To get a better sense of what you can do in a shape poem, you may want to read several examples of the form, such as: "O sweet spontaneous earth" by e.e. cummings. "Vision and Prayer" by Dylan Thomas. "Concrete Cat" by Dorthi Charles. "Butterfly" by David Schondelmeyer. Review the examples and think about how the author uses the form of the shape poem. Consider several questions, including: How does the author use the shape of the poem to heighten the meaning of the poem? How does the text and the shape interact in the poem? For example, Charles' "Concrete Cat" uses the text to form the shape of a cat, with each word forming it's shape on the cat's body. "Whisker" forms a whisker on the cat, "eye" forms an eye. This creates an interesting visual representation for the reader. How do the line breaks in the poem, created by the shape, add meaning and detail? For example, in Schondelmeyer's "Butterfly", the shape of the butterfly limits the number of words Schondelmeyer can use in the poem. But the shape also allows Schondelmeyer to create mirroring text and text that connects the two sides, or "wings" of the poem. To get inspiration for your shape poem, you may choose to focus on an activity you enjoy, like playing tennis or reading books. Or you may focus on a hobby, like woodworking or singing. You could then use this subject as the inspiration for your poem. Another area of inspiration could be the natural world. You may have a favorite tree in your backyard or a flower bush you like in your neighborhood park. You may be inspired by nature on a larger scale, such as a famous waterfall in your area or a river that runs through your city. Get specific and choose one aspect of nature or the natural world as the subject of your poem. You may also be inspired by a particular animal in the natural world, such as the fierceness of a lion or the grace of a gazelle. You may then pick an animal and use it as inspiration for your poem. You may decide to jump right away to an object that you value for sentimental reasons and use it as inspiration for your poem. Maybe you have a family heirloom that has been passed down to you from your mother or a lucky pen that you refuse to throw away. You could then write a poem in the shape of the object that focuses on why you love the object so much or why you value it.

Summary: Read examples of shape poems. Analyze the examples. Focus on an activity or hobby you enjoy. Get inspired by nature. Pick your favorite object or an object of sentimental value.

When it comes to modeling, always use hashtags in your caption or in a comment on the picture to categorize the photo. People who search for certain hashtags like "#fashion" or "#model" are more likely to be interested in your content. There are some hashtags that are always popular, such as "#photooftheday," and "#outfitoftheday," but your pictures can get lost in the others that are posted in that hashtag. Target your hashtags to be more specific to your personal style, like "#fitnessmodel," "#plussizemodel," "#guyswithstyle," or "#altmodel," and mimic those used by successful influencers. You can also try using the extremely popular hashtag "#L4L", meaning that people who like your post will expect you to like their most recent post to boost engagement. Instagram's algorithm works by tracking how many people engage with your posts. Asking a question in the caption is a great way to get people to comment, which promotes your image to users who are similar to the commenter. For example, in the caption of a picture of you drinking coffee, you might say something like "Where's your favorite place to grab a cup of coffee? Tell me in the comments!" When your followers respond to your questions, reply to their comments and thank them for their answer. You can form a personal connection with them, which results in a stronger follower base and even more engagement. To boost your engagement levels, comment on the pictures of other models and build relationships with them. Once they begin to comment on your pictures, your posts will be promoted to their followers as well. Some people form "engagement pods," which are groups of people that like and comment on each others' posts to boost views and promote images. If other models are commenting on your posts, their followers are likely to want to follow you as well. When you comment on other people's pictures, keep it positive! Say things like "This picture is amazing!" or "Wish I was there!" to let them know that you support their work and want to be social media friends.

Summary: Use popular hashtags in the caption or comments of your pictures. Encourage your followers to comment on pictures by asking questions. Follow and interact with other users.

Buddha describes suffering differently than you may usually think of it. Suffering is inevitable and is a part of life. Dukkha is the truth that all is suffering. Suffering is typically used to describe things such as sickness, aging, accidents, and physical and emotional pain. Yet, Buddha considers desires(i.e. especially unfulfilled desires) and cravings as suffering as well. These two things are considered the roots of suffering because humans are rarely ever satisfied or content. Once one desire is met, another desire is created. This is a vicious cycle. Dukkha means "that which is difficult to bear." Suffering is a large spectrum and includes things that are great and small. Desire and ignorance are the root of suffering. Your unfulfilled desires are the worst type of suffering. For example, if you are sick, you are suffering. While you are sick, you desire to be well. Your unmet desire to be well is a greater form of suffering than just being sick. Any time you desire a thing, opportunity, person, or achievement that you cannot have, you are suffering. The only guarantees in life aging, sickness, and death. Your desires will never be satisfied. Once you achieve or get something that you want, you will begin to desire something else. Your constant cravings keep you from achieving true happiness. Each of the four truths is a stepping stone.

These materials include a bag of pre-mixed cement (with fibers), bonding agent, and water. A margin trowel for scraping the edges of the bucket. An electric drill and beater for mixing the cement. A wash brush is recommended for cleaning the tools after mixing the cement. You will want to fill it up about full with water. You'll want to add roughly 16 ounces. On a very large area, you can just paint the bonding agent on the edges of the old stucco and not mix it into the stucco. You can now fill the rest of the bucket with the pre-mixed cement. If you are starting, you can fill the bucket with a couple of inches of water, then add a half bucket of stucco, add a couple inches more of water and let it sit for 3 minutes so the water absorbs into the stucco. This will permit you to mix the stucco less so that you can work with it longer.
Summary: Gather the necessary materials needed to make a batch of the cement. Gather the necessary tools. Fill the bucket. Add bonding agent. Fill the bucket with cement. Don't over mix the stucco or it will set faster and be harder to apply to the wall.
