Review Of The Poem 'The Great Outdoors'

The Great Outdoors

The sweet smell
Of the outdoors
Melts to my nose.
Flowers bloom
As the wind brushes
Against the beds
And fades
Into the mist.
Trees sway
As butterflies dance
In the soothing wind.
Bushes rustle
While ladybugs scamper
Over the leave.
Cattails kneel
In the breeze,
While birds chirp
From their nest
High up in the apple tree.
How sweet that all of this
Belongs to me.

    We shared sad smiles as we bid goodbye to the beloved tree. We walked about a mile up the path when we finally decided to take a food break. We spread out the blanket and laid on it looking up at the same canopy of branches above us, the only noise heard now is the running creek and the beautiful soundtrack the forest makes. The chirps coming from various different bird almost seem to synch together in perfect harmony, the other random noises like a falling branch or a yelp was it’s bassline. Everything working together to make a beautiful song.…

    All year the mountains are amazing; I never get bored because every season brings new activities that I love including hiking, biking, rafting, snowshoeing, skiing, horseback riding, rock climbing, and camping. Mountain sports and the raw beauty of the mountains fuel my love for the beautiful place I’ve grown up in. Being with my family or my closest friends in the mountains doing almost any activity out doors would easily describe the most perfect day that I wouldn't trade for anything else. The mountains always manage to keep my attention; in the winter they are white and sparkling, the spring they are green with flowers everywhere, the summer they are leafy and so pleasant, and then when fall arrives and there is every color you can imagine it is so vibrant and mind blowing. No matter the season, regardless of who I’m with, being in the mountains is always the place I love most and will never take for granted…

    When it says, “And the sick may forget to weep”, to me that means others are not happy, and wish they were not so sad; depressed. To me, “But we may not enter in”, that is just like saying they don’t fit in with others, they can’t fit in. “That is hard by the Sea of Dreams”, this is just saying it is hard to dream what you’ve wanted; it’s hard to have your dreams come true.…

    The poem "Theme for English B", by Langston Hughes is written in 1951, before the civil rights movement. Throughout the poem, Hughes is very nonchalant as he discusses the theme of racism as well as what it means to be "free". As he discusses race many think he is very "soft" when there was much to be angry about during this time period. I believe the poem is still very effective and the fact that he does not display anger makes it even more significant. Even though he is not angry, he does display other emotions throughout the piece because Langston Hughes writes in a unique style.…

For example, he uses “Maybe”, “darkness”, “scared”, and “cry for help” many times in his poem. When he uses these words and phrases he uses them to express doubt and fear about his life and what he’s supposed to be doing with it.…

    A poem exhibiting an extended metaphor clarifies the two objects that are being compared by using figurative language and other writing techniques. “Nature,” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, is an example of this type of poem as it compares mother nature and a human mother as caretakers of humanity. Through explicating this poem, it is easy to see the theme that death is inevitable and that nature brings people to rest just as a mother leads her child to bed after a long day; Longfellow uses figurative language, attitude, and a Petrarchan style sonnet to show the comparison between how nature and mothers nurture their “children” in different ways. “Nature” depicts the nurturing side of mother nature and of human nature and shows the indecisiveness…
