Don't Like Poetry? Betcha Do

...don't forget all those Valentine's rhymes!

You say you don't like poetry--I doubt that. We just have to establish what we mean by poetry.

Yes, you enjoyed a movie that is all poetry.

That come-on line is nothing but poetry.

Romeo + Juliet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_%2B_Juliet

The Cat in the Hat--even my name is poetry.

You can't say you never liked Dr. Seuss--what's that--you forgot it was poetry?

The Cat in the Hat

http://www.seussville.com/books/book_detail.php?isbn=9780394800011

Betting you have quoted poetry, though maybe not all at once.

Tis better to have loved and lost/Than never to have loved at all Tennyson To err is human; to forgive, divine Alexander Pope A thing of beauty is a joy forever Keats And miles to go before I sleep Robert Frost Hope springs eternal in the human breast Alexander Pope To be or not to be: that is the question Shakespeare I know why the caged bird sings Maya Angelou O Romeo, Romeo; wherefore art thou Romeo Shakespeare...there's no joy in Mudville, the mighty Casey has struck out. Thayer

You probably chuckled at the Limerick about the girl from Venus, but I won't print that since this is a family edublog. But this poem might make you smile, especially noting the poet.

The marriage of poor Kim Kardashian
Was krushed like a kar in a krashian.
Her Kris kried, "Not fair!
Why kan't I keep my share?"
But Kardashian fell klean outa fashian.
—Salman Rushdie

Maybe you didn't realize you were accessing poetry during spiritual moments. The Psalms are poems, like the most quoted Psalm 23.

Lena Moore Psalm 23 Quilt ca. 1930 Collection of Janet M. Green "Talking Quilts" American Folk Art Museum

Remember when you were in ninth grade and you kind of liked that wild story with the Greek guy and all the monsters like the Cyclops and the crazy-haired Medusa?

That was poetry, thanks to Homer, not Simpson. The Odyssey by Homer.

Cyclops AKA Claymation

Achilles AKA Brad Pitt.

And don't forget Achilles, not the heel. The Illiad (and the story of Troy) was a poem, too.

Speaking of Homer Simpson, here is my last evidentiary item. You enjoyed "The Raven: the Simpson's Version." I know you did. Though they did a really Poe job of it. (Ha, English major joke.)

Movie Review: Films About Jesus

Jesus is honored among all major religions as a teacher, ethicist, prophet, or mystic. This is the season of Lent, a time of reflection and repentance for those who believe in the orthodox principles of Christianity, in the deity of Jesus, commemorating His passion and resurrection. There are also many groups of Christians and others who may not agree on all the details of this faith, and their kids might be in your classes. It takes a delicate touch to provide respect for all kids' beliefs during discussions of major religions.

We respect the rights of all people to have beliefs. We respect the rights of all students to safely hold their beliefs without harassment in public schools. I am not recommending showing films about Jesus or not showing them in your class; that is a decision for your school.
But beginning in Middle School, at least in the State of California, there are many passages from the Bible, and the New Testament in particular, that are considered worthy of literary consideration and historical value. The Book of Job, the Psalms, the Sermon on the Mount, parables. The King James version, which has celebrated its 500th birthday, is considered a masterpiece itself. It is said Shakespeare made a contribution to it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorized_King_James_Version

Actor Diogo Morgado playing Jesus in 'The Son of God.'

Last year the History Channel showed the mini series 'The Bible,' created by a team of mostly Roman Catholics. It had great ratings. A segment of the series has been edited for theater release, 'The Son of God.' Lots of folks going to see it. Some critics say the lead actor, who is from Portugal, has created a 'surfer Jesus' because of his breezy hair and athletic build. I do expect Jesus looked a great deal more semitic and not European at all,
but the creative team of 'The Son of God' got the sense of kindness and power effectively.

This is a pretty good time of year to show portions of the Jesus story if you're going to. The History Channel, liberal bastion of cable TV, has shown the television film of "Jesus of Nazareth" in entirety for years- Jesus being a central person of historical interest. That's why this is the year 2014.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Job http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sermon_on_the_Mount http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parables_of_Jesus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalms

Mary, the mother of Jesus in "The Passion of the Christ."

Jesus, although He was Jewish, is usually portrayed with a British accent, except for "The Passion of the Christ," which was in Aramaic (the Hebrew spoken at the time of Jesus) with subtitles. That's a pretty amazing idea and accomplishment, if you can find it in you heart to forgive Mel Gibson for being a flawed human and all after he produced that remarkable movie. The production has accuracy in costuming, music, and portrays basic Catholic theology, except possibly about Pontius Pilate, the Roman who deserved no sympathy for his decision.

