A poet relies on his feeling to convey the current situations that they are in. Poets usually allow their emotions to drive their words and it allows their thoughts to flow. Poetry is like a playground where poets can explore their inner thought and question everything. Its their view of the world that allows them to paint us a picture of their dreams, aspirations and nightmares that they have encountered. What makes it so effective is that they allow the raw emotion to drive the delivery of their words.
William Carlos Williams makes great use of several elements in the presentation of the poem. Some of these elements are language, form and content. First of all I was greatly attracted to the aspect of content. The author chose to narrow down to old age as the essential content of the poem. Actually it activated me as I read through the poem.
With a few elements like symbolism, tone, and imagery allowed me engage in a truly interesting poem about young love. The memorable experiences in life are the ones worth exploring. The use of descriptive words in “Oranges” by Gary Soto is what really kept me intrigued throughout the poem. Reference Clugston, R. W. (2010). Journey into literature.
In the poem “Introduction to Poetry” by “Billy Collins”, language techniques are used, including similes, metaphors and extended metaphors. These features are used to contribute to the overall meaning of the poem, which is to enjoy poetry for what it is rather than trying too hard to find the hidden meaning of poems. In the opening stanza of the poem, a simile is used to compare a poem to a colour slide. The speaker says: “I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a colour slide.” When you hold a slide up to the light, you can see the detail and meaning of it. This relates back to the main idea of the poem, and not trying too hard to find the hidden meaning of poems.
The physical, social and historical context of a poet’s life forms the basis of their ideas. This is evident in John Foulcher’s poems ‘Martin and the Hand Grenade’, ‘Loch Ard Gorge’ and ‘Harry Wood’. Foulcher effectively includes the concepts of people and society, nature and death in his poems, developing these ideas from the context in which he lives. The people who surround John Foulcher have influenced his poems. Foulcher is a poet, but also a teacher.

Textual Integrity of Slessor The representation of textual integrity in the poetry of Kenneth Slessor is ultimately the aspect that captivates the reader. The representation of memories, time, life and death in Slessor’s ‘Elegy in a Botanic Gardens’, ‘Five Visions of Captain Cook’ and ‘Sleep’ through their construction, content and language is significant in appealing to their reader’s senses generally, with also the references of individual readings. Slessor’s representation of the reality of Time and how it is relentless allows the readers to be captivated by his awareness that Time continues and will move past us whether we want it to or not. Paul Grover extracts that “Slessor’s rich verbal textures” through his unusual and contrasting patterns of imagery all serve to accentuate the “intensity of his ideas and his unrelenting exploration of life and death, Time and change” to provide his desire to make them worth having; don’t waste what Time gives you and just live it desirably. To achieve the persistency of Time, Slessor uses a study in contrast of the chronometers in ‘Five Visions of Captain Cook’ to show that despite their difference in how they keep time with the personified Kendal “Climbing out of Yesterday” and Arnold always “hurried with a crazed click click”, both shows that Time will move on and as it goes on, we will as well.
I feel like this poem should be read behind a podium by the person who wrote it. I would also consider this poem a visual poem because I get certain flashes of the topics and people talked about in it from time to time. This is very deep poem if you have knowledge of the different subjects being asked about. I WILL NOT "APOLOGIZE", I WILL NOT "RESIGN!" The essay talks about the effect the poem had on certain people and
Mid-Term Break There are many forms of self expression in life. People use poetry to convey opinions, feelings, actions, experiences, and memories. Seamus Heaney meaningfully captures the painters vision in “Mid-Term Break” with the use of strong dialogue and imagery to convey emotions as they come alive off the page guiding you through his journey of acceptance. It is unapparent the nature of the poem by the title so Heaney slowly feeds the reader important pieces of the poet’s account to develop an implicit understanding of the unfolding event. Within the first stanza the poet uses specific diction to convey the theme of the poem.
The poem “Annabel Lee” was interesting and well written. Throughout reading the poem the raw emotions felt by Edgar Allen Poe as he was creating this poem were clear. Even though Edgar Allen Poe’s feelings were clear there are many questions that remain in regard to the poem such as did he write the poem about his lost love, Virginia, did he write it about the loss of his mother, or did he write the poem as a way to pay off a debt he owed? This essay will be broken down into three parts. It will describe my initial reactions after reading the poem, my analysis of the poem, and my feelings after reading Harold Blooms analysis of the poem.
