A Different Love Story In the poems “Stereo Hearts” by Gym Class Heroes and “A Red, Red Rose” by Robert Burns, there are a lot of similarities, but there are slight differences in those similarities. There are similarities and differences in the symbolism, tones and themes of the two poems. In both of these poems, it is about showing their love to the girl. In my opinion, I think that “Stereo Hearts” is a better poem because, I can relate to how that author is feeling in the poem.

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

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.

War can be seen in different ways. On one hand it can be seen as an amazing feat that brave, courageous soldiers fought for their beliefs and country. But on the other, it is a remorseful, callous slaughter. These two sides are perfectly expressed in the two poems: Sons of Britain, by William Watson, and Dulce Decorum Est, by Wilfred Owen. Watson’s takes the approach that war is honourable and Owen’s takes the opposite.

Have you ever read two poems that are very similar, but have distinct differences? "The Grasshopper' by Conrad Potter Aiken and "The Tiger" by William Blake are excellent examples of two poems that are related while being distinct. "The Grasshopper" talks about a little grasshopper hopping about in the grass during the summer, playing his little song "like rusty fiddles." The other poem, "The Tiger", is about the creation of the tiger, and how it's different body parts, such as the heart and the brain, were made. Blake makes an analogy between a blacksmith making something with his hammer and anvil and a divine being creating the tiger. Both of these poems are about animals, but the poets are awestruck by the wonder and beauty of the grasshopper and the tiger. "The Grasshopper" is very lighthearted and informal, while "The Tiger" is more dark and formal.

It is said that songs are just poems set to a catchy tune. Though Poems and songs speak to different people in the same way and vice versa to different people in different ways. Poem: A piece of writing that partakes of the mature of both speech and song that is nearly always rhythmical, usually metaphorical, and often exhibits such formal elements as meter, rhyme, and stanzaic structure. Song: A short poem or other set of words set to music or meant to be sung.

felt and what he saw, 'All went lame; all blind' it makes it stand out

The song and poem each have developed themes that are very similar to each other. The theme in Roberts Frost poem is don’t get distracted by anything and keep on going. The techniques used to help are repetition and sensory language. What Roberts repetition in the poem is “And miles to go before i sleep” in lines sixteen and seventeen. Roberts sensory language is “His house is in the village though” in line two. The theme in the song that Tim McGraw wrote is have fun in life and make every second count. To help this theme become developed he used techniques such as: repetition, symbolism, and sensory language. The repetition in McGraw's song is “Live like you were dying”. What he symbols in this song is “And all of a sudden going fishin’

William Blake’s poem “London” and Charles Martin’s poem “ Easter Sunday” are both poems that explore the overarching notion of belief and politics. Blake's poem comments on what he observes - fear and oppression. This poem converses about the vigorous political clasp of the church and its repercussion on the society of London. On the other hand Martin’s poem delineates and depicts the repression of the people of Guatemala. “ Easter Sunday” is a rejoinder to a statement by General Mejia Victores. Both poets employ numerous techniques to narrate their stories, ideas and themes.

The Passionate Shepard to His Love, written by Christopher Marlow is a sonnet about love and persuasion. Marlow is trying to persuade his crush to “come live” with him, and be his “love.” Marlow’s sonnet is very similar to the song Come on Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners, because they are both seduction pieces. In Come on Eileen, the singer is attempting to win his long time crush over, asking her to come run away with him. The choice of the words the singer and the poet say, convey that they cannot live without the person they love; which is one of the main themes of both pieces. Many devices are used in both works; one that is evident in both pieces is imagery. In Christopher Marlow’s poem, he uses imagery to persuade his love to live with him. Marlow talks about the “finest wool” and a “thousand fragrant posies,” as he tries to win his love over. In Come on Eileen, the singer uses imagery by persuading Eileen to not be like the “beaten-down” and “smoke-dried” people of her town; asking Eileen to run away with him and have a better life. Another device used is in both pieces is repetition. In The Passionate Shepard to His love, Marlow repeats the

No poetry can be indistinguishable because poetry relies on the writer’s, perceptions and feelings behind the poetry. In the poem “Morning song” by Sylvia Plath and “Time for Renewal” by Anchal Grover are two very different poems, but very similar way of tones In the poems, not only the themes and structure are different, but also the point of view the poem has written in, are very diverse. However, they used very similar characteristics and punctuation to describe the concept of the poem. In both poems, the themes are different, but they are slightly alike from the meaning behind it. Plath’s poem is about a love, where they talk about her feeling she experiences during her maternity and how she feels about formation as a woman to

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.

In the Robert Frost poem ‘’The Road Not Taken’’ there is a pervasive and in many ways intrinsic sense of journey throughout. In such, the poem explores an aspect associated with human decision, or indecision, relative to the oxymoron, that choices with the least the difference should bear the most indifference, but realistically, carry the most difficulty. This is conveyed through the use of several pivotal techniques. Where the first such instance is the use of an extended metaphor, where the poem as a whole becomes a literary embodiment of something more, the journey of life. The second technique used is the writing style of first person. Where in using this, the reader can depict a clear train of thought from the walker and understand

The analysis of “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost has been up for debate since the poem release in 1916. It is known to be one of the most frequently misinterpreted poems of all time, and even Robert Frost himself has said the poem is “tricky” to comprehend (The). When analyzing this poem many readers tend to focus only on the last lines of the poem and get caught in a trap of selective-interpretation. Quite a few people after reading Robert Frost’s poem firmly conclude that this poem is about non-conformity and individualism, however, that is not the case. Robert Frost’s poem is meant to be analyzed line by line for a complete interpretation. Readers can conclude that the poem represents making choices in life, but that is not the
