In the poem, “My Picture”, Abraham Cowley’s figurative language and melancholy diction emphasize the pain and loss that the speaker will soon experience when his beloved leaves him. Cowley uses two significant types of figurative language - imagery and hyperbole. His diction alters depending on whether the speaker refers to himself or to his beloved. Through the use of figurative language and shifting diction, Cowley effectively captures the speaker’s mournful state of mind. The imagery and hyperbole that Cowley uses to convey the speaker’s condition the day after his loved one leaves him suggests that the speaker is incapable of living without his beloved.

Both of the poems are very similar to each other and to ‘Romeo & Juliet’. All three share a theme of sadness expressed through them, and they are also about deaths of close ones. For example in ‘On my first sonne’ the author is talking about the death of his son, ‘Midterm break’ talks about the death of a younger brother, whereas Romeo and Juliet is about two young people dying in love with each other and how their family regrets later on. In ‘On My First Sonne’ this poem has a father-son relationship in which the father talks about losing his son. He thinks God has taken his son, which is explained in the second line “My sin was too much hope of thee, lov’d boy.” This tells me that this poem has a religious view and can show that the poem was written in the 16th century which was a different era where many of the citizens were very religious people.
Comparing two poems on Siblings. Brother by Andrew Forster and Sister Maude by Christina Georgian Rossetti. The two poems I am comparing are Brothers and Sister Maude. Both are about siblings, except Andrew Forster’s poem is about how he left his younger brother on his own when they were going into the town as children, and how this has affected their relationship later own in life. Sister Maude is about bitter sister rivalry and how ‘Sister Maude’ tells on her sister about her lover.
My Last Duchess - YELLOW Macbeth - GREEN ‘My Last Duchess’ by Robert Browning is a poem which deals with the imaginary character of the Duke of Ferrara. In essence, the poem is a psychological portrayal of the Duke presented to the reader as if he or she is simply listening in on a conversation. As the poem unfolds, the reader becomes aware that the Duke is talking to an envoy from his fiancée’s family in order to make final arrangements for his new marriage. Thus, the nature of the discussion seems rather strange as the Duke is standing in front of a portrait of his former wife, recounting memories of his last marriage. The fact that the reader is able to get a strong sense of what the Duke is like, is testament to Browning’s skilful use of the dramatic monologue form, coupled with effective word choice and imagery.
You’ll need a thesis. “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes is a twenty line poem containing the poetic devices of metaphor and repetition. The poem is in the form of a communication between a mother and son. By employing the language in dialect-form, Hughes conveys the rawness of feelings along with the maximum effect of empathy. In the poem mother gives advice to her son.
