Presentation of lesson "Let It Go" by Demi Lovato Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn my back and slam the door
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, Not a footprint to be seen. A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen. The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside. Couldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I tried.
Don't let them in, don't let them see, Be the good girl you always had to be. Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know. Well, now they know.
Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn my back and slam the door And here I stand and here I'll stay Let it go, let it go The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all. Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe. I know I left a life behind but I'm too relieved to grieve. (repeat chorus)
Standing frozen In the life I've chosen. You won't find me. The past is all behind me Buried in the snow.
Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn my back and slam the door And here I stand, and here I'll stay Let it go, let it go The cold never bothered me anyway .

Third Poetic Device used. Repetition What is repetition? Repetition of a sound, syllable, word, phrase, line, stanza, or metrical pattern is a basic unifying device in all poetry. It may reinforce, supplement, or even substitute for meter, the other chief controlling factor in the arrangement of words into poetry.

A Walk In Nature By: Francis Duggan A walk in Nature never boring in Nature great beauty to see The wild birds are chirping and singing on fence wire and bush and on tree Away from the street and the traffic from human made pollution and noise Above the gray scrub by the river the skylark he sings as he flies.
The poets have been inspired by Nature and of her great beauty they sing The swallows return to their Homeplace when they sense the coming of Spring And the artists they paint Nature's beauty the woodlands in their Autumn brown And one can see the beauty of Nature even in the park of your town.
My stay on this Planet a brief stay but Mother Nature will live on And the birds will be heard in the woodlands when I am forgotten and gone Our lives they are not that important for our lives they are numbered in hours But Mother Nature is forever and she outlives her beautiful flowers.
A walk in Nature never boring though she hides her secrets from me Her birds always chirping and singing on hedge and on bush and on tree My stay on this Planet a brief stay our average span ten years with three score But Mother Nature is not for the reaper and she will live forever more.
