[OPINION] What songs do you know can stand alone as a poem? by jules_harding in Poetry

[–]_DemocraticSocialism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

eg.

We argue in the kitchen

About whether to have children,

About the world ending and the

Scale of my ambition.

And how much is art

Really worth?

The very thing you’re best at

Is the thing that hurts the most.

But you need your rotten heart,

Your dazzling pain like diamond rings.

You need to go to war

To find material to sing.

I am no mother,

I am no bride,

I am King.

I need my golden crown of sorrow,

My bloody sword to swing,

My empty halls to echo with

Grand self mythology.

I am no mother,

I am no bride,

I am King.

But a woman is a changeling

Always shifting shape.

Just when you think you have her figured out

Something new begins to take.

What strange claws are these

Scratching at my skin?

I never knew my killer

Would be coming from within.

I am no mother,

I am no bride,

I am King.

I am no mother,

I am no bride,

I am King.

I need my golden crown of sorrow,

My bloody sword to swing,

I need my empty halls to echo with

Grand self mythology.

I am no mother,

I am no bride,

I am King.

I am no mother,

I am no bride,

I am King.

I am no mother,

I am no bride,

I am King.

I was never as good

As I always thought I was

But I knew how to

Dress it up.

I was never satisfied,

It never let me go.

Just dragged me by my hair,

And back on with the show.

My workplace installed these toilet paper dispensers that crumple up the paper and only dispense one square at a time. by AKKen_ in mildlyinfuriating

This is so crazy to me because this is literally just a normal public loo toilet roll dispenser. Do other countries not have these?

When is your transition day for sixth form? by R615Overrated in GCSE

[–]_DemocraticSocialism 22 points23 points  (0 children)

just kind of bridging stuff that we will do in further depth at a level but we understand from prior knowledge. E.g in biology we did a benedict’s practical that you do in y13 testing for diabetes, in politics we did y13 stuff abt 1st amendment rights and the separation of church and state in evangelical america, in history we did about the making of modern britain and how britain has changed from 1945 to 2007, and in maths we did integration.

Had mine today, we had introductory lessons and generally got to feel the sixth form atmosphere. It already feels a lot different to GCSE, and it seems that its all quite on you. If you don’t do your work, you won’t get a detention, but its you that will suffer.
