Stanza

personification of the wind can also be called a ‘mythical poetry’. Shelley divides the ode into five stanzas and each part of the poem consists of 14 lines. In the first stanza the poet addresses the wind as a “breath of Autumn's being”(92) and as ‘Wild’. The west wind is a great force that drives the dead leaves to faraway places like ghosts from a sorcerer. The wind…

up of four stanzas. In each stanza there is a different person’s prospective of the situation, the first stanza was in the father's point of view, the second one was in the kids prospective, the third stanza was in the mother's point of view, the last stanza was either said by the mother or the father. Additional it’s a free verse poem which means it has no rhythm. To make the poem more interesting the writer used allusion to paint a picture of what the kid sees in the second stanza, he…

because he is nowhere to be found. The first two lines in the third stanza reads “I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed and sung me moonstruck, kissed me quite insane.” (Plath, Sylvia) Bewitched means to charm or enchant. (Bewitch) Moonstruck means to be unable to think straight or act foolishly because you are in love. (Moonstruck) That was her telling us that she fell in love with him. The first two lines in the fourth stanza reads “God topples from the sky, hell’s fire fade:…

poem is said to be a religious, moral along with political allegory. It would be accurate to say that Spenser intended The Faerie Queene to be read mainly by young men, desiring to cultivate virtues in their lives. Spencer chose a nine-line verse stanza, modernly known as the…

They do not seem to connect with each other, as a new idea seems to begin with “broken doors”. I recommend further elaborating on the idea of “nail polish” as it does not seem to connect to any specific image -including the following image- of the stanza. However, I do like the idea of “nail polish” as it is something that can chip away over time, much like the relationship between the narrator and the “boys of [her] youth”.…

With this letter, I endeavor to present a sliver of my interpretation. For sake of brevity, this letter will only address the second stanza. This stanza impressed me more than Vallejo’s original because of a word in the third line: gray. Based on parallel comparison, I infer you use gray to stand in a la mala’s place in the original. However, unlike a la mala, gray accentuates the title of the poem, as gray is a color betwixt black and white. Remarkably, in examining a concrete sensory word, I…

1963), Leaflets (W. W. Norton, 1969), and the others more. In that 1960s poetry, the content of her poem explores about women’s role in society, racism, and the Vietnam War. One of that is The Melting Pot (1968), its content is about racism. On each stanza, this poem tells the story about racism and discrimination to a group of people, related to the history of America at the time until 1968. The Melting Pot related to the American History, which is about African-American civil rights movement.…

about to be said next is important, “I took the one less traveled by” (19). At the end he is telling someone, possibly himself, that he “took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference” (19, 20); although, he previously says in stanza two that they are pretty much the…

In her poem about the spread of autumn entitled “Field of Autumn” Laurie Lee uses symbolic diction along with the personification of autumn (and those affected) and repetition of the phrase “Slow moves…” in order to create an image of fall slowly arriving which parallels with death. The poem is written as if one had slowed down the moment and wandered around, noticing the effects of the season. In this poem, the diction is symbolic in that autumn is a representation of death. Within the phrase…

Among the Red Guns is a poem written by Carl Sandburg that portrays a speaker describing details of war. However, who the speaker is and what gender they are is made unclear throughout the poem. Notable in this poem is that the speaker continues to use the phrase, “dreams go on.” Sandburg uses literary devices such as imagery, tone, and repetition to help illustrate and provide information about war and its difficult aspects. Most importantly, Sandburg utilizes these literary devices in order…
