List of long poems in English Puns

biographies about emily dickinson: historians wonder what man dickinson was in love with. sources say it could be _____ or _____. oh also she wrote love letters to her sister in law but who cares she probably just loved her as a sister

meanwhile emily dickinson:

>Her breast is fit for pearls,
>
>But I was not a "Diver" -
>
>Her brow is fit for thrones
>
>But I have not a crest.
>
>Her heart is fit for home -
>
>I - a Sparrow - build there
>
>Sweet of twigs and twine
>
>My perennial nest.

Can't remember much more about the book, except it was a hardcover with a dark red cover! Hope someone can help find it.

Hi all, i'm Wantxd and I am looking to collect every single Rainbow Rare GX from Sun and Moon Base to Hidden Fates (and more when they release). I only need particular Rainbow Rares at the moment, and will pay for shipping regardless of location.

The Rainbow Rares I am looking for have been included in a list below, along with other miscellaneous graded and non-graded cards that I am looking to purchase at one point.

Mailing to Australia only costs $1.15 (from US) for an envelope, and that is all I want for shipping unless it is a low priority card (see table). **I am basing the cards in my binder at 10% off the lowest price for a Near-Mint version of the card.**

All of the cards in my binder are Near-Mint to Mint and I can provide close-ups upon request. I would prefer to do trades rather than PayPal but depending on the circumstances, I will use PayPal if need be.

Thanks for taking the time and I hope to trade with you!

Why can't a Scottish presenter; of a Scottish show; on a Scottish TV channel; in a country with 1.5-2 million Scots speakers; bring herself to correctly pronounce the name of such a famous Scots poem, written by our greatest bard?

Seems strange to attempt a new, fudged translation, when the poem is known world over by its Scots title and you're speaking from and to the country of its origin.

Like obviously machine translation still has its deficiencies. But you shouldn't expect a Mandarin-to-English translator to handle Classical Chinese for the same reason you shouldn't expect an Italian-to-English translator to handle Latin! Maybe part of why I'm pissed off at it is because it reflects the linguistic ideology that says there's only one Chinese language, so the "dialects" are "just slang", and Classical Chinese is just the archaic form of "the Chinese language" so it makes sense to have a Mandarin prerequisite for it. See this short satire for example to see how absurd the current situation looks from the outside.

Inspired by a thread on /r/soccer as well as my own interest in the etymology of names, I have gone about translating numerous cyclist's names either into their literal translation or English equivalent.

This happened 3 years ago, but he just texted me reminding me. Deep in an analysis of huckleberr fin I inserted

“Anal beeds part 2, The return of the anal beeds, It was a dark and stormy asshole, It was filled to the brim, But where there is a will there is a way, He worked, And he worked, And he pushed, And he shoved, And eventually he got one in, The first is the hardest they say, They were right, The next went in with ease, Then another and another, But then the real problem emerged, The beeds would not emerge, I pulled and pulled, But they would not jiggle free, Three days later my bowls they felt a twist, And with the moistest of farts, My asshole set them free”

Three years later I still consider this my best piece of literature. He didn’t snitch on me and said he must have accidentally copy and pasted it in from an internet gag page. He got a detention and that was all.

Edit: the formatting is weird so I put in commas to signify line breaks.

Skeletons gather they clatter and clutter in my closet Despite that, I tried my best to outrun my demons I ran as fast as I could but you can’t outrun your shadow It always stuck to my tippy toes I tipped toed around the shattered glass I hated school so instead I skipped class I got detention for being late, then came late to detentions Yearning for attention, all I got was suspensions

So lost in my ways, couldn’t find my way out of the maze I was trapped in When I ran I told them not to chase me

I didn’t really like much I stayed inside on the daily Getting faded just to cope My Emotions stayed on rotation Rest in peace to the man that saved me I wish that he could of made it Lifeless his body stagnant I saw him lie on the pavement Brain matter painted the sidewalk in a pool of blood that he layed in The shock was too much I couldn’t scream or cry for you I wished that we coulda switched places I would have died for you

But the past is set in stone we can’t change it I remember that he taught me that Isaiah was his name but he made me call him Zay And it stood for the fact that he’d be the one that would pave a way he said that everyone deserved a better day then what they once had

I wished I listened more to him when he was alive For someone so young he held a lot of wisdom I needed to look in the mirror To reflect and reassess all of the lessons I would neglect Half of them makes sense the other half still riddles to me Remember he called me Moses cuz of the makeshift staff, sending ripples through the rivers I see him in my dreams, I reach out for his hand but when I go to grab it I feel quaking through the land

Then I slip through the cracks Now I'm falling fast, rocks along the walls turn to sculptures from my past stuck in the mud - caught up in my tracks Let me retract To how I did react

after his demise, tears filled in my eyes, It made me feel weak but all I did was cry it all hit me at once I would never see him again, I had to contemplate on the things that we’d use to conversate He always told me “keep ya grades up fore you catch a beating like the heart inside ya chest” Life knocked me down, I was depressed, he picked me up while the scars on my flesh were fresh “Tomorrow is never promised so hit every goal that you set, yes” I remember him telling me that

He always had the best for me in his mind so I remind myself daily that he’s still by my side I see his spirit all the time Through death there is life I remember that he taught

This is the only place I can shamelessly gloat about being happy. I've got a well paying job, an amazing fiancee, and an apartment without roommates. I managed to graduate despite my own self sabotaging in the past. I lost 70 pounds and kept them off. My savings account is growing. Things have been great and keep being great. I'm so excited to see what the future holds.

