Blakes Little Girl Lost
984 words
A Little GIRL Lost from Songs of Experience is one
of Blakes most important poems. Though judging the
aesthetic value of a poem is nearly impossible, I
would contend that A Little Girl Lost is better
than The Little Girl Lost found in Songs of
Innocence. Perhaps because A Little Girl Lost was
composed as an afterthought to its original
counterpart, having been first written in
Innocence, it acts as a conclusion to the original
poem. The two poems both observe a young girl as
she encounters a wor...

Poem Is Written Attention To Detail
1,114 words
Ted Hughes early is said to be an observation of
the world of creatures, which in turn confronts
the behaviour and existence of humankind itself.
Write about Hawk Roosting, and The Jaguar with
reference to the above. Ted Hughes was born in
Mytholmroyd, west Yorkshire in 1930. His imagery
is vividly cruel and violent, and his ability to
convey beauty and horror, with his determination
to understand the hearts of nature and mankind has
received immediate recognition. Ted Hughes

Bruce Dawe Apology For Impatience
683 words
Apology for Impatience for Gloria. On first
reading, this poem seems quite incomprehensible.
Out of context, the poem appears to be about love
and relationships. Apology for Impatience was
written in 1963 (wife dead? ) and it was written
for Gloria, his wife. Dawe rarely uses a first
person persona and it is through his use of the
first person persona and the fact that it was
written for his wife, that leads me to believe
that Dawe was not just making a comment on love,
but on his love for Glori...

Contributing Factor William Blake
766 words
Poetry offers a wide variety of forms by which
thoughts and emotions can be expressed. The way
these poetic forms are constructed has a
significant impact on the effect each respective
poem creates. The Tyger by William Blake is a very
emotionally turbulent and deeply religious poem.
Blake utilizes several poetic devices to create
the wonderful imagery and dark mesmerizing beat.
The phonological qualities of the vocabulary of
The Tyger have connotations of power and savagery.
Alliteration unders...

Three Loved Houses First And Third Lines Poem
798 words
Elizabeth Bishops poem "One Art" tries to teach
the reader how to deal with loss. The off-handed
and ironic method of speech within the blank verse
is natural sounding and deceptively informal,
given the formal requirements of the lyric. The
poem is a villanelle, which is French, but stems
from Italian folk song. Like all villanelle's, it
has nineteen lines divided into six stanzas - five
tercets and one quatrain - turning on two rhymes
and built around two refrains. The first and third
lines rh...

E E Cummings Poetic Devices
756 words
Poetic and rhetorical devices are used to create
the tone of a poem. With a defined and structured
tone, the meaning of a poem can be more clearly
and effectively conveyed. The poem Jehovah buried,
Satan dead by E. E. Cummings has a distinct
meaning that has been heightened by its tone. The
tone is also accented through the use of
rhetorical and poetic devices. A few of these
devices include onomatopoeia, conceit, slant
rhyme, the form, sound, and repetition. Starting
with an evaluation of the m...

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

"Ariel" possesses power and importance, a certain
element of orgasmic stress to the degree to which
the horseback ride Plath once took becomes
something morea ride into the abyss of the
unknown, a stare back into the eye of the sun, an
odyssey to death, a stripping of personality and
selfhood, a sort of blatant exposition. To treat
"Ariel" as a confessional poem is to suggest that
its actual importance lies in the horse- ride
taken by its author, in the author's psychological
problems, or in its...

Who Are We to Judge Anyone? Sometimes it is easy
to form an opinion about someone based on what you
see from the outside, but by no means is this an
effective way of assessing the way someone is
inside. Just like you cannot judge a book a book
by its cover, you cannot judge a person without
getting to know them. Both Edwin Robinsons,

Citizen try to do this. Who is to say that their
analysis of the two characters is correct? The two

Red Rose is a poem written by Robert Burns, during
1796, the year of his death. The poem consists of
four stanzas; each one four lines long. The first
stanza has an exact rhyme at the end of the second
and fourth lines June and tune. The repetition of
" O, my love" in the first stanza
conjures up the idea that his love is different
from other men. His woman is so special to him
that she reminds him of a red, red rose, not just
a " plain" red rose. He uses two

The Real Road Not Taken If a person claims that
Robert Frost s poem The Road Not Taken is a
tremendous inspiration to them, they probably do
not understand the poem as well as they think they
do. The Road Not Taken could be one of the most
misunderstood poems ever written. The popular
interpretation glorifies the speaker s decision to
choose one path in a forest over another path, and
his decision being to travel the one less
traveled. This choice is usually considered a bold

popular theme for poets in the last century was
war. Many famous poems were written about the two
world wars, as well as the Korean and Vietnam

by Wilfred Owen and three by Australian poets.
Anthem for Doomed Youth, The Send Off and
Insensibility (1) were written by Owen during the
first world war to express his anti-war attitude.
