is YFN Lucci and in his song "Woke Up (Boss)" he said "I steeped in the some mud and whipped it off, took a lose and took a lost, I'm a boss." This line means that in life you are going to experience some had times witch may lead to loses, but you have to overcome the loses and be a boss.

Jahai Canty said "Images can mean a plethora of things depending on the viewers understanding. Imagery appeals to the five senses. The poem "Heat" by H.D uses the imagery of touch. In the poem "Heat" the author says "fruit cannot fall into heat", and "O wind, rend open the heat". I understand this image as heat being a feeling of touch. Also, the elements of nature are being personified."


Siobhan Neal said "Images can tell things better then words can tell it. Action speaks louder then words, and images are sometimes better then words. I know when I look at an image I can see the words throughout the image and sometimes predict what happens.Like Maya Angelou poem "Phenomenal Woman" I can see a woman that is strong and is well smart about what she do."

The definition of image is language that addresses the senses. We use images to describe different things and to catch you audience attention. They provide verbal pictures of the poet's encounters real or imagined with the world.

Jaylen Pope said in her post "Usually we think of myths as imaginary gods that are powerful and perform magic and other things. In the poem "Hazel Tell LaVerne" written by Katharyn Howd Machan is revised version of the princess frog. "Myths can be a window into a culture's deepest perceptions about itself because myths attempt to explain what otherwise seems unexplainable(2042)." The poem represents that a talking frog that want a maid to kiss him in hopes of becoming a princess. Hope is the main thing in this poem."


Demetri Carter said in his post "In the poem "Hazel Tell LaVerne" written by Katharyn Howd Machan is revised version of the princess frog. "Myths can be a window into a culture's deepest perceptions about itself because myths attempt to explain what otherwise seems unexplainable." The poem is about a frog that wants to become a prince, but that only way he can become the prince is by true love's kiss by a maid. So the theme of the poem is true loves."

• Most people know myths from books and stories that they have read. You usually see them there because the author is trying to enhance the audience imagination and try to have them to think outside of the box. "In this context myth is not to be understood simply as referring to stories about imaginary gods who perform astonishing feats in the causes of love, jealousy, or hatred (2042)."

Monicia Andrews said "I believe that the theme of phenomenal woman is how an average woman is still beautiful because of the way she carries herself. Its not because she looks like a model or walks like one. It's because she has soo much confidence and she has a good head on her shoulders. So when she walks around people can see that she is confident, graceful, and that she wont let anything bring down her pride in life. This is why she is so phenomenal."


Demetri Carter said "Jay Z- These are not sixteen's, these are verses from the bible-. That is my favorite verse from him and the theme of it is his rhymes are not just a basic 16 bars, that they are holy and that they should be praised like words from the bible."

The theme of your favorite song lyric or favorite poem? My favored song lyric is from Kevin Gated "I don't get tired". The lyric is "get it get fly, I got six jobs I don't get tired". I like that lyric because it just brings a lot of energy and passion. It means that I don't get tired and doing what I do in life. This is a great workout song and gets you motivated to do anything that you put your mind to.
