Edgar Allen Poe demonstrates in his written works of “Lenore”, “Annabel Lee”, and “To Helen” an element that seemingly attempts to give the reader exceptional emotional sadness. Poe does this by telling the poem in a point of view where a man tells the story of the death or remembrance of a young love or woman. He also puts a sense of gloom in each of his poems. This allows for the reader to create a mental image if the setting, without him having to directly point it out. As well, the gloominess of his poetry could also be due to his longing effect of sadness that he attempts to express.

In the poem “To Helen” the author used beauty as a form of diction to show his fascination towards the character. In the beginning of the poem the author used the word “beauty” to describe how the speaker saw Helen. The author as well used the word “Psyche” towards the ending of the poem to emphasize Helen’s beauty since “Psyche” means beautiful princess dear to god. The purpose was to emphasize and show the speakers’ admiration and obsession towards Helen. The tone in this poem is peaceful and graceful for when the author says ”Thy Naiad airs have brought me home” signifies that Helen’s beauty is peaceful and gentle and her air can just take him home.
The rhyming in this poem is very well structured and continues in the same fashion throughout the poem, e.g. “time...crime”, “way...day.” The fact that the rhyme scheme lasts throughout the entire poem is a parallel to the way that the speaker’s love for “his coy mistress” endures. This engages the reader’s feelings because since the rhyme scheme is so dependable and trustworthy, there is sincerity in his expression of his pure love for her, even though the poem is mostly about his lust and desire. This reminds us that behind all of the lust and fantasy, there is an enduring love for the
This links in with the idea of fate, as fate can’t be organised or forced to follow specific rules, just like a free verse poem. The use of formal diction suggests that the speaker of this poem is a knowledgeable and wise person who knows about both the lives of the two characters talked about in the poem. The poem suggests that the speaker is excited about the two lovers meeting and thinks they are destined to be together. Throughout the poem there is a very joyful tone, which is created by the positive outlook of the speaker and also the imagery used by the poet. Due to this poem being free verse, the use of imagery is less than most other poems, however the poet still creates a scene in your mind through imagery, but also with the use of figurative language.
After a Death by Roo Borson 410182017 王彥翔 I think this poem is absolutely stunning because of the vivid imagery that is set up in such a simple short poem. I like this poem because it sets up such a strong feeling of sadness and comfort in only eight lines. Although she doesn’t directly tell us she has truly lost someone, we can obviously observe that the speaker uses a chair for a metaphor of the girl’s love toward the lost lover. However, the speaker doesn’t exactly explain her love. In the poem, "her love" may be talking about her father or a lover because the poem is unclear.
Poets through the ages have been esteemed as possessing the ability to perceive the ordinary in extraordinary and innovative ways. Poetry captures the essences of human emotion and experience and imbues them with further significance by the literary techniques that typify poetry as the language of art. In her poetry, Gwen Harwood explores many thematic concerns that resonate with her readers regardless of their contexts.

The poetic techniques employed by Harwood effectively communicate distinctive aspects of her themes while allowing them to remain universal.

In both The Nights Tale and The Millers Tale by Chaucer, female beauty is expressed dominantly. Also in some aspects both poems could be referred to as exploring superficial love, due to the men being overwhelmed with the beauty of women. This is displayed within The Nights Tale as Palamon questions whether the woman before him is “womman or goddesse” after seeing her across the yard. Thus this demonstrates Chaucers use of superficial love as Palamon presumes her as being more than human only dues to her beauty. Furthermore, elements of superficial love are also in The Millers Tale, as Absolon loves Alisoun due to her “goddess corpus”.
