Strand Eating Poetry Summary
The poem by Strand “Eating Poetry” is firsthand account from the guy who's eating the poems the relationship with poetry is the love he has for poetry It makes him crave so much that he feels he is eating it like food. Poetry brings joy to him and bring happiness it’s a way of expressing his feeling it makes him feel so good that he become hungry for the poetry and the librarian doesn’t see that love he has for poetry because maybe she hasn’t found something she loves as much as he loves poetry
My opinion is the poet isn’t physical eating poetry he’s using eat to show the consumptions of the poetry as he would with food he’s using eating to show how much poetry fills him up as food would when we like a certain food we keep eating it over and

In line one the writers says the eagle clasps the crag with crooked hands, I can hear the eagles sharp talons scratching against the rocks.

This show that the author uses good words in describing the actions of the eagle.…

    For centuries, stories have been told amongst people all around the world. As time went on, people have searched for ways to help better memorize these stories. Stories were often written down by those who could write, which at the time was a small percent of people in the world. For those that couldn't write, they had no choice but to pass stories on verbally. These people soon realized that over time, stories are not always told properly, or are purposely changed. Stories told by song are not only kept the same, but they are also easier to remember. For example, during slavery, slaves depended on songs to lead them to freedom. One song was "Follow the Drinkin' Gourd." This song gave specific instructions on how to follow the stars, evade…

    Galway Kinnell’s poem “Blackberry Eating” (rpt. in Greg Johnson and Thomas R. Arp, Perrine’s Literature: Structure, Sound, and Sense, 12th ed. [Boston: Wadsworth, 2015] 890-891) makes me think of my childhood with blackberries. Blackberries are my favorite berries and love the time of the year for them. As the poem says “I love to go out in late September among fat, overripe, icy, black blackberries…” (890), this is the best time of the year. Blackberries bring many memories with my grandparents: picking the blackberries, eating the blackberries, and making jelly and cobbler out of blackberries.…

    From Eden Poem Analysis

    Much like poetry, “Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.” Music and poetry are two platforms in which artists from the beginning of time have chosen to circulate their ideas, feelings, and opinions. Although different in popularity, these mediums are alike in various ways. Nonetheless, not every song you hear on the radio can be properly analyzed using procedures that you would follow to evaluate poetry. A song has to contain certain literary elements essential to poetry, such as the song “From Eden” by Hozier, in order for it to be analyzed. Hozier is recognized for his sentimental lyrics and use of poetic elements to add musicality and rhythm to his music. Through symbolism, repetition, and…

    In the above lines pulled from the poem "One Today", I put the words in bold that I would change if I had been the author. I would change the word "write" to deliver, because anyone can write a poem, but Blanco was stating that his mothers hard work got him where he is today, and not everyone is able to deliver a speech at a presidential inauguration. In the second and third examples, I would change "hear" to observe and "tired" to weary, as I believe those are stronger word choices that will get the authors point across with more conviction. I would change the word "head" in the fourth example to trudge, because in the following lines, he gives examples of hardship and is trying to convey how exhausted the person is. Finally, I would change…

    The title of this poem by Don Marquis is "The Lesson of the Moth" because it is a poem about the thoughts of a moth and his outlook on life. The overall poem would be considered argumentative being the moth is trying to inform the man that he should live his life and let his hair down a little more instead of relishing the everyday routines of life. This is shown in paragraph 3 when the moth says “But we get bored with the routine/and crave beauty/and excitement.”(18-20)Another example of the passage being argumentative is when the man says “and before I could argue him/out of his philosophy.”(43-44) Don Marquis expressed several tones to the overall poem. In paragraph 1 the tone is contemplative being that the man was studying the moth trying to break in an electric bulb and wondering why the moth would do such a thing. As the poem transitions into paragraph 2, the tone becomes more argumentative. Then as the paragraph begins to transition more into the third paragraph, the tone becomes more passionate when the moth starts asking the man about doing the same routine and craving excitement. In addition, this part of the poem is where the author begins to utilize ethos because of the moth expressing his strong emotion in regards to excitement and beauty. As the poem progresses on to paragraph 3 the tone is very optimistic and hopeful. This is shown when the moth is convincing the man that it is better to live with spontaneity for a short time on this earth and have excitement then living your entire life with the same routine and never been able to experience excitement. In regards to the optimistic side of the tone in paragraph 3, this is shown when the moth states “so we wad all our life up/into one little roll/and then we shoot the roll/that is what life is for.” (31-34) In paragraph 4, the tone switches to acceptance. This part of the poem is where the man…

    Gwendolyn Brooks poem "The Bean Eaters" is about an old couple and how their lives changes. As they get older, they end up living in a small back room eating mostly beans. Old age can be a dark time but remembering the good times will keep people going. This poem implies that old age can be boring. For example, "Two who are mostly good/ Two who have lived their day, but keep on putting on their clothes and putting things away" (lines 5-8). This shows that they have nothing else to live for but each other, because they have already lived through the best times of their lives and they live the same day by day with each other. It also shows that they are old by saying, "This old yellow pair" (line 1). This poem shows that remembering the old times will keeps people going. In my opinion, this…

    Poetry: Poem Analysis

    The works we studied within Creative Writing were all helpful in creating my own works to submit to the class. Throughout all of the reading, many of the works inspired me in different ways, whether it was short story plot ideas or word usage in the poems. While crafting my work for the final portfolio, I reviewed many of the poems from our poetry packet in an effort to find inspiration and to create new interesting images. I took the most inspiration for my formal poem, which I found most difficult to write. One of the poems that was most useful to me was Jilly Dybka’s “Memphis, 1976.” Dybka’s poem follows the sestina form; I also wrote my last poem in this form, so it helped to follow the form by looking at her poem as an example. Dybka’s…
