Seasons of Love (From Rent by Jonathan Larson)
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure--measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?
How about love?
Measure in love.
Seasons of love.
Here is my attempt at a conversions in math poem:
Daytime Conversions
Eighty-six thousand four-hundred seconds,
Eighty-six thousand four-hundred seconds tick away.
Eighty-six thousand four-hundred seconds
How do you measure your life in a day?
In instants, in heartbeats, in flashes or ticks.
In minutes, in jiffies, in cappuccino sips.
Eighty-six thousand four-hundred seconds,
Eighty-six thousand four-hundred seconds tick away.
Nice job! I loved your poem--especially the cappuccino sips!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Super job. I also like the cappuccino sips. I wonder if our sons would measure it in strikes, balls, hits. :)
ReplyDeleteHello! First of all, I love this song!! Second, I think that's a great idea to use it as a mentor text! Third, I hope it's ok if I add you on my blog roll! I want to add all the slicers from the SOL challenge! :) --jee young
