Poem By Isaac Watts
630 wordsDoes Poetry Matter To me poetry does not matter. I do not like poetry because a poem is just a passage that contains a hidden meaning and I can never figure out what a poem is about. If poetry was not around then authors would just come out and say what they wanted to say. Their thoughts would not get confused and people would not miss the meaning that the author is trying to get across. Poetry is just an art form like painting, music, sculpting, and writing. You could take away any art form and...

Two Poems
359 wordsJudith Wright's second anthology Woman to Man (1949) is better known for the freshness of her approach in examining until-then taboo subjects of sexual desire and especially women's sexuality.

Even these poems, considered by many among th...

5 Slaves
346 wordsLucy Terry, who was a slave until 1756, wrote this poem while she was enslaved. This is a poem about the attack on Old Deerfield. In this poem, she talks about how the Indians killed 5 enslaved men. She seems to have a great attachment to making a point of saying their names so they will not be forgotten. They must be people that she knew, people that she knew to be great, or just people who were slaves also. It was August 25, 1746 and the Indians were out to kill some very fearless enslaved men...

Auden's Poem September 1 1939 Review
630 wordsOn September 1, 1939, Hitler's forces invaded Poland as the rest of the world watched. The ramifications of this were immense for the Jewish people, as many of them were rounded up and shipped off to concentration camps. Hitler's ideas and actions as frightening as they seemed, were far from original. Mussolini rose to power in Italy and the fascists were the ruling party in Spain. Europe and her Jews were burning. W.H. Auden in "September 1 1939" could not help but be overwhelmed by the tragic ...

Rise This Poem
1,923 wordsAfrican American Poetry The theme I chose for the anthology is African American poetry. I did not choose this topic to enhance my knowledge of other cultures or to deepen my understanding of other races or ethnicities. No, I cannot take credit for that. Rather, I chose this topic for the simple reason that it was different. I had gotten bored of reading poems by the same type of people in similar situations in life. So, I found poems written by poets from distinct backgrounds and a different dif...
