“They” by Siegfried Sassoon The poem exists out of two stanzas‚ with a rhyme pattern of ababcc dedeff. The tone of the poem appears to be a little sarcastic and mocking. The poem is a direct conversation between a Bishop and boys (soldiers)‚ it can be seen by the use of the double quotations.

Love Prevails “Idea: Sonnet 61” by Michael Drayton is a fourteen line Petrarchan sonnet that dramatizes the conflicting emotions that arise from an intimate relationship coming to an abrupt end.

However‚ it was no ordinary and flippant relationship. It was a serious relationship that involved great amounts of passion that

“Because I could not stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson is considered a masterpiece of American poetry. The short tale of a leisurely ride in a carriage with a man called Death offers insight and perspective into what life really is. Ultimately‚ Dickinson wishes to remind the reader that life is a cycle; and death can be seen as an end‚ or as a beginning. The cycle of life is exemplified in Dickinson’s use of the personification of Death‚ the imagery of things seen in the carriage ride‚ and use of
