Poetry is an imaginative awareness of experience expressed through meaning, sound, and rhythmic language choices so as to evoke an emotional response. Poetry has been known to employ meter and rhyme, but this is by no means necessary.
Music is an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner

Music is the art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.
Angel Of Mine - Monica
When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of Mine
I look at you looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Gonna love you boy you are so fine
Angel of Mine
How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm here for now, you helped me grow
Chorus:
You came into my life
Sent from above
When I lost the hope
You show my love
I'm checkin for you
Boy your right on time
Angel of Mine
Nothing means more to me then what we share
No one in this world can ever compare
Last night the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel of Mine
What you mean to me you'll never know
Deep inside I need to show
(Chorus)
I never knew I could feel each moment
As if they were new
Every breath that I take
The love that we make
I only share it with you
You, You, You, You
When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of Mine
(Chorus)
How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm here for now you helped me grow
I look at you looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Checkin' for you boy your right on time
Angel of Mine

1.) I believe that when a dream is being deferred that it ether has stopped or he has achieved his dream.
ReplyDelete2.) False: i believe that when someone's dream is deferred that they already followed it.
3.)i believe that the poem stated what deferred meant when it said "does it fester like a sore and run" because when you have a dream it builds up and you develop it until you finally complete it and the hope goes away.
4.)it is a metaphor because in one verse he wrote "does it sag like a heavy load".
