The poem reminds me of the time I spent at my aunt’s farm when I was younger. Early mornings checking for eggs in the chicken coop. Remembering the smell of the outdoors intensified by the morning dew. I remember watching my uncle work in the fields of corn while I tended to the animals. Those days on…

This poem really resonated with me because I felt like it can be applicable to my own life. Not exactly in the same way of dying through childbirth, but through the love, honor, and sacrifice that she expresses through this poem.…

I can clearly picture a young teenage boy, somewhere around eighteen years old stepping off the bus into the big lights of New York City. He is vulnerable and scared of his surroundings; not knowing what he should do. He has no home, nowhere to go but it determined to make this work. He walks down the crowded New York streets stumbling across whores on Seventh Avenue and homeless people for the first time. He has no idea where to go or what to do but he puts his chin up and carriers on in search of a job and a home. It is very hard for me to focus on and relate to most poetry, but this author did a great job of holding my attention and putting me in the scene with the…

I truly reading this poem, because it creates a beautiful image. Words such as peaceful,sunlight,haze, and “the far horizon fading away” helped create that beautiful image. The image I was visualizing had a beautiful farm that was very quiet and peaceful, and I also pictured a beautiful sun setting. Additionally, one thing that I think would've taken this poem to the next level , is a shift in the mood. Throughout the poem the poet is discussing about very calm and peaceful things, but if the poet added a extra line or two about something very dark/evil I think that would have been amazing.In addition, I also feel like it was quite difficult to stay on track due to the excessive amount of commas. As we learned in class punctuation in poetry…

My goal when writing this paper is to get my opinion and perspective on the poem across to my classmates so they know where I stand, but also to remain broad enough in my writing so that my readers can compare their own response to mine. Maybe in doing that, I can help a fellow classmate or two who has a block and is stuck in the middle of the assignment.…

To give this poem empathy Wright says “And while I stood my mind was frozen within cold pity for the life that was gone. The ground gripped my feet and my heart was circled by the icy walls of fear.” This creates a feeling of deep empathy because he then goes into detail about how he can feel the dark cold bones melting themselves into the speaker’s bones, and the gray ashes that formed black flesh and merged with his flesh. It is as if he is sharing the feeling with the body he found at the base of the tree when he said “Now I am dry bones and my face a stony skull staring in yellow surprise at the sun.”…

This poem makes me think of my favorite book called The Perks Of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. It is the story of a boy named Charlie and his not-so-average life. The story is written as letters to someone he has never met, but heard was a good shoulder to lean on. This book is my favorite because I can really relate to Charlie. Speaking of Charlie, that is my puppy's name. He is a chihuahua and dachshund mix. He is my best friend and is always at my side. He is probably the coolest puppy ever, except at three in the morning when he is sitting outside my door whining, then he can be someone else's best friend. This poem is probably one of my new favorites because it actually made me feel something and that is really important to me when reading. I really enjoy how the poet talks about words people never use because I have an extensive vocabulary, but rarely use any of the words I know because most people I know would not understand me at all. The reason I am so educated in words reminds me of my grandmother, who is one of the most intelligent people I know. When I was about six or seven, she would say words to me that no Kindergartner knows and I was expected to spell them. Most of the time, I was pretty close and when I got it right, she would tell me what the words meant. At that age, I was more interested in the taste of my boogers than in learning boring words I never thought would matter. Looking back, I cannot thank her enough for that small effort to help me in life. I am sure without her, I would be using words like "ain't" and phrases such as "don't got no" instead of knowing how to speak like a civilized human being. my grandma is awesome, and as soon as Meya (my daughter) starts school, I plan to use this same technique on her to ensure she grows up to make something of herself. Might as well end this with things about Meya. She is the most beautiful child, and she is so intelligent, it is…

Poe's choice of words, such as "darkness" and "lonely" really helps to create a mood of depression and grief that I felt as a reader. I believe that the poem effectively related a sense of despair in me, the reader. I think that Poe's style is very unique it is somehow dark, but still formal in a way.…

I feel that this poem was great. And how dare someone call it pointless. My question to you is, Did you acutually read it. This poem not only speaks of the beauty of eveything, but she talks of nature mainly the sun setting. This poem consists of metaphors and personification. It talks of the birds chirping in the mornings, the scent of the flowers, and how we all should wake up ready for a day's work. This poem is no where near pointless, but actually great with it's diction, writing stlye, and choice of words. And I, personally, love…

The theme of this poem is about a father and son and their relationship together. When I read this poem for the first time I thought it was about parental abuse from all the negative words. After my analysis of the poem I then found out that it’s about a father and his son one night when he comes back a little drunk and they start dancing and the son wants to stay up and keep playing when put to bed. This is a happy poem even though there are some negative words in the poem, it makes you think back on all the great times you have had with your father.…
