Way Cool Question!\n\n"The Negro Speaks of Rivers" is an excellent poem by Langston Hughes to explain using TP CAST T!\n\n>>\nI've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the\nflow of human blood in human veins.\n>>\n\nTPCASTT is a way of analyzing a poem.\nSee the link below for how it works.\n\nT-Title - what does title mean *before* you read the poem.\nP-Paraphrase - put the poem in your own words.\nC-Connotation - what meanings are implied?\nA-Attitude - what is tone or attitude of speaker & poet?\nS-Shift - poem shifts, changes, develops\nT-Title - after reading, does title have other meanings?\nT-Theme - what *might* the poet be saying here?\n\nSo this is all about "critical thinking" -- teachers do not care about what YOU think about a poem. The purpose is to teach YOU to think and analyze.\n\nCheck out the link  for the essay on "Rivers" to get some ideas on how to use TP CAST T for the poem.

There's probably several...so, can't help you there...however, if you remember a particular line from one of your poems, you can probably do a general search and find the exact website.  Like, say you go to Yahoo search, type in your line, it may show you where to go.  It probably wouldn't hurt to throw in your user name in the search either

I understand goth.net has a poetry section. Have you read Edgar Allan Poe or Dylan Thomas, or Dorothy Parker?

Difficult one... Once got a poem by email once that kind of sums it up... that really: us whites are the 'coloured'....\n\n\n\n     This was written by a black guy in Texas and is so funny.\n\n       > What a great sense of humour and creativity! \n\n       > >> When I born, I black,\n       > >> when I grow up, I black,\n       > >> when I go in sun,!

Yeah use Black Gospel Lyric Ministry\n \nhttp://blackgospellyricministry.org\n\nThey even have a message board where you can ask for lyrics. The best site in my opinion because that site was the only site that had so many gospel lyrics ubtil this other site Allgospellyric took every lyric from Black Gospel Lyric's site without saying that their entire site is what it is because of Black Gospel Lyric's contribution. That's wrong and it calls itself a Christian site. Support the original gospel lyric site \n\nhttp://blackgospellyricministry.org

Despite about 25 minutes of searching I haven't been able to find this poem.  Could you call or e-mail someone you know who has to do the same assignment and possibly get the poem that way?  \n\nThese sites may be of some help to you.  My only other advice would be to get to a bookstore in your area if there is one and you might find it there.  Best of luck with it.

I like the poem entitled Family by Mark Spencer.  You can find it at  http://www.dreamersreality.com/poems/read/11910/Mark_Spencer/Family/Family/.  Also, there is a poem called The Family Castle by Nancy Rakovszky you can find at netpoets.com.  Best of luck.

Below is Ashante's racist poem:\n\n  "White nationalism is what put you in bondage\nPirate and vampires like Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin\nDrank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with\nSteel, tricks and deceit.\nNothing has changed take a look in our streets\nThe mis-education of she and Hegro -- leaves you on your knee2grow\nBlack lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse\nThey took the gold, the wisdom and all of the storytellers\nThey took the black women, with the black man weak\nMade to watch as they changed the paradigm\nOf our village\nThey killed the blind, they killed the lazy, they went\nSo far as to kill the unborn baby\nYeah White nationalism is what put you in bondage\nPirates and vampires like Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin\nThey drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with\nSteel laden feet, throw in the tricks alcohol and deceit.\nNothing has changed take a look at our streets. \n\n  It appears  this girl is a home daddy taught racist. However I have to agree with the other poster in that it sounds more like her daddy's writting than a 7 year old girl. \n\n  I do however believe she is a racist, a home grown racist in a home grown racist education atmosphere. She would put Al "Shakedown" Sharpton to shame.\n\n   The oddity and fact here is that we in America have only two protected types of racism. That being the racism of Blacks and that of Jews. Either one of these two  races could say and do anything and no one will even flinch . But let it be any other race and especially a white person and even more so now a middle eastern person and you've got  what is necessary for a riot.\n\n   Fact is there is white nationalism and this poor misinformed girl dosn't even understand it. In real White nationalism they wouldn't even think of owning slaves. In fact they want nothing to do with them and rightly so. True White natinalism would have never brought slaves over in the first place nor would they have anything to do with their women. If this young girl who is touted as intelligent knew anything true of history she would have never blamed her bondage on "Whites" but in fact would have put the blame on the Jews where it belongs. It is fact that Jews capitalized and controled the slave industry and were responsible for the greater slavery of the black peoples.\n\n  And what is with  "Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin\nDrank the blood of the sheep?" Does she mean real sheep blood or is she intending us to believe that they are implying that they are the sheep of  ( Israel-Gods chosen). If that is her intended farce then we know that this poem is mostly fiction and that of a true racist mind.\n\n She is misinformed about whites taking the blacks land from them. In fact it was the blacks whom were taken from their land and the blacks who sold their own into slavery and gave them their weak men for slavery. It was a joint business deal between the black slave traders and the Jewish slave traders.\n\n And she states " They took the black women," Who took them? Well, this is full of hypocrissy because in America it is the blacks who took the white women!\n\n "They killed the blind, they killed the lazy, they went\nSo far as to kill the unborn baby" Well those who kill the unborn baby are only half the problem, the other half belongs to the black woman who agrees with abortion. It is factual that more blacks have abortions in America than any other race. So how is that black decission a  white mans falt?\n\n "throw in the tricks alcohol and deceit."  Most deciet I have encountered in America is from the Black man. Not to mention that I am hit up for money by blacks some 2 dozen tims or more a year. No one makes the black man buy or lust after the alchohol. Their ideal is that since there are many more bars in black areas which cause more drunken black men that it is the fault of the white man.
