* There is a lot of rhyming in the poem, which is to be expected in a song form. It doesn’t follow a regular pattern, in the same way that the structure is irregular. It is usually end rhyme, and the 'ee' sound of “"chapatti"”, “"chutney"” and “"Punjabi"” tends to dominate. This use of rhyme gives a swing to the poem, and speeds up the metre. Towards the end of the poem, in the stanzas set at night, rhyme disappears and the metre slows down, appropriate to the intimate feeling of the most affectionate section of the poem.
“My Papa’s Waltz” was composed about a young boy and his father and written in a very rhythmic form. The persona of this poem was very simple to identify with. Roethke used the term “I” throughout this piece. With the author using first person, it allowed me, as a reader, to relate to the poem how Roethke had intended his readers to relate. “The whiskey on your breath” (Clugston, My Papa’s Waltz, para.
The words in this poem were very easy to understand. One phrase that really stood out for me was, “Where thoughts serenely sweet express how pure, how dear their dwelling place.” Images: Did the poet create strong images?

In the opening line of the first stanza, the “B” in “boom” recalls the “B” in “brought”.
Adolescent Love Pamela Sanders ENG 125 Prof. Mary Louise Phillips Becker December 19, 2011 Adolescent Love Poetry is basically what poet’s see and experience in life. In order to respond to poetry the reader must experience or connect with the emotion that the author displays in a poem. The poem “Oranges” by Gary Soto displays elements of symbolism, imagery, and tone that were engaging for me as a reader to be interested in this poem.

So this is a celebration of how men and women relate to each other in the 2000s." Melodically, there are also similarities in the use of mostly short notes, with some sustained notes – in the unidentified work, there are sustained trills, while in “Hey Ya!” there are sustained notes at the end of every phrase that undergo some augmentation in pitch and intensity. The melody of “Hey Ya!” is felt in 6 bar phrases, with the 4th bar of every phrase undergoing a meter change from simple quadruple to simple duple time. This metric pattern is repeated throughout the piece. The supporting parts have a similar feeling to those of the unidentified work,
What in the world is a lilting house, you ask? Well, lilting is an old school style of Gaelic singing, but it can refer to anything with a cheerful, happy tone. * So was the house singing? Well, maybe not literally, but with this personification, the speaker is setting the mood for the rest of the poem. Things are good.
Wordsworth also constantly personifies the daffodils throughout the poem "I saw a crowd, a host" "dancing" "tossing their heads". By giving the daffodils human qualities and comparing himself to nature, Wordsworth is creating a link between man and nature, and implying that they are at unity. The line "A poet could
