Home
The time in which the heavens
touch the earth
I will be there
Around the yonder bend
Past the billibong
And in the fields of tomorrow
where your wheat will be golden
And as the sun touches the earth
like the artiest
and whistles of the wind sing
to the toon of the birds
is the time in which you'll find me
coming home
And if you do not see me first
listen to the sound of the dogs
bark
and let them lead you back
to me
And in this heavenly moment
child
I will embrace you
my sweet daughter
for I am
Home
But do not be scared when I am gone
for angels will watch my every
step of the way
And when you feel all alone
just look at the time
when the heavens touch the earth
and know that I am coming home
-Meredyth Yorek
In this poem I used enjambment, euphony, personification, and simile.

song analisis
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/animals/houseoftherisingsun.html
The song I am choosing to analyze is the House of the Rising Sun by the Animals.
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
[Organ Solo]
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
[Organ Solo]
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
Analysis
Within the song there is of corse a rhyme pattern and a lot of end rhyme, and some eternal rhyme. Such as in sin, or to new. For end rhyme there are things like done sun, train chain, and sun and one. Also there is a lot of sibilance. Within every line there is multiple s sounds, weather it starts, ends or is within the word. Also this whole entire song is filled Euphony.
This song tells a story about a guy that ruins his life by drinking and stuff, and while he could easily tell the story with all wow is me and cacophony he decides to use euphony to tell it. This makes it all nice and pretty for a sad story witch I find to be very interesting. Also the way that they use sibilance within it makes it sound all sorrowful and sad. This is because all the s words seem to be sad ones, or the way that they are put in it make it sound so sad. But that is what they were going for. The way that the animals uses euphony, and sibilance brings about a sad, sorrowful, and resentful tone to this song, making one feel some what sad when listing to it.

Draft
I like my draft so far. I knead to fix alot of spelling though. I also think I knead to fix the way I say some things in there, and maby shorten it. However I think the amount of information I put in was good. I spent alot of time on it. I feel pretty confident.

Free post: Make your own story
The rode os bumpy and ash grey under you. The full moon is out tonight. The wind whispers as you drive down the endless, gravel road. In the distance you can here the wolf call out its lonely howell. You here a ticking noise in your car. It starts slowing, and fumes start coming out of your engine. You pull over to the side of the road, and break open the hood. Your engine has just broken down. No cars, nor street lights are out on this lonely dark road. You are stranded. You take out your phone but the batteries are dead. What do you do A or B.
A: You decide to get back into the car, and wait. Someone is bound to notice that your not home at the rite time. Go to 1
B: you go to your trunk and grab your flash light, and start walking down the road back the way you came. Go to 2
1: The hours start ticking away as you wait. Your car has grown incredibly hot and you are melting in side. The longer you wait and stare out the window, the more nevice you get. Its now 12. you keep telling your self that some one will come and you doze off. You suddenly wake up to a taping at your window. It is to dark to see what it is. You here the sound of crunching leaves behind you in the woods. You look in your rearview merrier but see no car lights. What do you do C or D
2: The moon is just bright enough to light up the road ahed. To your left there are strange dark woods. And to the right lies an open grey pasture. As you walk along your way you here a noise come from the woods. You turn around but nothing is there. You start walking again, this time a little bit faster. You here it again, and walk faster. You walk not but 10 feet when you here the sound of foot steps. What do you do: E or F
C: All of a sudden a Hand slams on your window. You start to scream. A strange laughing comes from out side. You grab your gun in the seat behind you. You see up ahead a house you did not notice before. what do you do: 3 or 4
D: You here a snarling and look out your side merrier. You see a dog like shadow pass behind your car. You see two more. You here a popping sound where your tire use to be. You have a gun in the seat behind you, and notice a house you did not notice before. What do you do.
5 or 6.
E: You start to run for your life, up ahead there is a barn. You sprint faster, faster than you ever had before. You don't here the footsteps any more but you keep running. You jump the fence and dash across the field. You get to the barn. It looks old and abandoned. You try to open the door but it is stuck. You notice a hole in the wood that you can just fit through. You jump in and are face up in and old rugged barn. What do you do 7 or 8.
F: You stop. Maybe it is just a animal, or someone looking for you. You turn around, and see car lights behind you, and a man. You look closer. It's you uncle Ben. You run to him and give him a big hug. He said " lets go home."
3: You jump out of the car and make a run for it. not looking back. you here your name being called but you just keep running. Strait on up to the house that you saw. You here foot steps coming after you and your name called again. what do you do G or H.
4: You start to shoot out of the window. You don't stop till it is silent again. Then you sit and wait. Some minuets later a cop car drives up. They get you out and bring you home, as you explain what happened. In the end you learned that you just killed two murderers.
5: You remember that wolves live here and wait. By morning time there gone, and the cops come up. You get home safely.
6: you freak out and jump out of the car sprinting for your life to the house. your here the howling of dogs behind you and you don't stop. You fire a few rounds and keep running till you make it to the house. What do you do I or J.
7: You look out a crack and see the road. You see nothing. Then a movement that comes from the woods. You see an old ladder and rafters. You clime up the lander that squeaks under you weight and clime carefully on to the rafters, just in time. You here foot steps out side of the door. Then it slams, as someone try's to break in but cant. You scooch back to the dark corner and hold your breath. You here the foot steps go around the barn. What do you do K or L
8: You pass out and awaken to a farmer looking at you. You tell him what happened, and he understands. He brings you home.
G: you turn around and see that its your dad calling after you. You feel relief after all the fright and go home.
H: you keep running all the way to the house. The door is locked. You head over to the back. It the same. You take a closer look, and notice it is abandoned. You notice the garage is open and you run inside. What happens 9 or 10
I: You break into the house, and run up the stair closing the door behind you. You look out the window next to the road. The wolves circle around the house. You do not sleep, and watch them till morning. They leave, yet you have not seen any cars come by. You wait and hope for the best.
J: You try to open the door but it locked. The dogs are coming faster and faster. They don't stop and seem to get faster. You seem to get slower, and all of a sudden you cant move. Your mind said to go but your stuck, and they don't stop. Now there snarling and only 10 feet away with there mouths wide open. You scream and wake up in you bead. It was only a bad dream.
K: You here them go away but your not shore. You stay in the barn till the morning. You walk out side, and see no one but the horses in the field. You head back to your car and see your mom standing out side with the cops. You run up and give her a big hug. All is well now.
L:Then a man breaks through. You stay in the corner praying that he doesn't look up and see you. He paces around the bottom of the barn. It seems like hours pass but it is only seconds. He looks up, but doesn't see you. Another voice comes from out side. "This way man." He runs out. You breath, that was close. You stay in your corner looking at the road. Not daring to move. You stay till the morning. When down the road you see the police. More than you wold think. They run out towards the barn. Then you see the two men from the night before run out. They are caught by the police. You then get out of your spot and talk to them.
9: There is an old car, with the key still in it. You jump in and turn it on. The engine works. You drive off as fast as possible. You go on home not stoping till you get there.
10: You go into the garage and hid. The footsteps pass by. There is a car in front of you. Its old and rusted. You open the door and lock it. There is no key. You crawl under the seat and hide. You here the footsteps again. This time the go into the garage. Someone grabs on the door but it does not open. You wait. You here the footsteps leave again. You stay till morning waiting for someone to come.
