the entrapment startles him ; eyes shooting open as the ghoul is ring in front of him. body and all. he exhales a laugh, gaze locked on rudi. “ well, aren’t ya quick. ” it’s a coo, but gritty, low. the urge to kiss him again is bit back, hands instead finding their way to rudi’s hips. what’s his game now ? it could be nothing, or it could be everything. this is just the type of closeness he enjoys. mingled breathes and lips so close. he’s drunk on the friction in the air. tyler pulls…
TO BILLY: Yes. The writing style is mature and concise, and the disparities the author draws through imagery are constructed very well. However, there are a few unclear images and sections of the poem that would have to be remedied before the poem is taken into further consideration. First Reader’s Comments: Specific Comments: S2, L1-2 - I am confused by the imagery that you are trying to create in these two lines. They do not seem to connect with each other, as a new idea seems to begin…
love throughout history through poetry. Many writers are inspired by experiencing feelings of lust, passion, heartbreak, and lovesick. In Catullus's poems, he expresses his feelings with pure honesty and does not sugarcoat them, in which the book mentions that he "...conveys intense and often conflicting emotions" (940). Although I personally find his poems to be difficult to understand, I enjoy reading them. I am able to come up with theories behind his writings. In his writings, a woman…
able to send an encoded message to his wife requesting her to join him. The poem alludes to the origin of the rune-staff in which carries the message to the wife but exemplifies the failure of communication as she does not understand the runes carved into the staff. The incomprehensible message thus presents the text as a frame for the runes, giving context that allows for interpretation. Through the analysis of this poem, the use of the runes can be observed in a parallel fashion to the modern…
Keanah Santiago The Poem That Ruined My Life It was a dreary Saturday morning in England for all but me. Today my friend Marie de France was asked to be a court writer for the court of Henry II and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, and she chose me as her lady in waiting. We were walking in the marketplace when we got this news, and Marie was ecstatic. No one knew why they chose Marie, some say that Eleanor wanted to have someone in the court who had a french background besides herself. Others…
lost the beauty of the natural surroundings, for the buildings obstruct the canal from afar, and their tall facades curtain any form of nature except the sky directly above. Gary Snyder’s 1996 poem “Covers the Ground” focuses on similar environmental issues, juxtaposing man-made structures with nature. In the poem, imagery reveals how man-made structures overpower nature in order to criticize the loss of wilderness to make room for further development. Descriptions of size highlight how man-made…
“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 author used a series…
Here is a quick summary of the whole book. A guy named Boy Willie and another guy named Lymon came to Pittsburgh from Mississippi looking to sell watermelons. He had a truck full of them. The two go into Boy Willie’s uncle, Doaker house (It’s around 5:00 in the morning). Eventually, Boy Willie starts talking about his great plan about how he is going to sell watermelons and the family’s piano to buy the land which his family was once enslaved in (Stutter’s land). Since Stutter died, Boy Willie…
For instance, in the poem “The Gypsy”, based on my interpretation after an amount of acceptable readings through the writing, Harrison, (author and narrator), talks about someone else’s daughter. The narrator is communicating the readers how “she arrives in a magic moment” to the unknown person’s life. This individual without identity that Harrison is referring to in the poem, was not expecting a daughter for sure, so he “turns away”. I guess either he did not care, or was not prepared for such…
In the poem Judith, there are many literary devices that can be shown in the poem. This tale of feminism also contains numerous references to biblical stories and principles, as it mainly serves as a retelling of a biblical story. Many of the seven deadly sins can be observed in this story and it raises some questions as to just how permission can be granted for sins, but Christians are told not to sin at all. The pardoning of a sin prior to its being committed shows quite a bit of hypocrisy…
