Ever had that burning question you wanted to be answered without fear of judgement?

LOVE

How would you write a love poem? Does it need to rhyme?

When writing a love poem, compile a list of feelings or thoughts – think about why you’re writing the poem and who it’s for. Rhyming isn’t super important, but it’s not a bad idea to use it. Rhyme is when the sound of words (or the ends of words) are used to correspond with one another.

When it comes to the actual poetry, the way you write is determined by the message you are giving off. I’ve seen love poems in the shape of hearts, tears, leaves in the wind and the list goes on. It’s good to utilize a medium that will help get the message across. To write a love poem, it’s good to use comparisons like Shakespeare does in his 18th sonnet.

“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:”

You might decide to simply rhyme ‘love’ with ‘dove’ and then compare the person to the dove. You may also want to keep in mind the tone and pattern you hope to keep throughout the piece. This is called ‘rhyme scheme’. Rhyme scheme is when you use a pattern to help make the piece more creative.

There are many different forms of rhyming and poetry. Poetry is an excellent way to express heartfelt emotions and feelings. There are many different ways you may write a poem. Below is a link that has all the different forms of poetry. I also offer a link that further explains and shows a select few.

MONEY

What is APR? What’s a credit score?

APR is the annual percent rate. This is devised to help people figure out how much extra money they will be paying back on loans. It can easily be explained as a rate that’s charged for borrowing; it can also be made by investing. It’s used to help people understand what they are agreeing to pay back if they don’t pay things on time. It’s good to compare them although they are affected by your credit status.

Now when we talk about credit scores things get dicey; numerous things affect your score. Late bills, loans, contracted cellphone purchases the list goes on . Credit score is figured out by calculating many different pieces of credit data in your credit report. This data is grouped into five categories. Each category carries a different type of weight on your score. Payment history is 35% , new credit is 10%, the length of your history is 15%, the amount you owe is 30%, and the amount of other things that are mixed in is 10%. Here are some links that help go more into depth on this matter.
