Poetry Essay Writing Help

Elizabeth Bishop And Her Poem "Filling Station"
Words: 973 / Pages: 4

.... picture. This is created in large part by the oily sounds themselves. When spoken out- loud the diphthong [oi] in oil creates a diffusion of sound around the mouth that physically spreads the oil sound around the passage. An interesting seepage can also be clearly seen when looking specifically at the words "oil-soaked", "oil-permeated" and "grease-impregnated". These words connect the [oi] in oily with the word following it and heighten the spreading of the sound. Moreover, when studying the [oi] atmosphere throughout the poem the [oi] in doily and embroidered seems to particularly stand out. The oozing of the grease in the filling stati .....


Poetry: Always And Forever
Words: 393 / Pages: 2

.... love you more than me. In my heart I carry you and the essence of love, In its pure and simple form. All I have to offer you is me and my love, Though both are simple I promise they are true. Even as I write this, I think of how to describe to you. Something I hardly understand, But I must tell you how I feel. So I close my eyes, And let my heart guide my hand. Perhaps the tears that falls from my eyes, Will show you my love and how much it means to me. To me our love is everything. I believe love will find it's way and show us the answers .....


The Saginaw Song
Words: 503 / Pages: 2

.... all blended. This is a poem worth memorizing. The structure of the poem rhymes at the end of each line, while the sentences end at each quatrain. The rhyme scheme is consistent throughout the piece and each line rhymes with every other line. For example, in the first line ‘whiskey on your breath’ rhymes with ‘but I hung on like death’ on the third line. The words breath and death are dominant words that reveal a somber tone, which runs throughout the piece. In the second line, the words ‘dizzy’ and ‘easy’ are paired as sight rhymes. Although the rhyme scheme is entertaining, the late night waltz between father and son is seri .....


A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning: Love Between Two People
Words: 1092 / Pages: 4

.... a virtuous man at death. According to the speaker, “virtuous men pass mildly away” (line 1) because the virtue in their lives has assured them of glory and reward in the afterlife; hence, they die in peace without fear and emotion. He suggests that the separation of the lovers be like this separation caused by death. In the second stanza the speaker furthers his comparison for a peaceful separation. “So let us melt, and make no noise” (line 5) refers to the melting of gold by a goldsmith or alchemist. When gold is melted it does not sputter and is therefore quiet. The speaker and his love should not display their private, intimate love as .....


T.S. Eliot's "The Wasted Land"
Words: 1478 / Pages: 6

.... of plagiarism. Like Laforgue, Eliot uses dialogue between men and women that doesn't seem to communicate a thing. Other author's had an influence on Eliot as well, like Henry James and Joseph Conrad. All of these poet's had the common themes of estrangement from people and the world, isolationism, and the feeling that they were failing to articulate their thoughts (Bergonzi 7, 50, Cuddy 30, Mack 1743, Martin 41, Unger 8) . Henry James influence on Eliot's poetry is evident in the Jamesian qualities he uses. For example, the opening verse of The Waste Land ends with the Jamesian note, "I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter .....


Marlowe’s “The Passionate Shepherd To His Love”
Words: 1201 / Pages: 5

.... and poets. Unlike many Greek poems and paintings, pastoral poetry strayed from heroic tales and focused more on simpler subject matter. Description of the countryside filled the pages of a pastoral poem. The serenity and quiet experienced by the shepherds in the hills of Arcadia, was put into words. The present state of humanity was seen as an Iron Age in which humans have become degenerate. There are three main kinds of pastoral that can be identified in different works. The classical pastoral begins with a conception on man and on human nature and locates it in a specific type, the shepherd, the simplicity of whose life is the goal toward .....


Catullus
Words: 1512 / Pages: 6

.... we know of and the times that scholars can gather from the time period in his poetry, it is assumed who the real woman is. This conclusion came from his poem #79, Lesbius est pulcer. In that poem he accuses Lesbia of incestuous relations with her brother, Lesbius. The name Pulcer is a pun on the real name of Clodia’s brother, P. Clodius Pulcer. Pulcer was known not only for being a violent politician, but was also rumored to have had incestuous relations with one or more of his three sisters. All three sisters, including Clodia, were known to not have strong moral characters and acted out of the class they were born into. Although there is .....


An Analysis Of Frost's The Road Not Taken
Words: 791 / Pages: 3

.... because it is impossible not to wonder about the opportunity cost, what will be missed out on. There is a strong sense of regret before the choice is even made and it lies in the knowledge that in one lifetime, it is impossible to travel down every path. In an attempt to make a decision, the traveler "looks down one as far as I could". The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead. It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is .....


The Tyger By William Blake
Words: 857 / Pages: 4

.... conclusions regarding the actual meaning. In contrast to the images of the innocence of the Lamb (from The Lamb of Songs of Innocence), Blake’s Tyger seems to be quite “devilish.” The beast is a representation of the angry God, as it is a combination of mystery, terror, and of wrath. The contrast of the Lamb and the Tyger also resembles the idea of when a beautiful thing like love can turn into an ugly thing like hate. The Tyger is obviously a representation of evil and of darkness. In Blake’s words, it is also apparent that the Tyger is somewhat of a puzzle, or an enigma, if you will. It is a mysterious beast with unknown orig .....


Shakespeare's Sonnet Number 126: Critique
Words: 598 / Pages: 3

.... a final contrast. To elaborate on what I have just said seems unnecessary but one must assume that one's audience is completely stupid, thus the elaboration. In the first line the poet speaks of himself as being out of luck, and/or money and not well received by his fellow man. He has taken to crying about his social ostracism in line two. In an attempt to clarify for himself why he is in such a state he “ troubles” heaven with his “bootless” or useless cries. But as the poet has made clear heaven turns a deaf ear and no response is forthcoming. Again he becomes introspective and curses his fate. This first quatrain has given us a .....
