A dying rose should I be now
With a body similar to a cow
Eyes touching my lips
Marks all over the chicks

Dresses should now no fit
Beauty not show even a bit
Colors no longer match
And the floor should I scratch

The case is not that one for me
For I still make man see
Joy of the cut
Everything still like rock

How could a niddle
Removing such a griddle
Create so much pleasure
And make heads turn without a measure

Whoever said beauty fades away
And that the soul will decay
Never thought of a trick
Gave up and got sick

Open your eyes
Realize that there are always both sides
Get off some meat
It’s ok to sometimes cheat

If today was my last day I would grabb all my stuff and get out of school the faster as I can. The first thing I would do would be to get a phone (because mine is not working) and call my best friends. I would drive home faster than ever without a care and as soon as I get there I would take my school uniforms out and take a quick bath. At that moment all of my friends would be there and I guess I would prefer to just lay on the grass for a while with them, while we have a smoke, talking about goood memories and things we shared together, our trips, adventures, parties, drunkness, and everything we could remember. At that time I would have a time with my family and tell them how much I love them and everything and get in a car with my best friends and take a long drive somewhere far away from the noise and the people. On our way we would buy as much beer, tekila, cigars, and may be a couple of illegal stuff. We would drive somewhere near the mountains and make a fire. The car would be parked near with our favorite songs out loud and we would sit there and watch how the sun goes out with a beer and a smoke in our hands. As the night goes on we would still be remembering all the things we shared together and try weed and feel how it gets into us and makes us fly out of the world for a while.

1. Write freely for 8 minutes about any personal connections you can make to the poem, experiences or feelings that you’ve had, or perhaps that you’ve witnessed in others. Try to find the one word or phrase from the poem that most strongly affects your feelings.

I’ve seen in other people how obsessed they can get when they are rejected by their boyfriend/girlfriend. They do not think of anything else but them and they do whatever they can to get their attention back, they act carelessly and hunt them until they can do no more. They even try to go where that person’s going so they can “accidentaly” meet and maybe talk. For me this is completely stupid and forced. In my opinion, if you are with someone it is because that someone really wants to be with you, not forced, but by their own will, and when they are with you in that way, then you know they really love you and want to be with you. So, it is kind of stupid to chase someone who no longer wants to be with you and try to make them part of your life. It would be a forced relationship filled with fake feelings and probably it would end up worse than it first was.
 I’ve been in the spot where I cant really stop thinking about someone because that someone has hurt my feelings but not in the spot of chasing them until I can get their attention.

2. What does the concept of love in this poem suggest about the position of women in Wyatt’s time? How do you respond to the woman’s statement “Caesar’s I am”?

Women in this time were supposed to be hunted and to not be the hunter. The man was the one who had to figth for her love, reach her feelings, and get her to be his. Plus, she had to play the hard to get and make things a though for the man.
She was
