Look up Pablo Neruda's poem, "If You Forget Me." One of my favorite poems and a good break-up/self-esteem poem

Thanks.

I don't like poems, but I liked this one :D

Best stanza:

If suddenly

you forget me

do not look for me,

for I shall already have forgotten you.

exactly. That's my favorite stanza of all time, and I was going to quote it.

Edit: I have that poem in both English and Spanish up on my wall here in my classroom

i just stole that joke tgi jef and e-mailed it to a bunch of my coworkers haha

why did you write this twice?

is that your attitude towards your students?

no;)... but the majority of my students (about 95%) are Spanish speakers and I want to show them that I value their culture, their language, and also open their eyes to the fine arts!!

I actually found this poem when I was breaking up with my ex- and I loved that line that Rdskn4Lyf21 quoted. I also love this part:

If you think it long and mad,

the wind of banners

that passes through my life,

and you decide

to leave me at the shore

of the heart where I have roots,

remember

that on that day,

at that hour,

I shall lift my arms

and my roots will set off

to seek another land.

i dunno my crap got all messed up

anyways i applied to ucla on dec 1st lol

have made my deposit at maryland (like a month ago)

and have yet to hear back from ucla

at this point im pretty sure im going to maryland (though ucla would be tempting)

sooo i called and they said i was "still under review by committee" and that decisions would continue to be sent out til the end of may

the optimistic side of me wants to say that its much better than a waitlist in that they havent done that or rejected me yet and they are on the fence about letting me in

but seriously if i was dead set on ucla the wait would ****ing kill me

Poems I didn't know we were doing poems I love it.

I got one for ya.:) Or a lot.I'll start with this one.

Do you see the way that tree bends?

Does it inspire?

Leaning out to catch the sun's rays

A lesson to be applied

Are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh

Or you can come to terms and realize

You're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh

Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

Have you ideas on how this life ends?

Checked your hands and studied the lines

Have you the belief that the road ahead, ascends off into the light?

Seems that needlessly it's getting harder

To find an approach and a way to live

Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets, oh

Or you can come to terms and realize

You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh

Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

feel like it's celebrate Redskins day at work....it's really a week long military celebration and each day is a color theme of each branch of military.

Today is Marine day- so everyone is wearing either Red/gold or burgundy/gold. I love it!
