How Is Aphora Used In Poetry

The poem “Absolutely Nothing” by Osoanon Nimuss is a narrative poem that was intended to be a suicide note for a teenage boy. In the poem the speaker uses anaphora by repeating the word “And” at the beginning of almost all the lines. He also seems to repeat the same structure of events throughout the poem, but he changes the condition each event is in. For example in the first stanza it says, “ He wrote a poem, and he called it ‘Chops’ because that was the name of his dog and that’s what it was all about.” and in the second stanza it says, “He wrote a poem, and he called it ‘Autumn’ because that was the name of the season and that’s what it was all about.”. The speaker keeps the structure of events extremely consistent so that everything that was changed is immensely noticeable.

The first quote is important because it shows how emotional humans can relate to the sea, with its blue, rolling waves sinking into the beach and rising again, a thousand fold of times, repeating and representing the moods that sentient beings can

The alliteration from, “then came a virus like an avenging angel” (Mandel 60), shows how the prophet has conveyed this idea as an advantage to make his people believe that for every tragedy there is a miracle. He is secretly insinuating that he is the miracle. This statement can be interlinked through his state of mind, because he is trying to justify his happiness towards the effect of the virus, by baffling his people into believing he is right. By using the metaphor, “‘The world,’ the prophet said, ‘is an ocean of darkness.” (Mandel, 302), it emphasizes his way of speech, and his anger towards the world. The word, “ocean” illustrates his callous feeling, which is then impacted on his people, therefore making the relationship untruthful. His idea is derived from the comic book, Dr

* As the supreme soul, supporter of the earth, he lifted up the earth and placed her upon the great ocean

God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. He separated the light from the darkness he called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” God called the vault “sky.” God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it. God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their

When your life revolves around the sea as ours does, you hear stories. Stories of deep sea monsters, mermaids, giant squids right out of a Moby Dick novel, are just some of the tales we’ve heard. Most stories about mysterious creatures we shrug off as ‘not bloody likely’, but others enter the realm of real possibility.

When people think of the ocean, their mind usually drifts to squids and colorful fish. Not

The sea is an unknowable construct, utterly unpredictable and without pattern. The most significant and recurring descriptions of the sea relate to its ambiguity, the unrealness of its representation. The descriptions of the ocean as "indefinite as God" and the "howling infinite" are consistent with the the ocean's curiously wide-ranging characteristics. The ocean is also likened to "Hell's flames," another seemingly paradoxical analogy. As being ten thousand fathoms indicates, the ocean can be all these things; endless diversity is possible in "the vast swells of an omnipotent sea." The ocean is regarded for its resistance to human understanding. The given characteristics of the setting place a high value on mystery and a low value on the

The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace (Ch. 6, p. 13).

There was a point in time where no human or god had walked the surface of the earth. Until where the land met the sea, a mare was born. She was made of white sea-foam and her name was Eiocha. Somewhere nearby a oak tree grew tall and strong. The oak tree provided seeds and berries for Eiocha. Eiocha kept eating the seeds and berries until one day she gave birth to a god. The god's name was Cernunnos. When Eiocha gave birth to Cernunnos the pain was so great that she stripped the bark of the tree and threw it into the ocean. The bark was transformed by the sea and became the giants of the deep.

“The Beach is written in the style of a free verse poem consisting of two stanzas, the first one having nineteen lines and the second having twelve. The lines vary significantly in length and feature a large amount of enjambment which stretches over fur lines in some cases. The mood and atmosphere of the poem is extremely relaxed and promotes the reader to feel nostalgic about the last time they themselves visited the beach.

Every picture has a story and upon going into detail about this picture of the ocean, the lighting and forms of the waves are not only beautiful, but also evoke deeper emotion and meaning than someone may notice at first glance. This picture taken by Erich Lessing can truly create a different meaning, if you just take the time to truly look deeper. Every picture has a story, and although yours might be different than another’s. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t

Throughout the novel, the sea is a recurring motif that symbolizes glory, purity and illustrates the contrast between westernization and traditionalism through the land and sea.

The Ocean is the large body of water that makes up 71% of the earth’s surface, Yet we know very little about it. The Earth is just one huge ocean, separated by islands we call continents . The ocean is so extraordinary that you can sail across it for days without seeing any land, and also its very deep with the bottom being more than six miles below surface. It is important to have an understanding of the ocean because it affects everything on earth, whether we know it or not. Since the ocean is so epic 95% of it still remains unexplored, for every one species found in the ocean three still remain undiscovered. As we know saltwater should not be consumed and only a small dosage of freshwater can be obtained from it, scientists are working

The Oceanographer Jacques Cousteau once said, “The sea, the great unifier, is man 's only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: we are all in the same boat."The ocean is an essential part of God’s creation. The oceans are being mistreated and this environment is being destroyed through human activities. Yet, there have been several signs of hope seen in this world to improve conditions in oceans. Organizations including Mission Blue and National Marine Sanctuaries are striving to improve circumstances in our bounteous oceans that are threatened by human activities.
