For the most part Emily sticks with iambic meter throughout her poem. The meter is interrupted in the last stanza when she draws attention to the word “Stop.” She starts the line off with this word and because of its need to be emphasized or stressed the meter is forced to change. The indirect rhyme that Emily uses is very easily seen in the first two stanzas. In stanza one the word “miles” and “tanks” both end in the same consonant sound. The same goes for “up” and “step.” Stanza 2 follows this as well having “mountains” and “roads” serve as an indirect rhyme.
The shattering of classifications and stereotypes, and the subversion of traditional gender roles, and the concept of sisterhood or unity among women are among the main tenets of feminist criticism. In the words of Catherine Besley, she mentioned that the cultural construction of subjectivity is one of the central issues for feminism (qtd. in Con Davis and Schleifer, 355). All women are feminists. However, it cannot be denied that women still experience the effects
The author uses the poetic device of rhyme at the end of every line. If you start at the beginning the ending to the first line rhymes to the next consecutive line. For example, “gold and hold “, “flower and hour “, and “leaf and grief “are all rhyming pairs. In the second line of the poem the author uses alliteration when repeating to initial consonant sound “ H “ when saying “ her hardest hue “. The rhyme and alliteration in the poem help to set the rhyme scheme of the poem.
For a deep analysis alliteration take a big part in this poem, each of them is (“/ike”, “/ap”, “ick”), (“supercilious”, “shanties”, sides”), (“horrid”, hooting”). Now is the tone, for the tone in the poem I LIKE TO SEE IT LAP THE MILES is best to describe it as “playful”. Why so? It is because I fell that the writer, Emily Dickinson, uses a words that easy enough to follow which it is not stiff and not so serious. The playful tones also cover up some phrase like in the “lap the miles” and “lick the valley up”, the verbs seems to be fresh and energetic.
A simile is also used in Train’s song when it says, “Acts like summer and walks like rain” (Stanza 1, Line 3). Lastly, the use of personification gives the song the ability to be a poem. It can be seen when Train says, “Did Venus blows your mind,” in stanza 6. All of the these elements are typically found in poetry. Train’s “Drops of Jupiter” is a bitter song about the loss of a loved one could stand alone as a poem.
Millay manipulates the poem to reflect as defiance as well as the individuality of this certain speaker. The first line(and title) of the poem alone contains multiple devices used to express the authors statement. The placing of the comma in “I, being born a woman and distressed” (1) replicates a statement usually made in legal documents. The sardonic tone leads readers to conclude that the speaker believes she is a woman by birth, not by choice. Millay uses the word “distressed” as a connection to the concept that all women are helpless; hence the familiar expression “Damsel in distress” originated in the Arthurian Legends and the idea of chivalry.
The Race of Ethnicity Sandra Tirado February 12, 2014 The Race of Ethnicity In “The Welcome Table” (Walker, 1970) and “Child of the Americas” (Morales, 1986), there are both about how a person is passionate about something and are willing to do anything to get their point across. The one major similarity between a poem and a short story is tone and the one major difference is rhythm. With tone sets it is the platform for the story and/or poem. As for rhythm it is to let you feel the story and/or poem. In a poem, words are often chosen not just for their functional, text meaning, but for their sound, or feelings.
All throughout the poem, the speaker addresses this woman in a kind of mini-drama in which only one voice is heard. (Browning uses much the same technique in "My Last Duchess"). In "The Flea," however, the woman responds through her actions if not through her words, thereby making the poem even more dramatic. Some poems actually contain dialogue between two or more characters, thus making them even more dramatic in the literal sense of the word. Some of the poems in the final third of Edmund SpenserAmoretti sonnet sequence display this feature.
The tone, however, is also understanding because at the end of the poem the author suggest that over time, children learn that they’re parents can’t be perfect, and sometimes they only know how to express their love through actions instead of words, touch, or emotions II.

The speaker’s tone of admitted jealousy reveals his true feelings of devotion toward the person he is speaking to. In the poem, Shakespeare uses words such as “slave” to portray just to what degree the speaker is devoted to the listener, and this evokes images of a person’s unwavering devotion to their master. The love the speaker has for the listener is ultimately confirmed by the ironic discrepancies between the speaker’s second and
