Prose Poem I Wrote For A Homework

CarpsButtonFan's Photo CarpsButtonFan 29 Aug 2007

Well, my literature teacher told us to write a prose poem..and well a night before I started to think what I shoukld write about and this came to my head (english and spanish version). My folks at school liked it...if you like it...good and if you do not like it...I'm the worst writer around the world laugh.gif. Ok, here I go:

English

During the time you stayed with us you were very beloved; not only for the ones who had the luck of surrounded you, but for those anonym people that day to day supported you and perhaps you did not realized it.
There was never someone like you. You were the one who moved many people’s life and even though time has gone by you’re still there. How? Through the legacy you left us, for that reason once is enough for falling in love with your voice.
However, we’ll never understand how someone with a sweet sweet smile like yours, who was able to resuscitate a moribund or that angel look, could think any time that she was not beautiful.
Karen, you live in the hearts of the fans that love your music, nobody can be compared with you. You were unique and you’ll keep being the only one. The affection we feel for you won’t finish at no time.
Karen, I just wish to had been born before in order to meet you, see you, heard you, nevertheless , I still have the hope of looking at you as an angel more singing for the best chorus that has existed: “The Celestial Chorus”.

Spanish

Durante el tiempo que estuviste con nosotros fuiste muy querida; no sólo por los que tuvieron la oportunidad de rodearte, sino por aquellas personas anónimas las cuales día a día te apoyaban sin que tú te dieras cuenta.
Nunca hubo alguien como tú. Eras la que movía la vida de la gente y a pesar del tiempo sigues ahí presente. ¿Cómo? A través del legado que nos dejaste, es por eso que sólo basta con oírte una vez para enamorarse de tu voz.
Sin embargo, jamás entenderemos como alguien con una dulce, dulce sonrisa, capaz de resucitar a un moribundo con una mirada de ángel que aún cautiva pudo alguna vez pensar que no era linda.
Karen, tú vives en los corazones de los fanáticos que admiran tu música, nadie podrá compararse contigo. Fuiste única y lo seguirás siendo. El cariño que por tí sentimos no acabará jamás.
Karen Anne Carpenter, sólo quisiera haber nacido antes para poder conocerte, verte, escucharte, no obstante aún no pierdo la esperanza de mirarte como un ángel más cantando en el mejor coro existente: “El coro celestial”

There's a competition of poems and the teacher wants to see who are good writing poems in the class. Everyone says I'm a good writer and that I should be chosen...but...to be honest...I do not want to....I'm only beginning...
