pretty easy to understand but it also has deep meaning. This poem can be seen as representing…
Clearly this is a very important poem and we should all learn from this. I did especially because that makes me think what good I could do for people, especially the ones who need the help. I think this poem had went a long way, now you see that movies are being made about heroes around the world. Even though they are fiction, but we can be the real hero to everyone and make a difference in the…
The true beauty of this poem for me, and what makes it so enigmatic, is the mutual recognition in a person, between two moments past and future, of one's frame of mind at the other moment. We are so long in time, that such connections are very, very rare, and to have a moment of empathy with one's future or past self is both to gain a momentary insight into the nature of life and aging, and to momentarily gain a new internal context to how we perceive the aging of others, and what it really means to…
I remember when I first experienced goosebumps raise on my arms and send a shiver through my body, simply because the words leaving the speaker's lips left such an imprint on me. I didn’t think that a simple sentence could bring tears to my eyes, could cause me to react in any physical way. I didn’t even know the author. Yet, it still amazes me anytime I react to such a poem. The emotions that the author pours into every word and every syllable is astounding. Each pause and breath tell a story on their own. I knew that I had to try. I wanted to make people feel the way like I did when I first heard them, but because it was my words that made them react.…
Love poem is a very simple poem yet it has a deep dimension if you read analytically. In fact she didn’t get straight to the point that she was primarily addressing which is the “love poem”. Pastan goes on to describe the form of the poem rather than going on to talk about the love itself that she wanted to write about.…
If somebody read their lover this poem in today's society it would more than likely be taken into great offence and result in arguments since things…
I’m not a fan of poetry, by any means, but I do think this is a good poem. The poet gets all of his thoughts across, and they are things that many people could relate to. I can personally relate to this poem. My situation was not to the same extreme as his situation, but is was a similar scenario. I knew this girl that I didn’t think was very attractive. I didn’t think she was ugly by any means, but she was no…
I choose this poem because I want to live my life with the one I love even if in the middle of crisis. I believe that the poem is about the unbreakable love: physically and emotionally.…
Personally the poem to me conveys the rage, desperation and sorrow of a broken and shrouded woman who’s past has engulfed her to the extent where she has no future since she can’t let go.…
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…
I don’t completely understand this poem, but it’s really not about understanding, it’s about how the poem makes you feel. I thought that this was one of the best of the Black Mountain poet’s works.…
This poem really contains the main theme of the nature of people. She describes a stereotypical view that people do not take the time to appreciate and understand things. The poem honestly causes me a lot of confusion, which is why I picked it. I do not know how to get a full understanding of anything in this poem, especially things such as themes and allusions so I do not really have anything to say about either of those things so I am going to move on.…
I chose this poem because of personal experience. It brings back memories of my brother who passed away from Cancer. He was an amazing person, always full of life. His death brought back many memories of our child hood, the laughs the humor. I think back to us running around as kids, summer breaks, Christmas, and all the best times of our lives. He’s sense of humor was one of a kind, he was indeed the star on the stage and us his audience. These are moments in life that could never be replaced. Often I would lose myself in thought, and wonder who would help fill his shoes. Just as he came he was gone, as if he never existed. Everything that he worked for or lived for was gone. Over time you look for ways to bring joy back into your life, to turn the pain into happiness. I remember my sister coming home with a puppy a couple months later. The puppy helped for a while but in the end the house was the same. It didn’t change the fact that he was gone nor did the puppy replace him.…
This is why the poem is so significant, unlike any other poem; this one has a meaning which I can relate my past experiences from one which actually bonds with me. A true meaning which I can remember forever.…
Initial response: It seems to me that this poem is about a girl’s struggle to come to terms with whom she is dearly attracted to.…
