The song name compilation that i made to fit poem format is called " "The True Beast".
"The True beast". this poem is about a sleeping beast, that is feared. one day it awoke and reaked all havoc on the town at the base of the mountain it resides in. With this beast destroying almost everything, the only thing left was for the survivors to pray. Soon their lives were extinguished with great ease at the hand of this demonic presence. When all is said and done, the beast goes back to sleep not to wake again till the next feeding....

Love love love.... what is the stuff really? Isnt it just chemical reactions in our brains and sex organs? Whats the damn hype?I personally have fallen in "love" twice. It was great untill the arguing and bickering began. then what? You break up. Breakups suck. Its all pain and bullshit. In my opinion, i have been much more happy and less stressful sence i have gotten out and over my last love. Being single has been the best thing for me. Its not the relationship part thats bad, its the "what if it doesnt work " factor.

under the banyan tree
Under the Banyan Tree and Other Stories is a collection of short stories by R. K. Narayan, set in and around the fictitious town of Malgudi in South India. The stories range from the humorous to the serious and all are filled with Narayan's acute observations of human nature. The concluding story, Under the Banyan Tree, is about a village story-teller who concludes his career by taking a vow of silence for the rest of his life, realizing that a story-teller must have the sense to know when to stop and not wait for others to tell him.

A banyan is a fig that starts its life as an epiphyte when its seeds germinate in the cracks and crevices on a host tree (or on structures like buildings and bridges). "Banyan" often refers specifically to the species Ficus benghalensis, though the term has been generalized to include all figs that share a unique life cycle, and systematically to refer to the subgenus Urostigma.[1] The seeds of banyans are dispersed by fruit-eating birds. The seeds germinate and send down roots towards the ground, and may envelop part of the host tree or building structure with their roots, giving them the casual name of "strangler fig." The "strangling" growth habit is found in a number of tropical forest species, particularly of the genus Ficus, that compete for light.[2][3][4] Any Ficus species showing this habit may be termed a strangler fig.
Older banyan trees are characterized by their aerial prop roots which grow into thick woody trunks which, with age, can become indistinguishable from the main trunk. Old trees can spread out laterally using these prop roots to cover a wide area. The largest such tree is now found in Kolkata in India. One of the most famous of banyan trees was planted on the island of Kabirvad in Gujarat. Records show that the Kabirvad tree is more than 300 years old. Another famous banyan tree was planted in 1873 in Lahaina's Courthouse Square in Hawai'i, and has now grown to cover two-thirds of an acre.
Like other Fig species (which includes the common edible fig Ficus carica), banyans have unique fruit structures and are dependent on fig wasps for reproduction. A variety of the Banyan known as Indian Banyan or Ficus bengalensis is the National tree of India.[5]

from what i have read from other blogs and from research, the banyan tree is a tree thats roots grow into the gound, then back upwards, creating more limbs that are all "jut" out of the ground. in my opinion its the perfect tree to make a treehouse. this special tree is native to india, and many magic lore surround this amazing example of flore.

john updike
John Hoyer Updike was a writer from Reading ,PN(March 18, 1932 – January 27, 2009).
he became well known for his rabbit series (the novels Rabbit, run; Rabbit Redux; Rabbit Is Rich; Rabbit At Rest; and the novella "Rabbit Remembered") wich he awarded the Pulitzer prize. JOhn regularly wrote for the New York Review of Books, and a few of his poems appeared in the New Yorker. later on in life, john moved with his family to Ipswich, Massachusetts.
In 1971, Updike published a sequel to Rabbit, Run called Rabbit Redux, his response to the 1960s; Rabbit reflected much of Updike's confusion and ambivalence towards the social and political changes that beset the United States during that time.[16] In 1980 he published another novel featuring that character, Rabbit Is Rich, which won the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, all the three major American literary prizes. The novel found "Rabbit the fat and happy owner of a Toyota dealership."[10] Updike found it difficult to end the book, because he was "having so much fun" in the imaginary county Rabbit and his family inhabited.[16] In 1990, he published the last Rabbit novel, Rabbit At Rest, in which his main character died. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Over 500 pages long, the novel is among Updike's most celebrated. In 2000, Updike included the novella "Rabbit Remembered" in his collection Licks of Love, drawing a final close to the Rabbit saga. His Pulitzers for the two final Rabbit novels makes him one of only three writers to have won two Pulitzer Prizes for Fiction, the other two being William Faulkner and Booth Tarkington.
In 1995, Everyman's Library collected and canonized the four novels as the omnibus Rabbit Angstrom, for which Updike wrote an introduction in which he described Rabbit as "a ticket to the America all around me. What I saw through Rabbit's eyes was more worth telling than what I saw through my own, though the difference was often slight."[17] Updike later called Rabbit "a brother to me, and a good friend. He opened me up as a writer."[18]
Updike's early Olinger period was set in the Pennsylvania of his youth; it ended around 1965 with the lyrical Of the Farm. Updike then became most famous as a "chronicler of suburban adultery."[19] He once wrote that it was "a subject which, if I have not exhausted, has exhausted me." The most prominent of Updike's novels of this vein is Couples (1968), a novel about adultery in a small fictional Massachusetts town called Tarbox. It garnered Updike an appearance on the cover of Time magazine with the headline "The Adulterous Society."
The Maple short stories, collected in Too Far To Go (1979), reflected the ebb and flow of Updike's first marriage; "Separating" (1974) and "Here Come the Maples" (1976) related to Updike's divorce. Those stories were the basis for the television movie also called Too Far To Go which was broadcast by NBC. Two other novels from this period, A Month of Sundays (1975), the first in Updike's so-called Scarlet Letter trilogy, and Marry Me: A Romance (1976), are also meditations on suburban adultery.[10]
