Comparing Three Love Poems

The lovers are in love with themselves being in love. They love each other, but are more preoccupied with being seen as lovers. They often feign mild hatred. She is extremely aware of being watched and plays with the audience for sympathy in their plight and ccasionally flirts with spectators.

when she picks him up from the police. How does this quote show us how she

He "speaks daggers to her" and condemns her actions against her true family.  Both women are reproached for their relationships and interactions with other men.

Dawn revisited is a poem about the new ideas one could have in life and how it is easy to start again if things don’t go too well, as the poem starts with ‘imagine you wake up with a second chance’ which automatically introduces the topic to the reader. The poem is laid-out in a way that – especially ‘hawks his pretty wares’ - gives us an unimaginable image of the beauty of dawn, a description that would want people to manage their time in order to see it. The poet states ‘if you don’t look back the future never happens’ which shows us that one could only learn by making mistakes and that she perhaps learnt from experience and does not want people to miss out on the beauty of nature just like she might have done previously. She suggests

The third stanza goes on to define the pain, only now in more emotional terms, such as "It hurts to thwart the reflexes / of grab, of clutch" (14-15), as well as the pain of continuously having to say good bye, each perhaps as if for the last time: "to love and let / go again and again" (15-16). These lines reinforce the impression that the first stanza's definition of "to love differently" is in fact an anti-freedom or state of emotional anarchy, now using words like "pester" to describe any separation; the poet is compelled "to remember / the lover who is not in the bed" (16), hinting at obsessive tendencies as being possible components of the relationship. We also learn that she believes love requires work, which she cannot do without her partner's assistance, and that this lack of cooperation frustrates her. She believes this neglected effort is the other party's fault by his failure to do his fair share, thereby leaving her own efforts ineffective, the whole of it characterized as an effort "that gutters like a candle in a cave / without air" (19-20). Her demands of this work are quite broad, encompassing being "conscious, conscientious and concrete" in her efforts and optimistically calling this work "constructive" (20-21) before ending the stanza.

And when «she knows it's happening: that thing, that connection» between them, when she dances for him and «making him fall in love with her» she says to him: «We've got all we need. We don't need love. Don't diminish yourself – don't reveal yourself as a sentimental sap. You're dying to do it, but don't. Let's not lose this.» (p. 231). She knows she's driving him nuts, she knows that her rejection of his feelings makes him want to attach to her sentimentaly even more. She dances for him and teaches him what life really is. She – a 34-year-old illiterate janitor, teaches him – colledge proffessor, ex-dean, a member of highest rank of society class, what life is all about.

She realizes that you have to get to know a person and build some trust and get to know a person before you get into a relationship. “Love is lak de sea. It’s a movin thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from de shore it meets and its different with every shore.” Janie is saying that love takes a different form depending on who you are with, each different person representing the shores.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words. Good morning Ms Linton and students, today I will be informing you on why you must choose these two poems for the poetry speaking contest. The poems I have chosen are ‘The Man from Ironbark’, by Banjo Patterson as well as ‘He Started the Cycling Craze’ by myself. Narratives help the readers enjoy and understand poetry as it is a way the poets can connect to their readers by using storylines that may relate to them or something that they enjoy.

Through the use of poetic devices such as repetition or alliteration, the author originally describes what love is not capable of providing and defines love as unnecessary but by the end of the poem, the author reveals that love has some value.

Love is big when I really appreciate what my family or friends do for me. This poem oppened my eyes and changed my view of the love I had for my family. I got more identified with “Upon the Burning Of Our House”, because it says that all is vanity and I think that sometimes the people including me, forgets the real meaning of beauty and worries more on dressing good than changing the bad attitudes. I also identified with the second poem because when I am facing a big and disgusting problem, I search God’s help and guidance. I learn from my mistakes. Anne searched a way to get to the readers hearts including

She’s so stingy with words that express her feelings for him! It seems that words are redundant, but, for some reason, he longs to hear her speak those words. Could it be that it’s because In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God? Unlike other women who loved him generously, she is mute, even in the heat of passion. Even those words that burst out by themselves at such moments from the lips of lovers are unknown to her. She enjoys his caresses in silence as if grateful not to him, but to herself for the pleasure. Unable to control her own passion, she bites his lips, his arms, and his

In this compare and contrast essay I will compare four poems in detail and mention two in the passing to find similarities and differences. The poems and sonnets I have chosen to compare are ‘Porphyria’s Lover’ and ‘My Last Duchess’ by Robert Browning and Sonnet 18 and Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare

Comparing Ideas and Images in Four Metaphysical Love Poems “To His Coy Mistress”, “The Fair Singer”, “Picture of Little T.C. in a Prospect of Flowers” by Andrew Marvell and “Sun Rising” by John Donne are all seventeenth century metaphysical love poems. They all contain similar styles and images in which they portray the messages they intend to get across, which give an insight into certain opinions and feelings of men towards women in that era. All these poems talk about the beauty of the woman they are describing. In “The Fair Singer” he talks about “both beauties”, her appearance and her voice. He says “her voice my heart might bind” and “her voice might captivate my mind” making it seem as

The poem “How Do I Love Thee”, by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and “What Lips My Lips Have Kissed”, by Edna Vincent Millay are both well-known poems that both have themes of love. (LIT, Kirszner & Mandell, Pg. 490). In both poems the poet helps the reader experience a lot of emotion with the use of certain words. There are speakers in both poems. In Mrs. Browning’s poem, the speaker is undefined, leaving open that the speaker could be a he or she. Millay’s poem which is written in first person, the speaker is more defined leading the reader to believe it is a she who is talking about love in the past tense. Both poems are sonnets written with fourteen lines, and written in Italian style. When comparing these poems we will be looking at the use of rhyme scheme and metaphors and how they were used to express emotions in these two sonnet poems.
