Sylvia Plath 1-Poppies in October The poem is a remarkable play of life and death‚ said and unsaid‚ hope and hopelessness. The poem is about an unusual time and its impact on the poetess‚ wherein she tells her agony and pain through the metaphor of nature. The poem brings before us a personal touch of the poetess’ life. October is the beginning of winter when flowers withered away and trees are leafless. It is the coming up of a long and cold winter and is not a season of blooming and blossoming

‘Plath’s poems seethe with anger‚ hope‚ desire and disappointment. Her poems reveal a perspective and a language use that are utterly unique’.

Her poems ‘Lady Lazarus’ and ‘Daddy’ are confessional poems that use contemporary form

demonstrate this through my texts of; Little Fugue‚ and Morning Song both poems written by Sylvia Plath; the movie‚ Love Actually; and the book‚ Trickster’s Choice by Tamora Pierce. Little Fugue by Sylvia Plath is my first example of how we all perceive our different relationships.

Throughout the poem‚ Plath contradicts herself‚ saying‚ ‘I was seven‚ I knew nothing’ yet she constantly talks of the
