Rhyme Scheme Standard Meter Death
635 words
Death, commonly viewed as an all-powerful force
against life, is otherwise described in John
Donne's Holy Sonnet 10. As found in any English
Sonnet, there is a rhyme scheme and a standard
meter. Although the standard meter is iambic
pentameter, as in most English Sonnets, the rhyme
scheme differs a little from the usual, consisting
of ABBA ABBA CDDC AE. Sonnets convey various
thoughts and feelings to the reader through the
different moods set by the author. In this case

Robert Frost The Road Not Taken
710 words
The Road Not Taken is perhaps one of Robert
Frost's most famous poems. This poem deals with
the choices you have to make in life. Whether it's
what to wear in the morning or what to do with
your life, everyone makes choices. When you look
at this poem carefully, you realize Robert Frost
is choosing much more than what road to walk down.
He is making a lifelong decision. One of the
reasons I am drawn to this poem is the imagery. A
forest is a very quiet place that suits this poem
well. Being in a...

Dulce Et Decorum Est Wilfred Owen
1,033 words
The two poems Suicide in the Trenches and Dulce Et
Decorum Est show resentment toward the war. The
reason for this is because both poets Sigfried
Sassoon and Wilfred Owen had first hand experience
in the war unlike their contemporaries Stephen
Crane and Rupert Brooke who glorified war and the
theme of patriotism. Since Cranes and Brookes
poems glorified war and encouraged young men to
enroll in the army they would be popular in the
war period and so were published before Sassoon's
and Owen's wor...

Black No Sky Tongue Stuck In My Jaw Man
969 words
Sylvia Plath uses her poem, Daddy, to express deep
emotions toward her fathers life and death. With
passionate articulation, she verbally turns over
her feelings of rage, abandonment, confusion and
grief. Though this work is fraught with ambiguity,
a reader can infer Plath's basic story. Her father
was apparently a Nazi soldier killed in World War
II while she was young. Her statements about not
knowing even remotely where he was while he was in
battle, the only photograph she has left of him

John Keats once said about Lord Byron He describes
what he sees - I describe what I imagine, mine is
the hardest task To Autumn is evidence of his way
of thinking, as the poem is a vivid, lyrical
portrayal of the English autumn, as he imagined
it. The poem celebrates autumn as a season of
abundance, a season of reflection, a season of
preparation for the winter, and a season worthy of
admiration with comparison to what romantic poetry
often focuses upon - the spring. The poem is

Anne Bradstreet Extended Metaphor
650 words
In The Author to Her Book, Bradstreet is awash in
indecision and internal conflicts over the merits
and shortfalls of her creative abilities and the
book that she produced. This elaborate internal
struggle between pride and shame is manifested
through a painstaking conceit in which she likens
her book to her own child. An essential step in
analyzing a poem is to provide a structural
outline of the poem. Anne Bradstreet's poem, The
Author to Her Book, can be divided into seven

Raven are both very similar. However, in their
views of love, namely the loss and mourning of
beautiful women, they differ greatly. Through

Poets must utilize many tools and techniques to
create a mood or convey a thought. Metaphor,
simile, spacing, form, voice, and setting are all
common poetic utilities. Some tools, however, are
more understated. Some of the more delicate

the consistency of the theme throughout the poem.
One work that makes use of inconsistent theme is
