12 Signs that You And Your Partner Are Star-Crossed Lovers

 

For comical purposes

“Don't waste your love on somebody, who doesn't value it.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet    

Your parents can't stand your partner.

You guys have different zodiac signs (ha ha!).

Different hobbies, say you're a ballerina and he's a street dancer. Vice versa.

If you're human and your partner is a vampire, or some other beast that only needs love to transform back into a human, or something human-like.

Something negative and completely out of your control happens every time you guys meet. For example, people you know and those you don't know break out fighting around you two. Also heavy rains, etc.

Both of your families can't stand each other.

One of your friends falls in love with your partner, then chaos and a possible love triangle ensues, making it harder to decide who should be with who.

You guys don't see each other often because your schedules never really permit it.

You're rich, she's poor. Vice versa.

Your job feels more important than your partner's.

Society looks at your relationship with shock, because it's not 'traditional.'

You have skeletons in your closet and secrets that threaten to tear the relationship apart.

If you've checked at least 7 of these, you guys might be star-crossed lovers, but if you work at it you could still make it work.

A song from me to you-My Propaganda Song (Chiraq remix)

 

This is a song I did, hope you enjoy. More to come in music and poems. 

 

My music name is Logics.

Getting a Little Fancy: Fancy Tip

 

 

What's more fancy than French?

They do begin with the same letter.

I don't know much of the language, but I do know something neat about the culture: a piece of their poetry..

Rondelet.

Rondelet means round, and its a quaint poem that I think could be bragged about if people know how to do it right.

I'm going to show you one of my rondelets so you can get an idea of how to do it, which I will explain in more detail a bit later.

 

Here is my Rondelet:

 

She lacks in grace

As she dabs along misty eyes

She lacks in grace

Make-up and laces lost her face

Relied on Television lies

Plastic mask one of the first buys

She lacks in grace

The Rondelet has seven lines altogether. The repeating lines, 'She lacks in grace' are called refrains. The refrain is a constant thought throughout the poem that hits the point home and ties all the information together in the other lines. The refrains are 4 syllables and repeat three times in the poem, in the first line, third line, and the last line, which is the seventh line.

  

All the other, non-repeating lines, are 8 syllables long.

You have to follow the rhyme scheme for it to be authentic though. Just look at the rhymes (purple and blue-colored) at the end of each line, and see if you can find the pattern. Enjoy!

 

 

Rondelet Rules Shown:

 

She (1 syllable) lacks (1) in (1) grace (1)= 4 syllables

Nikki's Anaconda and Butt Obsession Salute

Songs can be poetry too. Why wouldn't they be? They both share verse, rhymes, some clever word play, and they make the ordinary, as a most beloved teacher once told me, into something extraordinary, funny and insightful.

Also, a song is just a poem accompanied by music.

Because there are so many topics people can discuss daily, its great when a poet/artist can approach a new idea or maybe something old, and make it unique and relatable to us. They end up putting their own creative spin on it, adding new insight and perspective. For example, there are many poems that talk about the beauty of tall, 'wise' trees. Wise is just another word for old when it comes to a tree, but it also means that the tree has been around so many years and seen so many things, that its historical and beautiful in its old and steady strength.

But I'm here to say that Nikki Minaj's song Anaconda, is a question mark to me.

It makes me scratch my head and shake it, because the song is another level of vanity.

It's a song literally dedicated to her butt.

Can anyone truly relate to this?

Or be inspired by this?

It could've been an empowering message for women to accept who they are and their bodies, if it weren't for this very exclusive line.....

'Yeah, he love this fat ass, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yeah! This one is for my b****es with a fat ass in the f**king club
I said, where my fat ass big b****es in the club?
F**k the skinny b****es! f**k the skinny b****es in the club!'

Also, I thought poetry and song was supposed to spiritually lift you. I don't see that happening with this one. If anything, I think it might make someone self-conscious, especially if they don't have big butts....

'My anaconda don't want none
Unless you got buns, hun'
