If in columns, read the left one first and down, then to the top of the right. Outside
Breaking shadows, cracking dawn
Mother bird composes her song
Bright, white light casts its shade
On firm, strong trees proudly made

Relief from heat, in waters blue
That rushing rivers flow into
Creeping spiders find their rest
Within the oaks where sparrows nest

Golden wheat, swaying gaily
Worms burrowing casually
Land forms roam unthinkingly
Chickadees laugh carelessly

Thunder cracks, lighting booms
Sweet, the rain perfumes
Colossal raindrops hit dirt in plumes of dust
Seek shelter little

It has three lines for each stanza and the rhyming scheme is ABA, ABA. I was a little hungry here, so it influenced my writing. I wanted detail and visuals, but tongue in cheek. There are a lot of sensory details in this poem, which is the literary term I used for this.
Vows
Do you say “I do”?
Yes, I do, I do, I do
Bless you!

This poem is a modern haiku with the syllables, 5 7 2. I came up with this one when I was falling asleep, and I think it’s pretty funny.

True Identity
I look like a whale
I am a whale!

The true identity of Natalie Klassen is a whale lol jk, but truly, this is an amazing couplet and it speaks a lot about how humans view themselves. They think, oh, I’m just a stupid human, but really, humans are awesome, and so we should be happy about who we are.

Or perhaps you may resolve to step on the ship
To travel and see your family once again, whom you miss.
Would you rewind back to the day,
When you uttered something you shouldn’t say
Would you redesign, and follow your dreams
And fix, patch and sew all broken seams.
Might you embrace your simple education,
And give your learning as a donation
Maybe you would build a magic ship.
To fly to people you dearly miss.
If you could choose to redo, to make up for a day
Which one would you choose, what different would you say?
Is it really necessary to hope for the past,
When what you do in the future, is really what will last?

This poem is a narrative poem about how some people have regrets in life, and they constantly wish to change them. This poem asks the reader what they’d like to change, but in the end, states that what you’ve done is done, and to make a better life for yourself, think of the future, and not the past
Now you see me
Now you don’t
How is the game played?
It isn’t

You don’t have a choice
To play or not
To join to fall apart
That’s the ways it is

Around the river
Round and round
The river that never stops
The thoughts that never stop

It’s not your mind
The mind of pain
Agony
It’s not your

    The art of poetry is a vast discipline in which the creations of the poets take on a multitude of different forms. Not only are there a large number of poetic structures that an author can choose from, there are also many parts within those structures that can be modified to lead to an even more diverse array of final products. The author has a great many choice when it comes to choosing the structure of their poem, they can vary the number of lines per stanza, the length of each line, and the number of syllables per line. Other variations the poet can make include content changes such as choosing to use rhyming words, repeated sounds like alliteration, and figurative devices such as personification. Even in poetry forms with strict guidelines,…

    The poem “Bananas on Fire: The Virgin’s Guide to Surviving Automatic Heat Death” was written by Isiah Fish and appeared in the 2013 edition of the Zephyrus, Western Kentucky University’s creative writing publication. This poem is incredibly well done with many strengths and only one weakness as far as I can see. It is about the innocence and perversion of youth, the loss of virginity later in life, and even the future beyond. Fish’s writing style and frank diction speak directly to the college audience. I believe this poem is one of best poems, if not the best one, in the publication.…

    Remorseful Interpretations The poems that will be compared to one another throughout this paper include, “What I Did Wrong” by Marie Howe, and “Poem of Regret for an Old Friend”, by Meghan O’Rourke.

    The poem appears like an ocean shore; the lines of the poem, emulating the back and forth motion of waves, are long, then shorten, lengthen, then shorten again, this in keeping with the mythical kingdom theme. The predominant rhythm that the poem uses is the anapest, a type of meter consisting of three syllables, with one stressed syllable occurring after two unstressed syllables (Poe's Annabel Lee). For example in the first line, the first syllable of “many” and the word “year” receive stress after two unaccented syllables, as shown here: Itwasma / nyandma / nyayear / a / go (Shmoop Editorial Team). The anapest rhythm adds excitement and a climactic aspect as it builds in momentum just as the overall structure of the poem does; they meet, they fall in love, she dies, he grieves, he accepts.…
