Three Strongest Words I really enjoyed the poem, Three Strongest Words. I liked this poem because though the poem was very short, it also was very deep and left me thinking about each word the author described. For instance, when the author wrote about the word silence, saying as soon as you say the word you destroy it I had to stop, and think what she meant. This poem also made me very confused because of the way the author presented the poem. For example, when she described someone speaking…

In non-lyrical music, each note must be deliberate, played in a certain way to achieve the desired effect.

Poem A shows the compassion and compromises…

Again assonance was used to slow down the pace of the poem so the emotions are shown. The emotion of this poem expresses Owens feelings towards…
