Blog Challenge: Cleft Sentence

T N

It is the bird that whistles the lovely voices
It is the forest that provides much oxygen for us
It is the sea that is rich in various kinds of marine lifes
It is the earth that we should protect from corruptness ...

It was jealousy that separated brothers
It was hatred that made two people hostile
It was grudge that brought on all the things possible
It was greed that caused the world war happen ...

It is for a peacefulness that we should respect each others
It is to get health that people take care of the body
It is about the improvement that we need to talk
It is from the heart that somebody could change ...

Let us keep the earth... Let us prevent the hostility... Let us change to be better...

It was a long long time ago that human learnt communicating
It was Before Christ that people could do writing and computing
It was after the phone invention that the scientist found computer
It was in this century that regardless distance we could meet each other ...

Let me say it is human who has a great brain ...
It is the mother whose affection is never ending
It is the family who always supports me, BUT ...
It is you, it's only you whom I want to meet all this time ...

Just a poem by Onee ^^

-------------------------------------------------------

Honestly, I didn't know the theme of this poem. Neither love, nor friendship, nor society, nor about earth. lol... Then just came out the tittle "REFLECTION" :D Thank you very much for this useful challenge, dear Expector. I learn a lot from this. To all the readers, thank you so much for spending your time to read this poem. Let me know if you like it. Correction will be highly appreciated. ^^

  • Ohh Mohammad,

    You're absolutely right about your correction. How could I forget about that? Thanks ^^. And....you ....maybe right about you're the only one whom I want to meet all this time...^^ So, now you know, I would not wait for too long....:)))))D

    Well, I intentionally made that part of the poem, so the readers could feel what I thought. Thanks a lot, you got it. ^^

  • Hi Evangelina,

    I like that part, too. I feel those sentences strengthen my poem. :))

    I knew you would hardly understood if I made only a love poem or an excessive poem. :D Please also note, sometimes I made a love poem, just as a poem because I'm not that melancholic,,,like before..LOL....

    Thank you dearest Eva...Happy Sunday! ^^

  • Nice poem Onee-chan, I like.......,thank you for sharing
  • Dear Mishaikh,

  • Dear Doc Expector,

    Many thanks for your explanation and the link about it. Yes, Doc, I think so. Cleft sentence seems to be more complex than we thought. There are It-cleft, Wh-cleft, and also All-cleft, and maybe more.. as I searched before through Google.

    At first, I wanted to use all kinds of cleft sentences, but it would be an odd poem mabye. :D
    Thank you so much for your concern and featuring it, doc. Happy Sunday! :)

  • Hi Onee,

    Sorry I have to leave another comment here. It seems you can use 'whom' instead of 'who/that' or even omit 'whom' or 'who/that'when it's the object of the verb. 

    So, the cleft sentence structure seems to be more complex than we thought. We do need to be creative here:)
