Speakers Attitude Towards Her Father Changes
1,175 wordsA Complete Turnaround Sharon Olds poem, "The Victims", deals with an underlying theme of abuse. Olds illustrates this theme through the tone of the poem, which is achieved by imagistic language, rhyme and rhythm. In this poem the speaker is illustrated through two points of view, first as a child then as an adult reflecting back on a troublesome childhood experience. As the speakers point of view changes so does the use of poetic devices. The poem opens with the speaker remembering the behaviors...

Same Line The Words
464 wordsReapers Jean Toomer's poem "Reapers" brings a sense of death to the reader's mind. The speaker conveys a dark mood and setting. That setting and mood provide imagery that virtually takes the reader along on this journey with Death himself. As a reader you start to feel a sense of despair. This powerful one stanza poem does all that and more. In the very first line of this one stanza poem Jean Toomer has somewhat of an alliteration with the phrase. ".. the sound of steel on stones". That phrase a...

Chaos Into The Fourteen Lines
803 wordsIn just one paper, I am going to go from two inspirational poems, to a more depressing one. The inspirational poem I will be responding to is "The Tyger", written by William Blake. This piece is by far one of my favorite poems read. I read it often just to remind me not to wimp around with my lifting and my getting bigger, just like the song by Survivor, "Eye of the Tiger", does for me. It keeps in mind what it's going to take to do this. The second piece of inspiration I like is, "I will put Ch...

Beginning Of Winter And The Second Part

The general idea of the poem is that the dismal winter is approaching, but there are some incidences of goodness in this depressing time. The first part can be sectioned into the first and second stanzas. The poe...

Insightful Poems
777 wordsOgden Nash was a poet that used nonsensical and humorous verse to draw people into reading his poems. Then, he would slip in insightful poems that speak a lot about life. His light verse even earned him a place on a postage stamp. His poems contain uneven lines that all rhyme, and he even made up spellings to words to achieve the best effect. Frederick Ogden Nash was born August 19, 1902, in New York. His family thought that education was very important, and this was the basis for his love of la...

First Line In The Poem
1,060 words"anyone lived in a pretty how town"anyone lived in a pretty how town" By reading this first line in the poem, I knew trouble was lurking ahead in the rest of the poem, but I still read on. After reading the last line I had closed my eyes and rested for a minute. My brain had been turned into mush, "That poem made no sense whatsoever; I don't like this poem at all". I had said in an ignorant tone. Shortly after my brains had turned to mush, Mr. Rodriguez told us (the class) to read the poem again...

Main Theme Of Marvell's Poem
989 wordsThe seventeenth century was an era of beautiful poetry. Two poets in particular, Andrew Marvell and John Donne, wrote care diem poetry full of vivid imagery and metaphysical conceits. Each conveyed the message of 'living for the now. ' This message can be clearly seen in the poems 'To his Coy Mistress' by Marvell and Donne's 'Flea. ' By using clever metaphors and meter, the poems not only are symbolic, but have almost a physical aspect to them. Though both poems take a similar approach, it is Ma...

Line At The End Of The Poem
652 wordsThe Un usualness of Carol Anne Duffy's Poetry Carol Anne Duffy's poetry like quite a lot of modern poetry is not traditionally written. It does not rhyme and punctuation differs from how it would have been traditionally written. Also sentences do not start and end in orthodox places for example; in Valentine sentences cross lines: - I give you an onion. Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips, possessive and faithful as we are, for as long as we are. This crossing of lines and paragraphs is more ...

Beauty Of Daffodils Through His Poem

Sonnet 130 A Very Odd Loving Poem
520 wordsAfter going through all the Sonnets, I liked Sonnet 130 the most. To be frank enough, I found Sonnet 130 a very odd loving poem. Rather than praising his lover, Shakespeare at first seems to be insulting her. According to him, her eyes do not sparkle like the sun, her skin is grayish-brown rather than white, her lips aren't very red, her cheeks don't have much color, her hair looks like wires, her breath doesn't smell very good and that the sound of her voice certainly isn't as nice to listen to...

Dying Leaves
249 wordsAn Analysis of Neutral Tones by Thomas Hardy "We stood by a pond that winter day", (1) This line indicates a still quietness, with lack of the movement of life. There is a vast difference in appearance and movement around a pond in winter and a pond in the midst of summer. This indicates no leaves, and no visible signs of life. The poet is painting a stark and lifeless scene. "And the sun was white, as though chidden of God", (2) This is indicative of the modernist approach to light as being too...

Line Twenty Four
922 wordsIf If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream – and not make dreams your master; If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triu...
