Comparison poem
Edouard Joiris de Caussin 29.11.13

Compare how the poets use language to present their attitude towards particular place “the Blackbird of Glonmore” and “A Vision”
Both poems were written during the same period, during the twentieth century. Simon Hermitage presents a vision as a contrast between with a real life, a polluted world and a dream of an unrealistic giving a vision to the readers of a perfect world which cannot be realistic. In the same similarities, “The Blackbird of Glanmore”, Seamus Heany wants to share with us hiss sadness after his brother’ s death .
Although Armitage’s line to introduce his poem, he uses oxymoron “The future was a beautiful place” to emphasis his idea presented through the poem to show that it is already written in using an imperfect. In contrast with the opening line, the end is not excepted to be happy because he shows us that in spite of his future where nothing is inconsistent; the dream could never have come true because he realizes the harsh reality of the present which effect the rhythm, slower and less happy. However to introduce his poem “On the grass when I arrive”, Seamus reflect his open and his last line in reflecting the same idea and adds “In the ivy when I leave” to show the familiar action of the blackbird. In both poems, the arrangement of ideas and events are approaching by alliteration to create a sound effect with the same letter “b” and to give a nice pattern to the phrase “bottle bank” for “A Vision” and “I park, pause, take heed” for “The Blackbird of Glomnore”.
Simon suggests the irony “bottle blank”, the difference between what people except, was optimist by believing in the future and democratic and what actually happens effect the imagery . And in the same time a contrast with the today’ s life where we use landfill and unrealistic life where the

    The poem begins by undercutting the beautiful, pleasant imagery promised by the title through the terse bluntness of the “dusk, and cold.” Flowers are indeed present as the title suggests, but only “frail, melancholy” ones, gathered by the subservient act of “kneeling” among “ashes and loam”. There is a definite sense of ending – both of the day, and of something grander. The persona’s attempts at engaging with the natural world are crudely rebuffed – she cannot succeed in her musical engagement, merely “try”, which results only in an “indifferent” blackbird “fret[ting] and strop[ing]” under “Ambiguous light. Ambiguous sky.” This unfriendly environment in which the poem begins foregrounds the sense of loss which characterises so much of Harwood’s poetry, an inevitable, confronting finality emphasised by the bluntness of the language and plethora of full stops. The adult world presented here is one of uncertainty, difficulty and ambiguity.…

    To compare and contrast these two poems every detail makes a difference because that way the reader understands what is going on in the poem. When a poet begins to write a poem there is always that one message they are trying to get across or a little story they are trying to tell. So as a reader, it is important to read a poem more than once to really understand it. Imagery is a big key that both of these poets use. This is good when writing so that the readers are interested when reading the poem and to really draw mental pictures in the heads of the readers. Metaphor is also a big tool used in poetry, and without that many poems do not make sense. In both of these poems there is metaphor but it is not very clear to see sometimes. A lot of poets just ramble on with words and sometimes is not clear on what they are trying to say. So with these two poems you see how one is easier to read than the other. In William Stafford’s “Traveling through the Dark” it is very clear on what he is writing about and the theme is simple to understand. But in Randall Jarrell’s "The Death of the…

    The acquaintance between people, knowing each other is destined to fate. Although, not all dreams have time to achieve, not all words have time to tell you, always want to cherish the heart after the parting. Meet so hurried, Leave also hurried. High mountains bumpy, let us join hands full with the spirit of Maple Leaf. Because of the wind and rain we can see the beautiful rainbow, because of the wind and rain we didn't stand out of life. The youth season so affectionate, formative years so appealing. If the encounter is only three years ago as a numeral outside of the accident, so three years to know each other and bring our together is the fate, and tonight's gathering is the joy of the three years of happy time. I wish all of the 2017 session…

    I chose to write about the symbolism between the stories, “I Used to Live Here Once” by Jean Rhys and “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost because the comparisons between these two stories are uncanny as they both use symbolism in two distinct ways. “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost is a poem and “I Used to Live Here Once” by Jean Rhys is a short story that details a journey, which can be physical, mental, emotional, or even spiritual. Once you embark upon a journey, you are guaranteed to learn something along the way, but it is up to you to decide to use…

    Limbo and Caged Bird are two very similar poems. They are mainly about one matter-freedom of captivity. Freedom is what the poems characters desire and hope to have. Freedom is their need and wants to be joyful and happy. I have picked these two poems, which link in many different ways, because they have interesting descriptions of the scene and tell us what the atmosphere is like. Furthermore, the authors, Braithwaite and Maya Angelou have used different techniques to portray feelings and show the events occurring.…

    The poem is constituted of loose iambic trimester and iambic tetrameter. They follow an ABCB rhyme scheme. This is also classified as a lyric poem. The poem has no regular scheme of end rhyme. However, line 1 rhymes with line 2 and line 5 with line 7. The poem satirizes the life of a “wanna be” superstar. She uses the pronouns you, we, us, and you. She uses a simile “how public--- like a frog to compare how loud frogs croak in the summer time to the way people gossip and talk about other people. This poem mocks our public world. They advertise their own names, over and over, selling themselves for the purpose of maintaining their fame, but not having any substance behind it. This poem has some symbolic meanings in them. The frog symbolizes the gossiping of a person. The bog symbolizes the world. “Somebody” symbolizes a famous person.…
