keep trying hard

Eternity myself passion

Perplexed immortality graduate hot

Chaos stranger in turn

I just feel, in life, that everything is not easy. But I always keep trying hard with my passion.
Especially, after I came to New York, I have faced with many kinds of hardship such as getting used to in this culture, learning new language, and live in new environment. So, it is like perplex for me, it could be a chaos, but some when, I should cope with this hardship. Every sorrow and happiness comes in turn, so I will get huge fulfillment after overcoming this hardship.

Creating a Dada Poem

For today's assignment you will create a Dada-based poem, and then include a brief interpretation of your poem.

Follow these steps:

1. Write 10 random words on a sheet of paper (or cut them out of newspaper)

2. Cut out the words and turn them over so you can't see them

3. Randomly pick up the words and place them in the following:
----3 words first line
----4 words second line
----3 words final line

This is your 3-line poem! It may not make sense due to the grammatical ordering of English, but remember the point of Surrealism/Dadaism is that meaning doesn't have to be obvious.

Obviously you can see that basic words like "it" "the" "so" will not prove as interesting as more unique words.

---->Post your poem to the Blog here and write a 5-sentence paragraph interpreting your poem. You might create a title for your poem as well!
