Tide Rises, The Tide Falls

Decent Essays
The reason why I pick “ The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls” was because it speaks to me and I like how decribes the darkness of the ocean in the night. I choose this poem because it's very interesting how the author explains about the waves and the foot prints. This poem relates to the real world because many people don't realize death can be around the corner and you can die just like that. Our goal isn’t to wait and die or either live forever is to live for the fullest. One part that I like is when the author says “ The traveler hastens toward the town, And the tide rises, the tide falls.” For me I see as like you have ups and downs during your lifetime and when death comes you are ready.

    Stafford writes, “the early morning breathes” in the first line and that the “air doesn’t stir” in the last line. These lines show the calmness of the morning. In addition, these lines show that the speaker’s head is clear with no worries. There is alliteration in line seven where the speakers says that his or her “arms alternate.” The repetition of the beginning “a” sound makes the action seem ordinary.…

    The poem is divided into three stanzas but it is debatable that the stanza in between the first and the last one is in fact two stanzas divided by two lines, twelve and thirteen that are indented. This indentation not only expresses the disorientation of the structure of the poem, but it also affects the reader’s flow of reading which in turn may cause them to stumble in their eye movement as they gaze at the…

    Billy Collins’ poem, “The Art of Drowning,” describes to the reader how one’s death is insignificant to the rest of society. Through the sarcastic tone and rhetorical questions, the speaker informs the reader that life will go on after one’s death, and that the act of death flashing before one’s eyes is not a real experience; death is much simpler than that. In stanza one, the speaker presents his or her thoughts on death by saying “I wonder how it all got started, this business about seeing your life flash before your eyes while you drown…” The reader easily recognizes this common phrase about death, and is aware of the speaker’s skepticism of the concept of life flashing before one’s eyes during death.…

    The poem appears like an ocean shore; the lines of the poem, emulating the back and forth motion of waves, are long, then shorten, lengthen, then shorten again, this in keeping with the mythical kingdom theme. The predominant rhythm that the poem uses is the anapest, a type of meter consisting of three syllables, with one stressed syllable occurring after two unstressed syllables (Poe's Annabel Lee). For example in the first line, the first syllable of “many” and the word “year” receive stress after two unaccented syllables, as shown here: Itwasma / nyandma / nyayear / a / go (Shmoop Editorial Team). The anapest rhythm adds excitement and a climactic aspect as it builds in momentum just as the overall structure of the poem does; they meet, they fall in love, she dies, he grieves, he accepts.…

    What people do not realize, is that life goes on after someone has died. It may not be something that they want, but after someone has passed, the sun still rises, the moon still sets hence the title of the poem, “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls.” The birds still sing in the morning, other people still mow their lawn and water it. Which is why after every stanza the author wrote, “And the tide rises, the tide falls.”…

    He dug himself out of his depression with the help of his wife, but unfortunately spiraled back down after her sudden death. To illustrate the darkness of his works, he is known as the Father of Poetic Horror, though the title is not needed, because his works are a true testament to that. He uses repetition and rhythm to state a point, while showing true emotion in his work. He uses rhyme in many of his works to show his feelings and positions on the topics he speaks about. Lastly he uses dark Irony, sometimes to antagonize people in his poems, and sometimes, to show his hatred and ill will towards characters, who in his mind transition into the real world.…

    “Do not go gentle into that good night” is both the title of Dylan Thomas’s poem and his plea that we, his audience, never submit to the peaceful escape death has to offer in the face of life’s many struggles. Rather than surrendering to death, Thomas encourages us to “rage against the dying of the light”. These two lines are repeated a total of four times each throughout the poem’s six stanza villanelle. It is through his strong reliance on repetition that we come to comprehend Thomas’s desperation within his words. It isn’t until the sixth and final stanza that we discover his desperation to be more than just pleading with his audience to fight for survival but his own father who can be found “on the sad height” of life’s end and death’s…
