Poem Analysis: Internal Rhyme

Improved Essays
In this poem I use the strategy Internal Rhyme, each verse has 8 syllables and the whole poem has 8 lines. This poem symbolises about how some people just wander aimlessly through life not knowing what will happen next; will they be a saint, or will the lead a life of crime? I've used this formatting to show how formal some people may appear to be, which is the left side of the poem, which uses only one font. The right side represents the crumbling happiness of said person. These fonts were chosen to show the many moods they can go through, with a mind of a day to day basis. I was inspired to make this poem while examining the birds, how no one else really pays attention to the birds in the sky how if they disappeared for an hour, no one

Slam Poetry, Flag Football, and Experiential Learning all represent a personal connection between an individual and their community. When a slam poet takes the stage, whether it be in front of a thousand people or in front of one person, and clutches a microphone they become the voice of a community.…

    The true Native American culture died long ago, leaving only the aspects that white people can embrace in order to deny that they forced the death and assimilation of Native Americans. Native American culture has become lifeless culture losing everything but what the dominant culture deems to be profitable. The binding classification of being a Native American in a society where Native American culture is devalued and made into costumes forces the modern Native American to play a part in America’s romanticized Indian culture festival or to blend in with the crowd. As seen in “The Real Indian Leans Against” and “A New Story”, Native American culture has not survived because whites deem it worthless, forcing its members into assimilation and submission.…

    Humans have always wanted to be at the top, even during the Stone Age. No one in their right mind wants to be left behind or looked at in a negative light, and that is exactly what the poem Ofermod highlights in relation to human behaviour and reactions.

In this particular poem, overpride is the reaction to the negative labels that the town is trying to avoid.
