I need your words..... For a English literature college class extra credit project.

FIRST General Forum
1

Ok, well I have an assignmnent that I would like to do that involves writing a poem.

Yeah, me a great poetry writer. :rolleyes:

Anyways, I need some FIRST terminolgy that I can incorporate into the poem(s) somehow. I just need the words, I’ll write it myself, so no writing for me, or I’ll get tempted to hand in a printout from CD in as my own work… lol

So, please give me some concrete FIRST terminology to use in my poems.

I thought of some to use, like ummm… robot? and umm… robots?
Yeah, those are good…

Give me some more ideas please. One word terminolgy works better for me in this instance than whole sentences or big technical terms…
I get confused with big words… :rolleyes:

edit: By the way, I was thinking about doing a cool “looking” poem, and need FIRST related words that begin with the letters F, I, R, S, & T for that particular one.

But, all terminology will be accepted, and maybe used.

Hehe, … here’s a haiku I actually turned in for a somewhat major english grade (there were others there too, though, … so don’t worry about my grade).

Sundry Verses II

A light breeze reflects
its metallic strength,

Aluminum beauty
of welded delight.

Speed controllers
And electric motors
Powerful microcontroller.

Controlled by my hand
The monster rampages.
Lines of C syntax compute.

Edit: in consideration for your plea for words and not whole (confusing) phrases, I’ve bolded the words in the poem that might be appropriate. As a programmer, it is concentrated a bit toward the technical/electronic end of the spectrum …
