FOUND POEM


My Love Story

I wanna kiss a girl,
and be the happiest man in the world.
So put your lips on mine,
because I love you.
I gave you my hand,
because you were everything to me.
So close your eyes,
and go with me,
somewhere we can be alone.
It's a love story.

Repetition of Sounds #2

“Sweet Thing” By: Keith Urban

When I picked you up for our first date baby
Well, your pretty blue eyes, they were drivin' me crazy
And the tiny little thought that was so amazing
Is they were lookin at me.

I held open the car door for you then you climbed
Inside and slid on over
To the other side... I thought my, oh my...

Sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young
Come on and meet me
In the backyard under the cottonwood tree
It's a good thing and I’m wishin
C'mon sweet thing
Won't you climb on out of your window
While the world is sleepin
Cause you know I need you
And there's no way I’ll be leavin
Til we're kissing on the porch swing
Oh my little sweet thing

Yeah I know I’m gonna see you first thing tomorrow
But I just couldn't wait so I had to borrow
Uncle Jake’s mustang, it’s his favorite car
And so i can't stay long...

Standin here feeling like a love struck Romeo
All I wanna do is hold you close and steal a little
More time, is that such a crime?

Sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young
Come on and meet me
In the backyard under the cottonwood tree
It's a good thing and I’m wishin
C'mon sweet thing
Won't you climb on out of your window
While the world is sleepin
Cause you know I need you
And there's no way I’ll be leavin
Til we're kissing on the porch swing
Oh my little sweet thing

Sweet thing, sweet thing..

Oh my sweet thing
The moon is high and the night is young
Come on and meet me
In the backyard under the cottonwood tree
It's a good thing and tell me I’m not dreamin
C'mon sweet thing
Won't you climb on out of your window
While the world is sleepin
Cause you know I need you
And there's no way I’ll be leavin
Til we're kissing on the porch swing
Oh my little sweet thing

Oh c’mon sweet thing, sweet thing, sweet thing...

Yeah, c’mon now a little now...
Do do do do doo do do do do do do
Oh my little sweet thing, yes you are
Do do do do doo do do do do do do

"Would You Go With Me" By: Josh Turner

Would you go with me if we rolled down streets of fire
Would you hold on to me tighter as the summer sun got higher
If we roll from town to town and never shut it down


Would you go with me if we were lost in fields of clover
Would we walk even closer until the trip was over
And would it be okay if I didn't know the way


If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Let me know if you're really a dream
I love you so, so would you go with me


[Instrumental]


Would you go with me if we rode the clouds together
Could you not look down forever
If you were lighter than a feather
Oh, and if I set you free, would you go with me


If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Help me tie up the ends of a dream
I gotta know, would you go with me
I love you so, so would you go with me

Analysis of Repetition #2

“Before He Cheats” by: Carrie Underwood

There is a use of Anaphora is shown throughout the song “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood. When she sings, “Right now, he's probably slow dancing with a bleach blonde tramp, and she's probably getting frisky. Right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink 'cause she can't shoot whiskey. Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool stick showing her how to shoot a combo” she uses this form of repetition to show her frustration. She also uses it in the second verse to prove the same point; her frustration with him. The repetition shows just how much the fact of his cheating makes her mad. The repetition therefore adds to or enhances the song and helps her prove her point.

Analysis of Repetition #1

“Last Name” by: Carrie Underwood

Throughout the first verse of the song “Last Name” by Carrie Underwood the use of Anaphora is found. She says, “Last night I got served a little bit too much of that poison baby. Last night I did things I'm not proud of and I got a little crazy. Last night I met a guy on the dance floor and I let him call me baby.” She uses this type of repetition to get the point across that she was at a bar “last night” and she was not in the clearest state of mind. This enhances the song by making the listener understand that she was there “last night”.

Repetition #2

"Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood

Right now,
He's probably slow dancing with a bleach blonde tramp
And she's probably getting frisky
Right now,
He's probably buying her some fruity little drink
'Cause she can't shoot whiskey
Right now,
He's probably up behind her with a pool stick showing
Her how to shoot a combo
And he don't know...

I dug my key into the side of his pretty
little suped up four wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
Took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

Right now,
She's probably up singing some white
trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now,
She's probably saying I'm drunk
and he's thinking that he's gonna get lucky
Right now,
He's probably dabbing on three dollars
worth of that bathroom polo
Oh, and he don't know...

That I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little suped up four wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
Took a Louisville slugger to both head
lightsSlashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl
'Cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won’t be on me
No, not on me

Oh maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Oh before he cheats
Oh...

'Cause I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little suped up four wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
Took a Louisville slugger to both head
lightsSlashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

"Last Name" by Carrie Underwood

Last night I got served a little bit too much of that poison baby
Last night I did things I'm not proud of
And I got a little crazy
Last night I met a guy on the dance floor
And I let him call me baby

And I don't even know his last name
Oh, my mama would be so ashamed
It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"
And then it turned in,
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name

We left the club right around three o'clock in the morning
His Pinto sitting there in the parking lot Well it should have been a warning
I had no clue what I was getting into
So I blame it on the Cuervo
Oh where did my manners go?

And I don't even know his last name
Oh, my mama would be so ashamed
It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"
And then it turned in,
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name
Here we go...

Today I woke up thinkin' about Elvis somewhere in Vegas
I'm not sure how I got here
Or how this ring on my left hand just appeared out of nowhere
I gotta go
I take the chips and the Pinto and hit the road
They say what happens here stays here
All of this will disappear
There's just one little problem...

I don't even know my last name
Oh my mama would be so ashamed
It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"
And then it turned in,
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name

What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
Oh, what have I done
I don't even know my last name

It turned into
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last

It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"
And then it turned into
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name

my last name

Metaphor #2 Analysis


Within the song “Your Everything” by Keith Urban there are many examples of metaphors throughout the text. Most of the metaphors are shown in the chorus when he says “I wanna be the wind that fills your sails & be the hand that lifts your veil be the moon that moves your tide the sun comin up in your eyes be the wheel that never rusts be the spark that lights you up all that you've been dreaming of & more so much more I wanna be your everything”. These examples of metaphors are used to tell the woman that he wants to be her everything. He uses these illustrations to tell her of his love for her and that he would do anything or be anything for her affection. The chorus in this song is a perfect sample of many different metaphors.

Metaphor #1 Analysis


Throughout the song "Inside Your Heaven" by Carrie Underwood she talks about how she wants to be just that, she wants to be inside his heaven. In saying "I wanna be inside your heaven" she is using a metaphor to tell him that she wants to be apart of his world. She also says "All my dreams are in your eyes" to say that everything that she has dreamed of is with him. She is using this metaphor to tell him that he is everything she dreamed and more. Another example of a metaphor is when she says "Every time I see you I'm alive". This statement means that whenever she is around him she has something worth living for and therefore she becomes alive! These are some examples of metaphors throughout this song.
