The poem “No Longer A Dream But Reality” by Rylee Bishop is about an event that happened in the speakers life a long time ago. The speaker seems to think that she has a lot of time with her lover, only to realize later that the time they had together was short lived. The poem takes on a reminiscent tone as the speaker reflects with their lover. As the reader, we read about how the speaker longs for their lover’s sweet embrace and their kiss on their lips. (Bishop, 4). There’s a lot of visual aid conveyed throughout as the speaker describes the relationship between the lovers like a galaxy and supernova. (Bishop, 11).

The poem “Always Are You” is about the speaker admiring the beauty of a lady and telling her to notice the beauty within herself. Line 1 begins with, “Always clothed in dignity, are you” here we see a description of the person whom the speaker is addressing. The speaker describes the lady that is dressed with dignity, but goes on to state that the lady knew that she was lovelier than the occasion. In line 3 we see that there’s a connotation in the word “But still” implying that even though the speaker is able to see the beauty of this lady, that the lady doesn’t. We see the speaker pleading with the lady in line 5. The speaker desperately wants the lady to see how beautiful she truly is. The tone of the poem changes as the speaker stops focusing on the lady’s outward beauty, but instead directs us to focus on her inward beauty. Lines 7 and 8, the speaker tells the lady to look at herself in the mirror. The speaker wants the lady to realize how much the Lord has changed her. Lines 9 and 10 describe the lady again as graceful and tasteful, which we see figurative language being portrayed yet again. In line 11 we see a reference to scripture, almost as if the speaker were reassuring the lady that she does display fruit. The last line of the poem ends with the speaker telling the lady that she’s a light to everyone she comes across. This poem is poignant as the speaker not only marvels at the beauty of the lady, but is able to see the work that her Maker is doing in
