Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date; Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee FORMS OF LYRIC POETRY 2.

I felt the snowy humid air, her dusty wind. Encircled with her thousand luxury cars, I begun to miss thee; motherland. An excerpt from “To My Pearl Of The Orient Seas” by Jett Franco O thy palms so sturdy and luster green That smiled at me, sited in a warm cushioned floor. Let thy beauties drive me home, To the breeze of summer wind and her marvelous rains. To thy tallest structures of concrete sandstone That keep the dust out my breathe. Let me sleep unconsciously and free, as if I'm inside the safety of the hut of my dearest ancestors. FORMS OF LYRIC POETRY 3. ELEGY It is a sad poem often expressing sorrow over someone who died. “The Lover’s Death” by Ricardo Demetillo He who had lived the earth with a firm love Is now, being infirm, laid in the earth That covers him with green grass quietly. Once when he walked the fields, he suddenly knelt And with an avid gesture clasped the earth. His sun-lit fingers sifted dust. Lovers would write their incoherent view On passionate pages; but he, on pads of meadow, Wrote with his plow a tongue-tied love. Fields understood, for when the harvest ripened, Fruits lay like brown breast for his hands to pluck, “The Lover’s Death” by Ricardo Demetillo And he with lightness, touched each pregnant stalk. His house was quiet, like the man who closed The gate-behind him when the lamplight glowed He know no woman's touch except the earth's. We thought it fitting that the sun should touch With quite fingers the rice-fronds in the field When he, after a fever, gave himself to dusk We could not salvage breath, but we could swathe His body and lay it in the earth he loved He may return and beckon from a sheaf. Why do authors write?  PURPOSE OF WRITING 01 PERSUADE 02 INFORM 03 ENTERTAIN PERSUADE The author's goal is to convince his readers to agree with his viewpoint or to take action.
