Adrienne Rich And Aunt Jennifer's Tigers And 'The Darkling Thrush'

Poetry can elicit various emotions from the reader, and not everyone will find the same meanings to the poems. For example The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, The Sky is low, The Clouds are Mean by Emily Dickinson, and Harlem Night Song by Langston Hughes all have different themes. Of the three my favorite is The Road Not Taken because it offers its audience a chance to make life choices.

In poems it is essential to be a creative writer. The author uses many techniques from from exposing deep thoughts to giving humorous jokes throughout the sentence. As human beings, we all have a difficult time understanding others .We may agree or disagree depending our viewpoints on life. One of my Favorite poems is “The Ballad of Sue Ellen Westerfield” by Robert Hayden. My favorite poem is the type of poem that has some history and confusion. When getting the audience confused, it makes them want to know more and reread the whole passage again. Hayden’s poem is a fresh new opening that brought an old dimension, his creativity to open the minds of others and look back to the past.

Poems consist of a variation of different techniques in order to convey a message or idea to readers. Wilfred Owen, Thomas Hardy, Adrienne Rich, Bruce Dawe and Robert Browning are great poets who explore these issues, conveying their emotions, which influences a perception of an issue. In each of their poems they express the hidden message of hope, along with their main message. They use similar techniques to express their ideas, which illustrates their purpose to the reader.

I chose to perform this poem because I can personally relate to it, the character in the poem and to the author herself. I would consider myself as a feminist just like Andre Lorde; also I would consider myself Anti-racism and anti-homophobic. Growing up I was surrounding by people who believed that women should stay home, and cook and clean, their job was to just take care of the kids, not only that but my religion was Islamic, my cousins belief and parents that women shouldn’t have a career, they

In my opinion the best poems are those where author finds a connection between things that usually do not connect. Edward Taylor, a poet that we have covered in this class, was one of those guys that would take two things that are not related at all and find a perfect relationship. This extreme wit and extended metaphor makes his poems very emotional, sophisticated, and meaningful. Holmes in his “The Chambered Nautilus” uses the same technique as Taylor. He describes a life cycle of a mollusk and connects it to the human soul. His skillful usage of metaphors, rhyme, meter, allusion, as well as perfect

One reason I liked this poem was because of the concept and the way it flowed together, I really enjoyed how she described things thoroughly and caused deep observations to be made. One of my favorite lines is “A man leaves the world and the streets he lived on grow a little shorter.” I hold this line to be special because it really stuck with me and opened my eyes somewhat.

It can also serve a purpose as being a way to figure out a way to change something in the life they have for the better or make them realize the many things in their life that is worth appreciating. A few of this is shown in the poem Nameless Pain by Elizabeth Drew Barstow Stoddard written in 1895 which shows the idea of her wishing for a better life, but then settles with the idea that a for fulfilling life than she has is out of reach. This is all shown in the rhyme scheme couplet with rhyming at the end of each line and it also uses pathos to appeal to emotion and this engages the reader into the deeper meaning of the poem. The idea of feminism used in the poem is just one of the many deeper meanings you can find in the poem.The feminism used shows that the speaker feels powerless and worthless. This was shown throughout the poem and once the poem is over both the speaker and reader are left with the thought that the wish and hope for a better life is just a wish because of the oppression that is throughout the society during the time period in which the poem was

     There were a few interesting lines in the poem that were particularly well written. When the mother is denying her kid the right to march, she says “For I fear

In today’s modern view, poetry has become more than just paragraphs that rhyme at the end of each sentence. If the reader has an open mind and the ability to read in between the lines, they discover more than they have bargained for. Some poems might have stories of suffering or abuse, while others contain happy times and great joy. Regardless of what the poems contains, all poems display an expression. That very moment when the writer begins his mental journey with that pen and paper is where all feelings are let out. As poetry is continues to be written, the reader begins to see patterns within each poem. On the other hand, poems have nothing at all in common with one another. A good example of this is in two poems by a famous writer by

A well-written poem would help one to engage into the work with their senses. One should be able to ask themselves what the poem caused them to think, hear, see, feel, taste, and to determine what he or she learned from the poet’s words. Many people believe that because poetry is an enigmatic art, and that there is no way for sure to know the

Adrienne Rich's poetry serves a prophetic function by articulating the history and ideals of the feminist struggle. By recalling the ancient chthonic mysteries of blood and birth, by reconnecting daughters with their mothers, by drawing parallels between women today and their historical counterparts, and by envisioning the women of the future who will emerge from the feminist struggle, her poetry celebrates women's strength and possibilities. Elaborating her vision, Rich brings a nurturing ethos to her analysis of social priorities:
