Hi Harvinder !: Poem Analysis

Decent Essays
Hi Harvinder!

Your descriptions for your two poetic forms were very informative and really gave me a sense on how to create both a couplet and a clerihew. I also like how you included the Harry Potter poem example in your explanation of how form affects theme. That was a smart choice because it allowed for better understanding. I really enjoyed your humorous approach to your cherihew poem and your details and images in your couplet.

Great job!

Here is my example of a Couplet:

A walk in the forest is filled with peace

As your struggles and stress begin to decrease

A new world has opened, filled with tall bark

And animal footprints that leave a faint mark

Your senses start to open as you continue to walk

Across the carpeted ground

    Many poets use enjambment as a tool to get the audience interested, keep them tantalized with each line, until the final gasp of words at the very end. Enjambment is the continuation of lines, usually without punctuation marks, and can be used to surprise the audience with the turn of the next line. It can give a poem a natural and unpredictable flow that can be quite alluring. In Sharon Olds’ poem, “Poem of Thanks,” there are multiple enjambments and great examples of the craft for the purpose of keeping the reader captivated with the storyline. Specifically, for this annotation, I will focus on the beginning lines (1-3), the in between lines ending with pronouns/articles (7,10, 11, 12), and the last three lines (25-27).…

    The first poem I wrote for this collection was Depression. Originally, it was very narrative so it took a while for me to decide whether to make the basic concept into a poem or story. Eventually I decided on writing a poem as I didn’t have much experience with writing poetry so I saw it as a personal challenge. I realised the original concept was not very cohesive, so I wrote a rough storyline to work through in order to make the piece more cohesive.…

    As I read essential information needed in order to compose an efficient poem of high quality, I decided that it requires a lot of work and dedication. It needs to be tailored to meet specific requirements. Most poems must include a tension of opposites in which there are two contradictory views. It must contain a wise choice of words that “POP” a load of figurative language that enables the readers to be able to mentally illustrate. A really short poem that captured my attention and triggered my fear of composing a poem was “Grand Central,” by Billy Collins.…

    Being an editor for my publication Unnamed Trademarked Patent Pending has its up and its downs but writing an anthology for Gwendolyn Brookes, Sherman Alexie, Lucille Clifton, Sylvia Plath and Gary Soto was eye opening. These are some of the best poets that I have had the opportunity to read and appreciate in my lifetime. The diversity among the bunch was very fulfilling, from poetry about racial tension, native American culture, women empowerment, depression to young love. Initially the poems were picked at random but I think they came together perfectly by balancing each other out and ending with fiery.…

    It is official, I have taken my first poetry class, in a way I wanted to explore my poetic side while also learning new techniques and elements that I can take to the future classes I will teach. Many times, I have heard that poetry is a joke or that it is dead thanks to music, but I strongly disagree. Poem’s are meant to be this lovely little pieces that are fresh, healthy, and unique. This is something I have learned as this semester progressed. Some of my poem have had some blandness due to being cliché or lack of language.…

    This connection ties together that piece of the poem, connecting both the words and the structure in the piece. It also has a strong effect on the reader by making another abrupt change in the middle of the poem. The beginning was one whole sentence, one whole idea, until it just stopped. But, again connecting her style and techniques ot her ideas, Teasdale continues the poem, much as she believes the world does, regardless of any conflict or…

    A poem has many different ingredients, and like Chef Remy in Ratatouille, a poet has to gracefully blend these different elements of poetry together. Together, these create the different dimensions and aspects that a poem consists of. Each individual element of poetry plays a significant role and brings something unique to the poem, impacting the reader in a certain way. Some elements serve the purpose of conveying a more vivid picture to the reader while others create a different effect, such as causing the reader to pause and think. I will be exploring the ubiquitous elements of personification, imagery, and irony.…

    The tremulous light of poetry had shimmered inside me since middle school. I wanted to express all my emotions somehow. I didn’t have the best grammar and I didn’t always set up the storyline right. Being alone behind my four walls had blocked the negativity from the outside world; therefore, I didn’t care if what I wrote was illiterate. It was my form of medication to ease my throbbing mind to feel a release, so I continued to do it.…
