Question: English majors/ Poetry people!?

English majors/ Poetry people!?

Is there any way to get rid of the automatic capitalization on Microsoft Word when writing poetry?! I've been counted off before for it and didn't even realize the program was doing that. Is there any way to go in and change the settings? It's such a headache, lol. Thanks in advance, much appreciated!

Question: True or not true?

Time builds friendships. At the start one mis step can ruin it. Over the years when each person has had multiple opportunities to be there and support the other when it is needed the friendship grows and becomes more secure. In time there is like a savings account of good will built up so even if one friend falters a bit the other still believes that deep down their friend is still there and has faith.

Question: What do you think of my poem¿????

NEEDS

Some feel they need a partner just to get through life
And they will kill to have a friend, a husband or wife.
I thought the same-- but when I think about it twice
I'm all the company I need if I have Jesus Christ.
Some plan their future out in the greatest detail.
But don't plan for abandonment and deeper betrayals
When terrain is rough you end up alone on the trail
At these times I feel happy that my God doesn't fail
I placed my joy in a jar and sealed it tightly shut.
Then it floated above to a place no man can touch. 
No matter who goes or comes it never gets me down. 
Build treasures in heaven, not on top of shaky ground.

Question: "Bright Star" by John Keats help?

Posted: 15 Aug 2014 01:08 PM PDT

The phrase is "BY accident," not "ON accident." And yes, of course Keats intended for there to be a similarity. Everything in a poem by a good poet is there on purpose; NOTHING is there by accident. Real poets don't just blat out random words "from the heart" onto a piece of paper; they MAKE a poem very carefully. So you're right, the similarity is significant.

Now that we've dispelled all doubt about that, you can start figuring out what that significance is.

Question: Any hyperbolas in the poem "Making a Fist" by Naomi Nye?

I couldn't find any. What looks like maybe hyperbolas are really metaphors and connotations. Hyperbolas are very exaggerated, and none of the phrases are like that.
