I Wish I Could I wish I could turn back the clock to vanish regrets of my wrong decisions from my heart and memories. Those regrets not only made me mentally weak but also depress me. Elders are real profit and their advices are the best way to success. My ego made me blind and ruled the brain and that was the point where I fall and still regret. I wish I could go back to correct my mistakes and to be a man I used to be‚ full of confidence‚ cheered and eager for success. There is saying that if you

The Theme of Death in Poems Death is a common theme in many poems. It is viewed so differently to everyone.

If I could vote‚ I would vote for Barack Obama. I like his views on mostly all the political topics. I think that he has tried so hard to make our country a better place for everyone living here.

Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “Alone” is the real reflection of how his life had been. The poem is about how Poe led a life much different from those of the same age around him; and how he could never fit in.

Regular‚ ordinary‚ seemingly insignificant; I want to be part of your routine. I could be the alarm clock

Simplicity and brevity is always beautiful. I like how he used the word apparition. Given that he’s in a transport station‚ faces appear and disappear from your sight as they hurry around. I think it’s the perfect word to use. Fun fact: In the poem‚ Pound describes a moment in the underground metro station in Paris