"The Passion of the Christ" 2004

"The Passion of the Christ," is bone crushing in the accuracy of suffering. The perspective of Mary the mother of Jesus is unique in this movie version, and serves to present why many Christians have a special devotion to her. What age of child should see this? I can't say, but it is very intense, particularly when Mary flashes back to Jesus falling as a little boy as He carries the cross. Use your own judgement.

"The Kings of Kings" 1961

"The Greatest Story Ever Told" 1965

Several Bible-themed movies came out in the sixties with blue-eyed Jesus actors quoting the King James Bible. Jeffrey Hunter was in the "Kings of Kings," a remake from the Cecil B. DeMille's 1927 version.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Kings_%281961_film%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Greatest_Story_Ever_Told
Max von Sydow played Jesus in 1965 in "The Greatest Story Ever Told." The films are sympathetically presented, especially toward poor little misunderstood Judas, who is frequently the most interesting character. These films have a respectful mood if not accuracy, and for the viewer who is looking to connect with the words of Jesus quoted in the Bible, these films are very effective. Children who are familiar with the story should be okay with the crucifixion scenes which are not too graphic, but they do have to be prepared.

As children watch a film about Jesus, it is very intense. Jesus is a lovable and sympathetic character whether He is considered in a religious sense or not. Kids really have to be prepared for the story to transpire. I was invited by a friend to a theater full of viewers from her Baptist church to see "The Passion of the Christ." All adults, all in tears (both men and women) by the end. It is just a really tough and sad story for both believer and non-believer.

"Jesus of Nazareth" miniseries 1977

My preferred film about Jesus to view with children is the television miniseries, "Jesus of Nazareth." (1977). It is frequently on television at the Christmas and Easter seasons, and available on Netflix. Visually, there are lots of references to famous works of art, and the music is sort of mysterioso in a supernatural sense that a good something, maybe a miracle, is going to happen; that something supernatural isn't always sinister. Jesus is compassionate, powerful and somehow one-of-the-guys while being divine. Peter is great with his bumbling, yet strong and sincere personality. Mary was a little young being portrayed by Olivia Hussey. Judas was indecisive until he was creepy and betrayed his best friend. I personally don't think Judas was sorry after he did that. Laurence Olivier portrayed Nicodemus.

Nicodemus (Laurence Olivier) quoting Isaiah 53 as Jesus is on the cross.

Being a miniseries, the important parts of the story are portrayed because there is time for them. The Sermon on the Mount is well worth sharing with kids, particularly since important modern leaders such as Ghandi and Martin Luther King reference this, and other portions of Jesus' statements. One of my very favorite scenes from any film is this portrayal of Jesus giving a parable (which are also part of the standards for literature.) Peter and Matthew the tax collector also have a moment.

Jesus hangin' with His homies, for which He was criticized severely.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+53&version=NKJV

Here is the Prodigal Son, put up on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgODzUMscZ8

The person who put up this video also included a little music, not from the film.

Here is another film used to educate those who have no idea at all who Christians believe Jesus to be. It has been shown to millions of people around the world as an evangelistic tool.

I would like to share a song that I still find marvelous. This was written during the Jesus Movement of the early 1970s and presents the case for Christianity at its most basic and radical. Which pretty much describes the Jesus Movement, and how Jesus happened in my life then, too. Enjoy.

Phenomenal Woman: Maya Angelou by Stacy West Machine applique, quilting; hand beading.

Phenomenal Woman

Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1441644043303616609#editor/target=post;postID=1879245649137007635;onPublishedMenu=posts;onClosedMenu=posts;postNum=107;src=link
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Women's History Month: Rosie the Riveter


"We Can Do It!" by J. Howard Miller

Who knows where the misinformation began that women were not intelligent, capable or resilient started from? It has always mystified me anyone would think that; I was raised by bright, hardworking women and taught by brilliant Catholic nuns, so you can understand my confusion.

The image of Rose the Riveter is just the girl next door to most of us, though the poster was designed during World War II to validate women joining the workplace as young men joined the war. My mom, aunt, and grandmother worked as telephone operators rather than in factories, but that was still rather progressive. My father's sister, Aunt Maxine, joined the WAVES, as he joined the Navy.

Rosie even had music. This includes shots of the assembly lines and aircraft.

To be fair we should recall all the ladies who worked in factories during the Industrial Revolution, the girls and women who pioneered the West, all the females who chose to immigrate to our great country and endured various ship rides to create homesteads, farms, communities and cities; the relentless mothers, sisters, daughters and wives who continue to love, work, struggle to care for families and loved ones in roles at home and in military service.
