I think that Poetry goes beyond being the outcome from the application of some words in a format you learnt while at school.
Poetry is that lightness we feel when we’re happy that just erupts from us uncontrollably. It is that brooding darkness that we sink in when we are sad that holds us…
Tywin Lannister is a badass bitch.
[Tyrion’s] grin turned into something softer as he studied her face. “Is it grief for your lord father that makes you so sad?”
“My father was a traitor,” Sansa said at once. “And my brother and lady mother are traitors as well.” That reflex she had learned quickly. “I am loyal to my beloved Joffrey.”
“No doubt. As loyal as a deer surrounded by wolves.”
“Lions,” she whispered, without thinking. She glanced about nervously, but there was no one close enough to hear.
Lannister reached out and took her hand, and gave it a squeeze. “I am only a little lion, child, and I vow, I shall not savage you.”

If your child listens to classical music:
| The Haydn Effect: | Child is witty and quick on his feet, quite often bringing a grin to the faces of those around him. Despite this he exhibits remarkable humility. |
| The Bach Effect: | Child memorizes Scripture and says his prayers every day; may overwhelm listeners with his speech. |
| The Handel Effect: | Much like the Bach Effect; in addition, the child may exhibit dramatic behavior. |
| The Beethoven Effect: | Child develops a superiority complex and is prone to violent tantrums; is a perfectionist. |
| The Liszt Effect: | Child speaks rapidly and extravagantly, but never really says anything important |
| The Bruckner Effect: | Child speaks very slowly and repeats himself frequently. Gains a reputation for profundity. |
| The Grieg Effect: | This child is quirky yet cheery. May be prone toward Norwegian folklore. |
| The Wagner Effect: | Child becomes a megalomaniac. Speaks for six hours at a stretch. |
| The Schoenberg Effect: | Child never repeats a word until he has used all the other words in his vocabulary. Sometimes talk backwards or upside-down. Eventually people stop listening to him. Child blames them for their inability to understand him. |
| The Ives Effect: | Child develops a remarkable ability to carry on several separate conversations at once. |
| The Stravinsky Effect: | Child is prone to savage, guttural and profane outbursts that lead to fighting and pandemonium in preschool. |
| The Shostakovich Effect: | Child only expresses themselves in parent-approved ways. |
| The Cage Effect: | Childs says exactly nothing for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. Preferred by 9 out of 10 classroom teachers. |
| The Glass Effect: | Child repeats one word over, and over, and over, and over.... |

NIN = BEST WORKOUT MUSIC.
My thoughts on women in film. Started paying attention to this for the past few years and found most female characters fall into one of these categories. Thank goodness not all of them do.
