Banshee's Poem

Improved Essays
You are fierce and unapologetic. You raise Hell and bring forth thunder when you speak with booming words of such profane ideas and insane thoughts. You’re like lightening hitting the sand and ocean during an outrageous storm, you send waves of pure shock through crowds that are silent and dull.
You’re like a drug that pumps through the veins of your victims, making them want more and more of you. You pull them in with your coy and curious ways, never giving straight answers when asked. You catch them within snares, but they have no desire to escape the traps you’ve set for them because you have such power over them and people tend to adore that. Power and prestige.

You make others crawl and fight and push just to get one more taste of you and your electric presence. You make them go wild just as a wolf would when presented with fresh, raw meat. They will rip apart your skin and throw it away for the crows to pick away at even more. They will attack you, pounce and pin you down and tear your heart out hoping to keep it for themselves. The bright red blood will be washed down the drain and the people will now finally have something to hold onto.
They will then hear voices within their minds, they will be filled up with singing and screaming. Not knowing what to do they will fall to the ground, bent and writhing and start clawing away at their precious skin just as they did to you. Their hearts will begin to burst just as a balloon when filled with too much air. They will explode with a monstrous force and spatter the walls and sidewalks with not bright red, but a tarry black

    The video begins us with being introduced to Katharina Grosse in her studio in Berlin, Germany. She is seen photographing a poem by Ernst Jandl for a christmas card, and while she talks about how she’d always loved language, she tells us that the moment she learned about painting a new love began. Katharina points out the strong contrast between poetry and paintings. She discusses how while a poem follows “a certain order system” which makes it quite “linear,” painting possesses a certainly more abstract quality yet is equally as fascinating.…

    Poets express their concerns about the Nazis and Jews through the use of poetic devices in order to create a response in the reader. The poets, Lily Brett and Trish McCallister, crafted these poems to express the poor living conditions, the barbaric nature of the Nazis and the suffering Jews inside the camps. Through the use of poetic devices such as imagery, irony, repetition, personification and onomatopoeia, both poets are able to portray their concerns to the reader about the Holocaust.

The only difference is, you don’t have to imagine. Because it did happen.…

    Words in Literature Many people believe that words have a set or fixed meaning according to Webster’s Dictionary. However, in Literature an author can assign a new meaning for a word in relation to the content of their work. In Naomi Nye’s poem “Famous”, the word famous is used quite frequently and defined in multiple ways. It shows how the link between objects and people are idealized in a way that embodies appreciation for the other.…

    Electricity is wrenching through your veins and suddenly your eyes are closed bruises glowing against the paper thin eyelids and your fluorescent teeth are flashing and your hair is wild, wisping from your head curls of smoke ashen against the murky sky and there is a treacherous feeling rushing up your spine. You're teetering on the edge of Alice's Rabbit Hole and magpies are meandering over your head, watching you with cool, cool eyes following you down into the cool cool tunnel. You gulp roses so thorns will stutter underneath your rib cage and erupt into thick, red, blooming welts across your chest.…

    The Scream Poem Analysis

    “The Scream” I really like this painting because somehow it involves mystery and insecurity and to my eyes, the rare views in it reflect a sense of how deep the feelings and thoughts of a person can be. In addition, the fact that the composition does not allow viewers to appreciate the face of the screaming person, is what has drawn me to it. Even though it seems to be that it was a lovely afternoon for everyone, it seems that it was not for the scared looking person. Although two boats are seen on the lake and two people walking very pleasingly behind, the scared looking person seems to be astonished and perhaps confused toward something. Hence, looking at this mysterious individual posing his hands on his face with his mouth open has given me the impression that he or she is appreciating something non real that no one else is able to notice; no one but him.…
