The theme of my poetry is the beauty of nature. I chose this topic because I truly believe that the nature in this world is beautiful. I’ve visited many places free from human interactions, and one thing is the same about all these places. It’s a scene you can never forget. Although these places are undeniably beautiful, people still feel the need to colonize these places. They litter, they build factories, they burn down forests. No matter how wonderful these places look, humans find a reason to destroy nature. I chose nature in my story because it really affects us all and it’s very important, whether we believe it or not. In my cover page, I chose that picture because that was the first picture that really captivated me and started my interest in the gems of the world. …show more content…
I selected that picture to represent my poetry anthology because it had a big impact on me. In my poems, I chose the type of writing in “Mother” to put a new perspective into the reader. The focus of that poem was to show our abuse we do to the world’s nature. “She gave us air, and food, and home, That's not enough we humans scream;” I was looking to create an effect of remorse in the reader, as well as a sense of urgency for action. In “Elements” I chose that style of writing to emphasize how the elements in our nature really impacted and helped us. “The gurgling of a brook, With its healing touch”. I used personification in my poems to create a vivid image in the reader’s head. I also emphasized the importance and usefulness of the elements in my poem. To start my poem writing process, I looked up HD pictures of nature on Google and stared at them until an idea popped up in my brain. My goal in my poetry anthology was to show the beauty of nature, while emphasizing the need for

    I chose to write about Frank Lloyd Wright’s house, Falling Water. At my funeral, I want people to know that I chose this piece of art because it was how I wanted to live my life. Sturdy and firm but lost in a forest of life and nature. The architecture of the house represents the different changes in my life and how the light that shines through the house, tells a story about no matter which way I turned or how bad it was, there was always a way to see through it. The water that rushes underneath represents how I had tranquility with my life as well as almost disconnecting to the outside world.…

    Since the beginning of time, all of mankind has depended on the land for basic survival-such as the “Bare Necessities.” However, man began to stray away from “al-naturale” by finding any way to control nature and use it to their advantage. Therefore, over time, the relationship between man and nature grew despondently, just as Richard Louv emphasizes in his excerpt, the “Last Child in the Woods.” Louv stresses that the loss of nature will hit home in present and future generations by using an anecdote, rhetorical logos, and a sense of nostalgia through pathos.…

Written by the opposite gender, and only twenty years apart, both poems share the same outlook on gender inequality: women are less superior to men. Sexton uses the symbol of a witch to portray the view that women hold offensive power, and Kees’s fake daughter expresses that girls are inferior to men.…

As humanity’s materialism expands and mankind naïvely rejects and grows ever distant from nature, it loses and finds alternatives for the simplistic beauty of nature. Nature is the narrator and is calling for a reunion with mankind. Upon knowing the comfort that nature provides humanity with, nature attempts to remind man of the simplistic pleasures by calling out, “I know my sunshine pleases/ Despite thy wayward will” (11,12).…

This poem, consisting of sixteen lines, mainly recounts the observations made by the poet in London. These observations made either through hearing or seeing tells of the human suffering in London and conditions of London.
