The Woodspurge

The poem woodspurge uses different tools of poetry that are common in very good ways which makes a poem what is it gives it a back bone, a structure some might say its format or foundation but to me it is to enhance and to impasses a poem and to make it as relatable and as descriptive as possible. One of the tools used was a meter In poetry, meter is the basic rhythmic structure of a verse or lines in verse. Many traditional verse forms prescribe a specific verse metre, or a certain set of metres alternating in a particular order. They also used Repetition of a sound, syllable, word, phrase, line, stanza, or metrical pattern which is a basic unifying device in all poetry the writer is usually trying to express an emotion or a phrase. The poem also consisted of personification, Personification in poetry is the technique of describing an inanimate object with human like traits and characteristics. It creates a bond between the reader and inhuman pieces of the poem. The used ryhms A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds in two or more words, most often at the end of lines. There was a handful of allitrition in the poem Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound or letter at the beginning of each or most of the words in a sentence. The easiest way to use alliteration would be to repeat the starting letter of the words. To understand this poem, you must first know that a wood spurge is a wild, green, perennial plant that grows in moist soil in and about the partial shade of woodlands. The spurge found in southern England is Euphorbia amygdaloides. It grows to about 32 inches in height. It is not a striking plant, being largely monotone green, and at its tips it develops a little green “cup” out of which two other, smaller green “cups” sprout — giving us “a cup of three.” Rossetti writes wood spurge as one word — “woodspurge” — but now it is commonly written as two. a poem about botany, but rather about the stages of grief — the kind of grief

    The first literary device that is used in this poem is a metaphor. The poem “I finally managed to speak to her” is about a young man sitting across from a young girl on a bus. They are driving through New York City, and he would like to talk to her. He says “The trees look so much greener is this part of the country. In New York City everything looks so drab.” Although he is referring to the trees, Sirowitz uses the trees as a metaphor for him. Despite the fact that he has written about the trees you have to look deeper and the meaning and decipher what is trying to be said. Since the metaphor is really talking about him rather than the trees it really brings out the meaning of the poem. In an interview Sirowitz said “she was too self-involved. Or to put it in nicer terms, she wasn 't into me.”(Interview) When he said this what I got is that when he wrote that she said “when you find another one let me know” is that she didn’t really want to talk to him so she is finishing the conversation. The metaphors in this poem are outstanding and really give you a glimpse into the author’s life. Until you actually really take a deeper look into the poem and realize what he is trying to say you may think that he is literally talking about the trees in different parts of the country.…

    In the first stanza Douglas uses alliteration Shuffling-shoes-slums All the three words are interconnected showing someone who is ‘shuffling’ generally old – connected to shoes because he is hobbling along – slums shows the person shuffling is not just wearing old shoes but also lives in slums indicating poverty. Douglas Stewart also uses simile by stating like a pine in the rain- often pine trees are not grown very symmetric but rather looks straggly especially when it has been raining and everything is wet and…

    How does the structure of Dream of the Rood contribute to the meaning of the poem? Dream of the Rood can be divided into three sections: part one (lines: one through twenty-seven), part two part (lines: twenty-eight through one-hundred and twenty-one), and part three (lines: one-hundred and twenty-two through one-hundred and fifty-six). These three sections mirror The Passion story.…

    In terms of form, the poem does not have a traditional rhyme scheme and the lines vary in length. Frost uses many different literary devices throughout the poem such as imagery which appeals to our sight, touch and hearing senses. Frost has used Imagery such as “In clomping there, he scared it once again” which appeals to our touch because you can almost feel how he has stomped the floor to try and frighten off the unknown. He has appealed to our hearing senses by using personification, “like the roar of trees” lets you almost hear how the trees were thrashing around on the cold winter night. “That brought him to that creaking room was age. He stood with barrels round…

    In the poem ‘The Wood – Pile’ Robert Frost uses a very tight structure, it is a sum of one stanza which he has used in other poems such as “Out Out -”. This poem is first person narration, which is another thing that a lot of Frost poems share in common, the setting of the poem is introduced in the first line of the poem ‘the frozen swap’ this releases visual imagery straight away. The last two words of the first line of the poem ‘gray day’ Frost uses internal rhyme the theme of the poem is nature it is set outside and it also it involves tree’s and birds Frost tells the story using this as the stake and the prop is natural resources and the wood-pile is society and because we are using nature up, it is soon going to collapse.…

