Thomas Rogers Poem

Decent Essays
If love is blind, I have been greeted by the darkness since the day I’ve met Thomas Rogers. When we were younger Mr. Rogers was sweet and kind, he always put others before himself. I loved him through everything. I loved him even after the days, when he would take his stress and anger out on me. I loved him. But he didn’t love me. They say everyone is different behind closed doors and Thomas was one of them. He always fooled me, he would always apologize and promise he would not repeat himself and I believed him. When someone is desperate for love they chose to ignore the bad and cling to the happy, even if there's barely anything to hold onto. I wish I could’ve been more independant and leave before everything became too much, but I was too

    This book has taught me so much about how true love never fails no matter what happens. The little things in life matter more than the big things. Also that you should never judge someone by their appearance because they are different inside the things you can’t see with a human naked eye, you have to get to know that person to find the truly special, ideal things inside with the loving warm caring hearts. “People die, but love doesn’t,” I learned that even if people pass away there is still that true love that never escapes the hearts of people that are still here on earth. Just like when Marguerite passed away Eddie still loved her with all his heart and the same goes for Marguerite that even when she was in heaven.…

    Robin Coste Lewis’ poem “ From: To:” is English sonnet with 14 lines divided into quatrains and ending with two couplets. Lewis eschews the conventional rhyme scheme of the English sonnet and instead favors the use of enjambments to add nuance to the poem. The speaker of the poem is a narrator because they describe a marginalized group of people who are given temporary permission to have a voice. This is done through the use of poetic devices, imagery, and allusions to past outrages in order to elucidate a picture in which hypocrisy, ignorance, and complacency all combine to form a piece of propaganda.…

    In the poem,"Minerva Jones" by Edgar Lee Masters ,he writes about the sad life of an old crippled lady who was hated. I learned that this person is a writer of poetry and isn 't very pleasant looking from how Masters describes her. The person she speaks about in the poem are "Butch" Weldy and Doctor Meyers, who have different poems of their own as well. " Butch" Weldy is the one that hunts down Minerva (Goddess of Wisdom) and Doctor Meyers is the one that attempts to save her. The poet lets us know that small-town America is very judgmental because you can say that those who were wise were the ones being judged("hunts") by their appearance and their beliefs.…

    From the Spoon River Anthology, the poem "Minerva Jones" by Edgar Lee Masters, in the epitaph, the speaker introduced a woman named Minerva Jones who is a poetess.

    The speaker's initial feelings towards poetry was distasteful. Mrs. Moore, starts off her poem with "I, too, dislike it" (Line 1) after this reading this section of the poem, you may assume she dislikes poetry, but, if you continue to read the rest of the quotation she carries on to say "there are things that are important beyond this fiddle". (Line 1). It's clear to see her first reaction to poetry has changed from disliking to all poetry, to her understanding the true meaning behind the poetry. The speaker has, also, developed a new understanding after she evaluated a poem which did in fact change her entire stance on what poetry is.…

    Sometimes an individual’s desires cause them to face internal suffering. The poem “For That He Looked Not upon Her” by sixteenth-century English poet George Gascoigne explores this idea through illustrating the reasoning of why a man cannot look into the eyes of the women he once loved anymore. Gascoigne portrays the man in the poem as being hopeless and unable to unhook himself from the passion he has for the women which mesmerized him. Gascoigne depicts his hopelessness, and rather bleak almost cautious outlook on love after coming out of a bad relationship through the use of diction.…

    Personal Response The Story We Know by Martha Collins is a poem I think many people could find relatable to everyday life of all ages, but espcially in young adults. There are youth with this concept that their lives should be a certain way in which they all end up being similar to each other with social media, friends and even their admiration of celeberites. Collins writes, “ In the end, this is a story we know so well we don’t turn the page, or look below the picture, or follow the words to the next line,” which seems to really convey the similatries of teenagers who have become obssesed with social media and fitting in, that they don’t look beyond the familiar actions that they and other youth do continously.…
