Poem Analysis Of Poems: Weep And Gboom

Improved Essays
Though you might bear the word ‘NEW’ in your name, there is nothing really new about you and your games― we know your histories, beginnings, let alone destination, even tho’ we were not burn’: your middle name is ‘clear.’
The World certainly shall weep when your horns thunder!
No news this to men of history not dead. She lives forever, not only in the minds of those who lost loved ones so dear, but hearts who care about the final end of this fragile plain, even when they are gone! Weep not O knights and ladies in shining glamour for the honeymoon passing away—but for those horns heap’d in barracks-n-backyards that shall sweep the Horny Moon away by the click of a button like a dream!
Weep for the Boom! and Gboom! taking the lives of millions
…show more content…
Your other halves could have been there; the womb that bore and tended you for nine moons— let alone bearers of the dimming light unto a pristine horizon beyond the radars of this careless race…. Weep not for flesh and blood alone; weep for the hills and mountains; weep for the seas and forests; weep for the Sun, comets and the stars.
Weep not for the heavens alone, but our common humanity.
Weep not for humanity alone, but for our age-long heritage.
Oh, let the race of ‘New Clear Weep Horns’ race to a close; and emissaries of lofty ideals begin unveiling an eternal ring so bright that can burn away all that awaits man in the wings east and west, rendering naught every horn in the way of man; knows the Horny Moon must be tendered to outlive every age, as the Greatest Gift ever to the offspring of mankind.
So, stop the game, stop the games, alas, grinding minds, gambling with the heart of humanity like ping-pong; stop the show of mean-lit-eery power in the sky,
Crusaders of the frontlines, and let’s swiftly drift together mindful of Our Humanity and collective heritage and patrimony, just as our fathers womb of the Sea, and live in serenity and harmony once again like never in

    In the beginning of the poem, Bradstreet is sleeping during a calm and quiet night, and then suddenly, she wakes up by “thund’ring noise / And piteous shrieks of dreadful voice” (lines 3-4).

    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.…

In the line “This is what our dying looks like..” gives us as a reader the feeling that we need to believe that when something bad happens, we need to just believe that something that is there. The poem is about someone trying to kill themselves. It happens in the line, “he let the gun go off in his mouth.” Then, all of a sudden, the bad side of the person in the poem comes out.…

    This entire stanza paints a picture of tranquility and calm amidst the chaos of war. The image of the poppies among the crosses tells a story of past pain and suffering turned to peace and rest. This stanza begins with this calm setting and then is harshly contradicted by the very last line “scarce heard amid the guns below” (McCrae). This shows the reader that even with the painful memories of the past, it is possible to view the world in a more positive light. Though there is death in this world, life and beauty can also be found and appreciated.…

    The Victims Poem Analysis

    • 1110 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Upon initial reading, “The Victims” by Sharon Olds seems to be a poem that paints the picture of a life of abuse; starting from the dawning of the exploitation and arching over into the life of the abused following the maltreatment. In the work, it is made to be believed that the clear victims of the poem are the speaker and their family—which is a rightful and obvious assumption—but there is another victim that is not as prevalent as that of the speaker and their family: the speaker’s father. After a second read, it is made evidently apparent that although the work does focus on the speaker and their family as the victims of the poem, the ideal that the father is also a victim is explored. Since the father is depicted as an abuser, it is seen…

    The first poem i studied is "Moring Song", i agree that this poem is intense, deeply personal and quite disturbing. This poem is a positive, celebration of Plaths daughter. This poem is very personal as its a poem about her feelings and how she felt nervous after the birth of her first child, "In a drafty museum, your nakedness shadows our safety. We stand around blankly as walls". It also is a disturbing poem as she is focused on her body image just after having a baby comparing herself to a cow, "cow-heavy".…

    Bishop describes “Four Poems” as “fragmentary,” but considers “that together they made a sort of emotional sequence” (Giroux, 308). Though there is no narrative, at least not one consciously thought up by Bishop, the emotions of the poem easily convey important faucets of her life like sexuality and love. Often, this poem is discussed as Bishop viewed it with fragmented looks at each aspect of the poem rather than the poem itself. While it is useful to do this, since poems are often broken down to be better understood, it is important to remember that Bishop connected these poems for a reason; it is important to understand each faucet of the poem but also how they relate and rely on each other.…

    From rereading this poem “The Tyger” by William Blake multiple times. I can see that this poem is all about him asking this majestic, beast which resembles a tiger, many different questions about it. To start off, this poem is using four quatrains which contains two rhyming couplets in each. It also contains seven syllables in each line besides for this phase “Could frame thy fearful, symmetry” which contains eight syllables in it. Here the rhyming couplets are used as a sense of repetition, which reinforce the idea of this strong, majestic beast.…

    ‘Man marched asleep’ and ‘Drunk with fatigue’ are used to resemble the suffers of night less sleep and turmoils the soldiers were put through. Within ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’ a powerful metaphor ‘The pallor of girls’ brows shall be their pall; Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds’ is used to express the ideas of the women sitting in their homes or graves after their loved ones had been buried, with sorrowful expressions on their faces. ‘Each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds’ can be interpreted as a cloth being draped over the coffins and taking them into darkness. ‘The Solider’ incorporates the phase ‘A pulse in the eternal mind’, as the fallen soldiers that will only be a memory…