    Diction In Spring

    • 680 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In line one she starts off by saying “Mother tried to take her life”, in this quote she refers to her mom as Mother which is a very cold and distant way to refer to one’s mom (Honum 1). She also in the first four lines uses very short sentences that give the tone of someone who is acting distant. This cold and distance syntax is what gives this stanza it winter theme. In the next stanza it goes to spring which symbolizes rebirth and moving forward. The diction used in lines 7-8 are the best example of this, because they say “Birds flew from the woods fingertips” here the word choice of woods meaning something dark and scary, as well as the fact that the birds are escaping from the woods represents getting through a horrible set back in life(Honum). The next stanza uses words like fruit, grass, and daisies which are all things associated with summer. She also uses a much longer sentence. Fall comes last and it talks about how quick things come and go like summer. “Unless it doesn’t stop, like moonlight which has no pace to speak of falling through the cedar limbs, falling through the rock”, this means that like moonlight not all things last forever that everything will eventually slip away(Honum…

    Although this poem may just seems like a simple journey of a man through woods, a darker hidden meaning actually hides behind it. Literally, snow is snow, a horse is a house, but seemingly ordinary objects have greater meaning in this poem. The woods are described as “lovely, dark, and deep,” but it implies the thought of suicide by the narrator. Does this poem express a wish for death or does it simply describe the lure to sit and watch beauty while the narrator's personal responsibilities are temporarily forgotten? This poem tells of the journey of an older man that has already gone through a lot, seeing as the pace is harder to keep up with and slowing down. This is evident in the rhyme scene for this poem as the beginning is mostly a a b a, but the end is all d d d d, giving it a slower pace.…

    This poem is very unique in many ways, but none as much as in the style it is written. Frost had a dream of becoming America’s most influential and prominent poet. He accomplished this throughout his career by breaking molds that had been set by pervious writers. In “Mowing,” Frost combines the elements of a Shakespearean and Petrarchan sonnets along with his own unique rhyme scheme to increase the reader’s ability to feel the poem. It is Petrarchan in that it has two distinct halves: “an octave of eight lines followed by a sestet of six.” (DiYanni, 670) The poem also contains a very strong “concluding couplet more characteristic of the Shakespearean sonnet.” (DiYanni, 670) This is combined with a unique rhyme scheme indicative of a Frost sonnet. Instead of using the strict Petrarchan rhyme scheme (ABBAABBA CDECDE) or the Shakespearean rhyme scheme (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG), Frost creates a hybrid of both: ABC ABDEC DFEG FG. Keeping in tradition with other poems he had written, Frost employs very common and easy to understand language so that his poems could be enjoyed by all.…

    The Tyger

    William uses the two types of alliteration in moderation, the echoing of vowels and the repetition of consonants. With the repetition he brings emphasis on rhyming every last word at the end of each line. This brings more focus on the piece of literature, thereby as a reader, I would ask the question, why write it this way? This also gives the sentences a solid meaning. “Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright” and “In the forests of the night”. There is a reputation of the word “Tyger”, which is repeated in the beginning. Therefore making it the focal point of the writing. “Bright” and “night” have almost the opposite meaning but here are used in a play on words form. “Burning bright,” shows the worth of the tiger and states its strength. There is some use of metaphoric with this were the tiger is referred to as a “fire” symbolizes power. With just the first few sentences, the author captures the readers attention.…

    The poet uses imagery throughout the poem, evoking strong images in each stanza, and language that appeals to the senses. The first stanza uses an image of a "tree, or a wood". This natural image conjures a sense of freedom. It then moves to "a garden, or a magic city", evoking images of human tampering with nature, and the idea of large possibility.…

    In ‘Binsey Poplars’ the poet laments the loss of the poplars that grew along the banks of the Thames, from Oxford to the small village of Binsey which were felled in 1879. The poem is a dirge, an elegy for a landscape that Hopkins had known intimately while studying at Oxford, and thus its loss was keenly felt. The poem opens with “My aspens dear…” The possessive pronoun “My” and the adjective “dear” capture from the outset the poet’s sense of extreme personal loss – his cherished and beloved trees are now “All felled, felled, are all felled.” This dramatic line, with its repetition of the pronoun “All” and the verb “felled” is powerful in its sense of grief and sorrow. “All” is an absolute term, and the triple structure combined with the monosyllabic words creates almost an onomatopoeic effect, the accented syllabics reminiscent of the devastating repeated blows of an axe. Further, the alliterative ‘f’ sound in “Of a fresh and following folded rank” sounds crisp and energetic – alive, like the trees. In addition, the personification of the trees effectively depicts them as if they are marching in formation - tall, dignified and proud - which makes the following line all the…

    “Even the Trees” is a stanzaic poem made up of non-rhyming couplets. The steady flow is juxtaposed with the topic because the poem is about slavery. More specifically, the personification of trees to imply that slavery was a crime against nature. One important characteristic to note is that this poem is written in present tense. Slavery was abolished in 1865 (in the U.S.),…
