My 20 Lines For My Broken Heart
Godspower Oshodin

The windows of my heart is shut and disdained,
My memories in reminisce of how it was pained.
The open shutter of love, is now closed
Moments like before will never be tossed.

Love has spanked my heart to pain,
As I write this poem with no poetic gain.
My hand can no longer touch your beautiful face,
The one I love have given me a long space.

My hands fidget, as I exhaust this cubic pen,
That your love for me is no longer ten over ten.
My eyes can’t stop cascading tear, cascade
For wooing the next girl, is my lyrical fear.

I have stopped sleeping, because I don’t want to dream of you,
Yet, staring at this blue sky, all I see is you.
My dreams of fathering your children is dead
My purple hibiscus has turned red.

Steep is the road I now passes thru
And yet, getting back to your heart is my only clue.
My journey with love has been cut shot,
Now, all my feelings for a girl, has a “but”.

    In the second stanza, he is reminiscing about his childhood and how he felt imprisoned in school (gazed upon the bars). He speaks of a fluttering stranger (line 26), which seems to indicate that not that person is fluttering, but his eyelids are. His eyes are unclosed, because he is daydreaming, but soon he actually falls asleep and thinks about his teacher, who he detests. He describes the anticipation of being able to go outside again only by hearing the bells of the old church-tower, since he is only looking out the window and waiting for the doors to open for anybody to pick him up and take him outside.…

    Stanza two develops the poet's ability to shelter her pain. "I am industrious and clever" Here she states plainly that she is gifted at hiding her true feelings. She paints "Landscapes on door panels and screens." Here symbolism is developed further as door panels may represent doors to her heart or other aspects of her being. In parallel, the screens she paints provide illusion to the way she feels. By painting the "the doors and screens" she hopes others will follow the illusion instead of looking at what she really experiences.…

    Within this poem the protagonist struggles to connect to his new school and chooses the path of isolation, The use of imagery in the verse “Our Lady watched, with outstretched arms, her face overshadowed by clouds” is used to show that the individual thinks twice about entering the school, the “outstretched arms” should be warm and welcoming giving a sense of belonging, however as the protagonists sees it “overshadowed by clouds”, a dark,…

    The imagery of this poem surrounds a train and can represent the physical aspect towards the new world. It starts off straight away with the lines “It was sad to hear, the train’s whistle this morning” straight away using the feature of onomatopoeia, giving the train a more life-like attribute with the use of ‘whistle’ but also setting the tone of the poem towards a more negative tone using the word “sad”. The stanza continues to portray a sense of loss, sadness and hardship as they await the train with the line “All night it had rained” and has also used the lines “But we ate it all, the silence, the cold and the benevolence of empty streets” to symbolize the environment around them with the mood of the travelers, as the persona combines it with the oppressiveness of the migrants. All of this set the emotion of the poem and symbolizes all the experiences that the migrants go through. This helps portray how the train symbolized the next part of their journey and how at times how depressing their journey can be how the atmosphere around them is mostly gloomy and depressing.…

    In the first stanza, he makes us, as readers, feel distant from the ‘mental cases’, ‘these’, ‘they’ and ‘their’ all create a space between us and them; however he includes us in line eight, ‘we’ are mentioned (line 8). By not naming them, he makes a representation of what they lost (who they are and how you define them). He dehumanises them by creating horror through the use of violent images like ‘gouged’, where the reader gets an image of scooping out something, adding a dark aspect of torture. Syntax also contributes, he writes the word ‘twilight’ at the end of the question, which draws attention to the word, emphasizing the importance that it is the end of the day, suggesting that darkness is approaching.…

    Death pervades The Whitsun Weddings and in Ambulances is reflected on in terms of the significance of our response to seeing an ambulance stop. Passers-by view them as ‘confessionals’, secretive, mysterious places where we confront our deepest nature. They are impersonal and unpredictable, resting ‘at any kerb’ and reminding us of our mortality because ‘All streets in time are visited’. The contrast of the mundane reality of a visit to the shops with the ‘wild white face’ (note the alliteration and assonance denoting an interruption from the norm) shows how anyone can be randomly caught up in another’s loss, before the patient is dehumanisingly ‘stowed’ and it is this that leads in stanza 3 to the onlookers understanding the tenuousness of their own lives, ‘the solving emptiness’ which is infinite. Whether religious or colloquial, ‘Poor soul’ is not, therefore an expression of sympathy but of self-pity, ‘at their own distress’.…

    As the sunset tucks down, I space out to grasp onto thoughts of realization. Days passed by as if they were battling with the wind. I cannot embrace every memory, because some just happen too rapid that remembering them is ineffectual.

    The imagery in this poem helps to describe a picture in the reader's mind so that the reader can sympathize with the speaker during his journeys into the past. In the first stanza, in the first line, the first image is of a woman. In the fourth line the reader learns that this woman is the speaker's mother. The third line shows an image of a "child sitting under the piano . . . pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles." This image gives the reader an image, perhaps of a parlor room, of a child about three or four years of age enjoying the music produced by his mother. The love of the mother shines through her smile as she reciprocates to the child's gentle touch. Later, in the second stanza, the contrasting image of a cold, snowy night in the winter and the cozy parlor causes the "hymns" to seem doubly warm. This represents the traditional image of a grand family sitting around a warm, crackling fire; they sing carols together and just enjoy each other's company. The piano in the first and second stanza is described as "tingling strings" and "tinkling piano"...…
