My favourite Poem( e learning)

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

1) Figurative language is not used in this poem. The poet did not describe the the things, but rather illustrate it from what he saw.
2) I like this poem as the poet writes very well about his walk on a street. He illustrated the whole event extremely well and elaborated well enough to let everyone get the idea of what he saw and what he did. I like illustrating more than figurative language as I like to imagine what things like from writings and something like that. I feel that the poet was being extremely careful as he writes about such a small thing that no one will take notice of. That is very unique. Shel Silverstein have always been one of my favourite poets because of his strong description about things. I hope that my poems can be at least half as good as Shel's.

Television show review

Top Gear is a show that everyone that knows what is a Bugatti Veyron knows. Even if they don't they should know what is The Stig or Jeremy Clarkson. I know this isn't going to be perfect, but I am reviewing this excellent and hilarious show.
First of all, the presenters: Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig. A pretty good lineup, I must say. A typical Top gear show would be segments of challenges, cool walls, car reviews, news and stars driving reasonably priced cars. Occasionally, there would be a special episode, when the whole thing is made up of one big chunk of challenge. When I mean reviews and news, I didn't mean anything like the normal ones at all. In the reviews, it is basically one of the presenters driving a car, usually a supercar round the test track and the Stig will set a time in it. The news is basically the three presenters defaming cars like Morris Marina.
The challenges are the best part of the show. The challenges are almost all the time extremely hard to attempt. Past challenges included "Buy a car for $100" and "Make an Avantine go faster then a Evo 8". In most of the challenges, Jeremy Clarkson will either have the best or the worst car and made the stupidest decisions. It is his shrewdness that made him winner for several times. The usual flow of a cheap car challenge is: Speed test by the stig, Reliability test, Fuel Economy and a unique test.
What is one of the hilarious thing about Top Gear is that all three of the presenters hate Morris Marina, a British car. They even dropped pianos on two Morris Marinas in seperate occasions.
As you have read, I give a very high credit to Top Gear's hilarious style. If you have nothing to do on Wednesday nights, tune in to BBC Knowledge and watch it. Trust me, you will be addicted to it.
