Summary Of The Poem Where Am After I Pass Away By Jane Frye
This poem comes near the end of my anthology because it discusses where I am after I pass away. Even if I live life to the fullest and continue dreaming, life is inevitably going to end. If I am going to be bitter about death, I will not be able to reap the beautiful opportunity to live eternally. This Frye writes about the beauty of after-death in nature. Her words provide comfort and solace to the ones who mourn over a loved one because she writes with so much meaning that your loved one is not truly gone. For me, this is incredibly reassuring because I never want to say goodbye to the ones I love. The rhyme scheme of this poem creates a beautiful sound when read aloud because each set of two lines rhyme. This creates an overall feeling

    The Death Spread Poem Analysis

    The shift in images from the beginning to the ending of the poem served as a useful example in showing me how to switch the tone of a poem with grace (I was thinking about my condom poem in this instance) and how to structure lines and words in a way that make the reader think. All in all, Brewington hits the nail on the head with this poem by delivering a prepossessing story of life, death, and all the odd portions…

    Analysis Of Dead By Tom Wayman

    This poem is essentially the speaker’s parting words to his love. We see that he is very conflicted about his life. Even as he looks death in the eyes he's unsure as to what comes next. He is weary of his life. He feels dead inside or perhaps he was born as a stillborn whose body had survived, adapting to the harsh world but his spirit still stuck inside the womb. He feels resentful that death has not come quickly, it was as if some force was pulling strings to keep his alive. So it's easier just to take thing into his own hand. He’s wondering if people will disdain and curse him before they mourn him. He feels calm at the end of his note, if it's in his head or head he was not sure. At the end he wholeheartedly believes that the grim reaper…

    Burrito and Life

    This poem had reminded me of the time when I was at the hospital because my aunt was extremely sick and was about to die. I remember as I was walking out of the hospital and there was this dad who was very happy and giving everyone at the hospital cupcakes out because his wife gave birth to their first child. As I walked passed this newly made dad I realized that ones best day could another persons worst day; and then at that moment I understood the circle of life, where there is ones birth there is ones death, and vise versa.…

    Belonging In Emily Dickinson's 'This Is My Letter To The World'

    Where “This is my Letter to the World” demonstrates disengagement from the outer world, this poem also explores her alienation from the outer world through her unusual relationship with death. Through the imagery in the lines, “I died for beauty but was scarce/adjusted in the tomb” the persona demonstrates her unconventional attitude toward death in contrast to the ideologies of the outer world regarding the topic of death. This statement contains distinct imagery of dying for beauty which is intangible, accentuating the personal belonging of the persona. The imagery is very macabre, morbid, and martyr-like. The issue of death is considered to be an unspoken topic in the polite world and the persona is putting herself out there into the world, despite conservative ways of thinking. The persona speaks of death bravely which shows her unwillingness to avoid the topic of mortality. This causes her not to belong. The persona causes her own sense of detachment from…

    I remember when I first experienced goosebumps raise on my arms and send a shiver through my body, simply because the words leaving the speaker's lips left such an imprint on me. I didn’t think that a simple sentence could bring tears to my eyes, could cause me to react in any physical way. I didn’t even know the author. Yet, it still amazes me anytime I react to such a poem. The emotions that the author pours into every word and every syllable is astounding. Each pause and breath tell a story on their own. I knew that I had to try. I wanted to make people feel the way like I did when I first heard them, but because it was my words that made them react.…

    My Favourite Poem

    This poem constantly reminds me of the daily challenges I face at school while studying and how hope is there in the hardest moments to ‘keep me warm’. It teaches you how hope is frail but strong, and hope is unselfish and never asks not even a ‘crumb’ of you. The way in which Dickinson puts the words together with such subtlety amazes me as it can relate to me and connect to me with such power.…