I'm German and this is the first poem I've ever written in English.

Here I stand in adoration With loving eyes I see you And this is more than just flirtation Everything seems right when you're the view

My heart opens up to you like no one else before When I'm with you I don't have to pretend Cause when you take a look into my eyes my heart flies like a commodore To me you're more than just a lady friend

You're funny, kind and generous And that's not even all You're also creative, smart and gorgeous For you anytime I'd take the fall

And if the shadows of the past seem to hunt you Let me be your torch To shine a light into a brighter future

Christmas, or in this case Dragonyule, has been an event that brought forth joy to numerous folk, whether human, sylvan, crystalian (if we're going to call Lily that) and many other beings that live in Grastaea. From hardworkers and monarchs like Cleo, Xander and Nefaria, to allurers and dragon clansmen like Malora and Xainfried, Fydon and Felix. Even straightforward soldiers with no rest, like Victor teaming up with Lily. But what about the supposed Goddess that supposedly brought forth the origin of this festival herself, as well as one of the most objective-focused agents of the Church? Given what we know about the secrets of the Church and the Goddess itself, this Dragonyule has taken a very serious turn!

Sorry about being late, I've been rather busy with numerous things. But now I can sit down and actually have time to write this post without any clutter in my mind! We have Nevin and Ilia that star the show, and let's not forget our one-eyed Blazewolf grandpa, Gatov! To no surprise, Ilia and Nevin both have their actors reprising them, even though most considered Nevin's voice to sound different than usual. Shall we?

Ilia - Kelly Sheridan. Ilia was Kelly Sheridan's first character (the second being Kuzunoha) to use her real name, since her previous characters of Verica, Xania and part of Mym (sharing the role with Tabitha St Germain) was credited by her pseudonym, Kelly Marie. Kelly is a very popular voice actor, though unfortunately overshadowed by the US voice actors because most anime work ends up in the US (which is fair enough). However, she did appear in early 00s anime shows such as Sango from Inuyasha, Hitomi from The Vision of Escaflowne, Praxina from Lolirock, Scarlet Witch from X-Men Evolution, and so on.

What do you think of Ilia's Dragonyule take?

Nevin - Alessandro Juliani. Also the voice of Nevin's angel daddy Ramiel, Alessandro has done plenty of VO work for animations as well as live-action shows. Still, I'm surprised there was no response when this guy was responsible for the voice of L in Death Note, Jacapo Sinclair in The 100, Koji in Oban: Star Racers, Lt Felix Gaeta in Battlestar Galactica, and many others! What do you think of his, different take in Dragonyule Nevin, according to what you guys said?

Gatov - Dan Zachary. Our newest voice actor to join the party! Dan Zachary was born in Winnipeg, Canada and started making small comedy shorts with his friends and share it with other friends for a laugh in his high

So in English adjectives are ordered as determiner (a/the, any/all), opinion (happy/sad, beautiful/ugly), size (big/small), age (old/new), shape (flat/round), colour (black/white), origin (American/British), material (metal/glass) and purpose (running, office e.t.c).

I'm trying to think of a good resource which mentions all of these in normal sentences.

I was thinking of something like this, but more covering all adjective types and more adult

For reference I'm a native speaker who wants to be a teacher. Should I just make up something myself?

Tired of the mediocre, merely patriotic poetry of the time, Daniel Varoujan published his controversial Pagan Songs, a celebration of the wonders of women, fertility, and erotic love. Seeking to resurrect the pagan era when strength and beauty were worshipped, Pagan Songs succeeded in sparking the pagan movement (hetanosakan sharzhoum) in Armenian literature. When it was published in 1912, it was condemned as anti-Christian by the Church, criticized by feminists for "objectifying" women, and even denounced as pornographic.

The new volume by translator Hratch Demiurge includes:

• An extensive introduction on the controversy surrounding the publication titled "Daniel Varoujan's Pagan Songs: Poetry, Pornography and Paganism"
• A full and faithful translation of all twenty-one poems in the collection, including the controversial "O Lalage!" and "Oriental Bathhouse", and some never before translated poems like "Original Sin", "Pegasus" and "After the Orgy".
• Essential explanatory notes to the text.
• An appendix on the cult of the pre-Christian Armenian goddess Anahit citing Greek, Roman and early Armenian sources, and excerpts from Agathangelos on Armenia's conversion to Christianity and the destruction of Anahit's temple and the native Armenian religion by St. Gregory.
