Her poetry is most well known for depicting her emotions and life story in a creative way.

    In his short poem “To Waken an Old Lady,” William Carlos Williams writes about the disturbing subject of old age by representing old age through a series of actions that are typical of birds. Furthermore, the narrator 's use of figurative language and poetic structure contributes to the horrifying idea that death is bound to happen. Essentially, the speaker makes an attempt to show that the difficulties of old age shouldn’t leave a person feeling hopeless for life. The poem begins with the metaphor “old age is/ a flight of small/ cheeping birds” which puts forth the idea that old age can be illustrated through birds (lines 1-3).…

    “Fishhawk” was the first poem of the Classic of Poetry, the earliest poetry collection of East Asia (p.1322). In contrast to many poems in the “Airs of Domain” that propagated Confucianism, “Fishhawk” is a simple love poem. The poem revolves around a young man who was “tormented by his desire for a girl”(p.1322). While this poem is labeled as a “romantic folk song”(p.1322), the good use of literary elements, syntax, and language added a bit of tint to the love story.…

    The romanticised concept of the shepherd epitomises this, living in the cycle of the seasons, particularly spring, a season of rebirth, vitality and virility. This is in direct contrast to the life which historical evidence suggests that Marlowe led and is, perhaps, a poem and a dream, and an escape from reality. The Nymphs Reply to the Shepard tells how love will not and cannot last if based on false and unrealistic romanticism. Raleightakes the opposite view to the one expressed by Marlowe, although it is likely that the opinion that Marlowe states is not his true one.…

    E.J. Pratt’s poem “Erosion”, though short, is filled with many details that enhance the poem’s meaning. From the visual and the structural appearance of the poem to the many literary devices used, Pratt allows the reader’s mind wander to find the images of oceans, waves and time passing by. This poem is very complex and therefore the focus on this analysis will be on the visual representation of the poem and the sophisticated metaphor used to describe aging. Starting with the visual aspect of the poem, Pratt uses a pattern of line length to imitate the visual aspect of waves hitting their mark and then shrinking away. This represents “the sea” (1) which, although are usually assumed to be associated with inconsistency and unpredictability, in this poem takes a different meaning.…

    The Raven is Grief “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe enforces deep sadness and grief upon the reader through literacy context that somehow persuades one’s feelings to agree with the character’s own. From the beginning of the poem, the mood is set instantly to start this unoptimistic tale. Grief, despair, sadness, depression, all of these emotional touches begin to impact the main character. The poem references the raven which casts a shadow over a majority of the story, symbolizing the emotions and realizations of the character. Although the raven is seemingly an actual creature, it is actually a metaphor to represent the character’s grief throughout the poem.…

There is always a give and take, a compromise even, nevertheless when it gets to the point of wanting to change a person that is when a line has been crossed eventually, it can be degrading. Warsen Shire’s “For Women Who Are ‘Difficult’ To Love,” illustrates how there are relationships that women feel that need to modify or mold themselves in a way to appease their partner in what they perceive as to be the “ideal woman.” In the first two lines, Shire writes, “you are a horse running alone, and he tries to tame you.”…
