“To me there's no creativity without boundaries. If you're gonna write a sonnet, it's 14 lines, so it's solving the problem within the container.” All sonnets follow one form and style but it is the result of emotional pain, personal values, state of mind and rational actions that separate and differ one sonnet poem from another. Sonnets were first introduced to the world in Italy traditionally written as love poems. This particular style of poetry was invented in the early 12th century, by the…

This piece reflects the internal conflict the poet faces, as well as a narration of the story. The piece uses a substantial amount of word painting to help evoke the emotions and actions of the poet as well as a description of the setting. From measures 1 to 25, the composers uses the use of counterpoint to reflect the disconnection and solitude that the poet feels. Alone and pensive, the poet’s lyrics describe walking deserted fields and does not come in contact with anyone. Because of the…

In “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” by Christopher Marlowe and “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepard,” by Sir Walter Raleigh, both poets focus on the central idea of love. These poems were written in Pastoral Tradition, which celebrates the beauty of nature, and almost has a perfect setting. The details given in the first poem describe a shepherd who thinks idealistically and romantically. Whereas in the other poem, the Nymph believes realistically and disproves the belief of the perfect world…

Also in sonnet 130 he speaks of how he loves to hear her speak and sing by saying "I love to hear her speak, yet well I know, That music hath a far more pleasing sound...". He says nothing about the woman's voice in sonnet 18. Further more, in sonnet 130 it is clear that the woman he speaks of is very poor and most likely works for either him or someone close to him. However, in sonnet 18 it seems as though the lady…

and joy and despair. Much of the time, poems are created through use of writing devices that are not always understood without deeper inspection. In Do Not Go Gentle, Dylan Thomas uses a repetitive villanelle form, nature imagery, and patterns of sound to create a message of defiance towards death of old age. The poem is organized as a villanelle, which is a highly structured form of poetry. It requires a specific rhyme scheme as well as stanza requirements and lines that get repeated…

memories of the old house, looking through a photo that has been taken through a camera, then the current emotions that her brother dealing with will be different, where instead of feeling bawling and crying, he could be upset but does not reach the level of crying in tears, since he understands that he could somehow relive the memory of the old house through the photo that he…

Poetry Assignment – Critical Analysis Stress, Rhythm and Metre When poems have a detectable stress pattern and rhythm, it forms a metre. An example of this would be a poem with ten syllables on each line, where five of which are stressed, and five are unstressed. This would make the metre pentameter, which often consists of five-stress duplets. Carol Ann Duffy’s Shakespearean sonnet, Rapture, is a good example of a poem with an organised, detectable rhythm, which forms a metre. Most lines appear…

I hold the chapbook in my hand and question what the contents may hold. I breathe a sigh as I open it and see the first poem titled “The Green Room”. I reassure myself by saying “the chapbook is safe, the author is a faceless entity” and I begin to read her words. “The Green Room” gave me a feeling of melancholy and I assumed that the chapbook would be a theme of childhood memories from the viewpoint of an adult. When she speaks of the “green carpet” I was able to see in my mind’s eye the shag…

When considering the tone of “The Road Not Taken”, it can be said that, even though the narrator wonders what the other choice would have resulted in, he seems content with the original choice made. The tone of lines nine and 10, which are written “Though as for that the passing there/Had worn them really about the same,” (Frost, 2016), could further suggest that the narrator believes that both of his choice options were nearly compatible, leading to the realization that the right choice was…

part of music education. Recognizing two eighth notes followed by three quarter notes is like learning to read a word in english. You do not learn by building it one letter at a time, you learn by seeing the word and recognizing what how the letter sounds behave in various contexts. Music uses the pattern recognition as well. Gordon says it best when he notes that “Emphasis on tonal patterns and rhythm patterns rather than individual pitch letter-names and time-value names is significant in…
