My World
May 8, 2008
By Francine Pucillo
That hate will be no more
Each nation joined together
Dove’s wings of peace now soar
No ignorance be found
Within each heart of stranger
Just love and life abound
Hands of every color
Reach across the world
Joining with each other
Defining love unfurled
Finding peace in helping
With tenderness and care
Hearts and souls all reaching
In silence love is there
Universal language
We each can understand
Hearts that touch so softly
Will fall upon each land
I hope one day this happens
I pray that this be so
With love and gentle kindness
World’s crown is soft rainbow.

The poem you picked touches me deep inside because even though the vocabulary is complex it makes you think that everything being said is true and in your soapstone analysis you described the poem just like I thought it was. I noticed that you didn’t have an occasion well I think the occasion might have been that the world is not much of peace but it is sort of hard because allot of things are taking place in your poem. Well I realy liked it and it was a good choice.

The poem is a beautiful poem. Though as for you “soapstone” it’s a little confusing:-(.For example your A in the soapstone “The audience is everyone who do not care about the earth” it can be worded maybe like:”The audience would be those who don’t care about the earth they live in.” Then the occasion could be:”During tough times people tend to give up and the writer is possibly in one of those moments.

This poem was very deep and almost brought tears to my eyes :] I agree with everything it says. We need to take better care of our earth, before it’s too late…

WOW i like this poem. it makes me smile.
The fact that no more war and happiness al around sounds nice. but remeber without an enemy you don’t know who you real friends are.
GREAT soapstone by the way
