The two poems that I chose to compare are both written by Emily Dickenson; the first poem is “A Narrow Fellow in the Grass,” and the second is “[The Brain- is wider than the Sky].” These poems were written 4 years apart, the first coming in 1862, and the second was written in 1866. While we read “[The Brain- is wider than the Sky]” for class, we did not read “A Narrow Fellow in the Grass.” These two poems are very different, while at the same time they are very similar; Emily Dickenson has a…

once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils;” In the first stanza of the poem uses a simile to describe the loneliness William was feeling when he stumbled upon the daffodils. “Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze,” shows the reader, through uses of a metaphor to describe his view of the daffodils by comparing them to a crowd of people.

In the quatrain, the first, third and fourth lines rhyme with the rest of the 'A' lines, and the second line rhymes with the rest of the middle lines, or the 'B.' In this way, only…

Poetry is written for many purposes. Some poems are written to portray a theme, some are written to convey a tone, and some are written to entertain. The poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost is no exception, for this poem, which speaks of a very calm evening, was also written for a specific purpose. “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” uses many devices to portray a man stopping by snowy and calm wood, a place where in that moment all is calm, well, and beautiful.

yet here the death is brusque. The irregularity and brusque tone of the poem present “a bare skeleton of emotion that hasn’t yet been decorated with dramatic imagery” (Peter). An example of what Mr. Peter is saying is shown in the first and second stanzas. Dickinson…
