Elizabeth's Poem

They were running up the road to a barn and I followed them to a little grassy patch. They all went to a shady spot under a tree and laid down under the trees shade. I slowly walked up to them they looked hungry and lost so I went to find some hay, luckily there was a patch of hay nearby. So she went and pulled a patch out of the ground and went back to the horses. The horses were still there laying under the cool shade. I slowly came to the first one. It was small with a white dot around its eye and other white dots on its sides. I started to put the hay down the horse got up and started

Margaret Atwood’s collection of poems, Morning in the Burned House, could just as easily have employed morning’s homonym—mourning—in the title. The overriding theme of loss and some of its sources and consequences—aging, grief, death, depression, and anger—permeate this collection and, in particular, Section IV which is a series of elegiac poems about Atwood’s father.

On this particular day, she was walking through the woods, singing and skipping merrily along. All of a sudden, there was a sound behind her. As she turned around to

In the past decades, when referring to American Indians, people often associate racism. Native American culture is linked to the culture’s history of racial discrimination. Diane Burns, a Native American, who was born in Kansas and grew up in the U.S. Her poems usually revolves around Native American stereotypes. The poem “Sure You Can Ask Me A Personal Question" is one of her typical works. The title suggests that there are many questions and answers in this poem. The poem is built up as a monologue, even though it is a dialogue between an American Indian and a louder voice in the American society. With a unique narrative, the author divides the poem into three sections, each of which gives the viewer many views about the main character

In Sonnet 13 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the beloved wants the speaker to transcribe the feelings that she has for him in a sonnet. However, even though she knows that her feelings are real, she is not yet comfortable with declaring her love in such a way. In her sonnet, Browning compares what she is feeling to a lit torch in rough winds: “And hold the torch out, while the winds are rough, / Between our faces, to cast light on each?— / I drop it at thy feet” (3-5). In this metaphor, the torch acts to enlighten what is between both Browning and her beloved. Except, with external forces (such as the rough winds) battling against her increasing emotions, she feels as though she must focus on protecting her feelings. By the end of this quote, Browning drops the torch, thus representing the fact that she can’t go through with describing what she feels for her beloved. Ultimately, she tells her love, “My hand to hold my spirit so far off / From myself—me—that I should bring thee proof / In words, of love hid in me out of reach” (6-8). Here, she states that she can’t go through with risking herself. For now, he will have to settle with silence as his only answer. Simply by evaluating Browning’s response, we can see how much she cares for her beloved. First off, she worries about the possibility of risking or changing the strong emotions she has. Additionally, she believes that, given her profoundly heartfelt emotions, she will not be able to accurately depict their significance.

The thundering sound of hooves echoes in my ears as my horse comes barreling down the hill toward me. My whistle had caused him to go crashing through the tall grass and Queen Ann’s Lace in search of me once again. Coming to a sliding stop in front of me, I gently stroke his muzzle. Letting my hands glide over his fuzzy neck and into his jet black mane, I grab ahold and throw myself onto his strong back. We go running through the pasture, scattering wild rabbits and sending sparrows a flight. I watch them fly overhead, their brown wings leading them to rest in the big oak tree that my horse and I come to a halt underneath.

I read both factual, and relevant information that was supported and developed throughout the novel. I enjoyed the fact that the author used actual quotes, and dialogue from letters between Elizabeth and her husband Henry which created a sense of reality. Ginzberg included a letter that stated, ‘“I do love you Lizzie!” he was from Boston. “‘Will you forgive all my coldness & unkindness”’ (48).

Margaret Atwood wrote the poem ¨Siren Song¨ in the year 1974. The poem is part of the collection by Margaret Atwood entitled You Are Happy. The sirens featured in the painting come from Greek mythology and can be traced back to ¨The Odyssey¨. A combination of a fish, a bird, and a women is what the sirens are described as. The sirens are known for singing a song that would make sailors do unthinkable things. The sirens were incredibly beautiful making them extremely desirable for the men. Which in turn, allowed the sirens to have the ability to make the men jump overboard or even lead their ship in the wrong direction. Although the men saw the skulls on the shore, they were still tempted by the song the sirens sang and the great beauty they

Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poetry has been the subject of much criticism. Her elusive style prompted many critics to question Barrett's method of writing. In fact, some critics, like Alethea Hayter, go so far as to propose that an "honest critique of her work must admit that she often wrote very bad poetry indeed" (15). Accusations against Barrett's work were often targeted at her tendency for anonymity, her excessive development of thoughts, unsuccessful forced rhymes, and more often than any other of her familiarities, her tendency to create her own words. Despite being relatively shunned by the world of poetry, Barrett persisted in writing poetry, even though the majority of her writing

It was during the Elizabethan age that England felt the complete effect of the Renaissance. There occurred a revival of the old and classical literature of Greece and Rome and this was manifested in the poetry of the age. The Elizabethan age was characterized by an extreme spirit of adventure, aestheticism and materialism which became the characteristic features of Elizabethan poetry. Many poets displayed their skill in versification during this time and England came to be called The Nest Of Singing Birds.

Resting underneath the shade of the trees, I found myself appreciating the scent of pine needles; the ambiance of Christmas. Encompassed by the thick heavy air, I watched as a single sparrow fluttered high above the emerald forest. A few feet next to me an eager chipmunk hastily scampered from tree to tree, awaiting the chill of winter. The forest, I realized, was home to many wild creatures. In giving protection and food, the forest was gladly rewarded with the company of these animals. Beyond the horizon, I could see the community of newly formed saplings. They appeared as little children, learning under the guidance of their grown and fully matured parents.
