Essay On Song Of The Powers By David Mason

The first poem I chose is Song of the Powers by David Mason. I chose this poem because I find the poem interesting. Plus I like how it rhymes. I also like the message. The whole thing is about people being stuck in a circle trying to get to power but in the end they will be stuck there, alone, and so will you. It uses the game rock, paper, and scissors to explain this. The first six verses is about rock and how it crushes people to get to power. The next six verse is about paper and it use words to get to power. The next six verse is about scissors and how it stabs people in the back to get to power. The last ten verse is connecting it all together. It shows that people tryin to get to power will be alone and so will you even if you stay away. That everyone will died alone in the end. This poem is not perfect. I don’t like the last verse. It feels empty. It make the message a bit unclear. I think something needs to be added or some words need to be change. Other than that
This is another old sappy love poem. Though this one is more about love at first sight and not saying goodbye to a love. It’s about innocent love. I like the rhythm of it. It goes with the flow and is easy to say. I think that an awesome thing to have in a poem. The whole poem is describing the girl’s face. Which is why I think it’s about love at first sight. When people fall in love at first sight, they see the eyes and the face first. Though love at first sight might not be real, it’s still beautiful when you read about it. I think poem really capture that feeling. I also like how it was written. When I first read it, I did not think it was a pre-20th century. Plus it’s very detail. There not really anything I don’t like about the poem. I’m sure there are some small things that are wrong with it, but I don’t see it. It is truly a well written poem. This poem is nice and light-hearted. That is all I really have to say about this
