“If we’re going to solve the problems of the world, we have to learn to talk to one another. Poetry is language at its essence. Its the bones and skeleton of the language.

Not only has she published many poems she also published a book of short stories (Rita Dove 1). In writing these poems and stories she has…

Played primarily on…

Lippmann writes that unfamiliarity and foreignness…

Poetry is a powerful medley of rhythmical turns and vibrant imageries that stroke and shake the soul. It is no surprise that the best poets attract masses of followers who hang onto every word they say. When Socrates attempts to construct an ideal city in Plato’s Republic, he looks beyond the beauty of poetry to consider its potentially destructive impact on society. Poets like Homer have false knowledge and false authority to teach city values. Socrates wishes to exclude poets from his city…

Headmaster Dumbledore: I write you to discuss a matter that has recently consumed my thoughts: how stressed Hogwarts' students appear. Take Harry for example, that bloody scar of his always... being a git and the like. I believe we, as teenagers, require a creative outlet. Thus, I have constructed a plan to include a poetry course in our curriculum.

Throughout this poem, Shel Silverstein uses alot of repetition, Which helps the reader pull out the main parts of the story.
