Hurt Hawk Poem

The poem, “Hurt,” was demonstrated in a motion picture of an old man singing this poem. As he sang this poem, his memories and flashbacks were revealed as well - his music career, fame, and even his family. The poem mentions his empire of dirt, which in this case is compared to his fame. The man is witnessing his life was coming to an end and his empire of fame had died too. The man reminisces and has “broken thoughts” (Line 20) of his dead music career and regrets wasting his life, knowing that it's already too late to alter the past. Describing and comparing his fame to dirt, gives a negative connotation, meaning his fame doesn't mean much to him anymore like it had been before. The motion picture also reveals a photograph of his wife and

In his poem “The Great Scarf of Birds”, John Updike uses a flock of birds to show that man can be uplifted by observing nature. Updike’s conclusion is lead up to with the beauty of autumn and what a binding spell it has on the two men playing golf. In Updike’s conclusion and throughout the poem, he uses metaphors, similes, and diction to show how nature mesmerizes humans.

Some believe that birds help express spiritual freedom and psychological liberation with the different colors of birds that are associated with various meanings; specifically the yellow bird means you should keep your guard up. In the novel, The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers, John Bartle becomes guarded and isolated because of his internal battles created by his experiences from war. Bartle struggles with the lack of control he has over the events that happen to him in during his time in the military. He fights with his helplessness when he tries to transition to his lifestyle at home. He also cannot control how he changes as a person. When we think of war we think of the physical damage we see on the exterior but what we cannot see is the psychological damage in the interior of a person.

I sat there kneeling beside the fallen Scarlet Ibis and I couldn’t help but feel sorrow. I understood its death, but I felt like it’s life should be honored. From a young age, I understood the concept because I was expected to be in that same position. No one expected me to live and I began to realize that life is a miracle and if you’re lucky enough to be blessed with it, you should celebrate and rejoice. At that moment, I felt like a piece of me died and all I felt like doing was honoring the bird’s death. So I began to dig a grave to bury it in. I wanted people to remember this magnificent form of life and respect it. I felt a deep connection to that bird and I began to think that it somehow resembled me. I know no one in my family understands

The Song of Warriors Hearts of fury, we are Blood Ravens, Sons of the Red Warrior who eternally pursues Artemis Golden Bow across the night sky. Bearers of the black sword, wearers of the dragon helm, we are the blades of destiny. Guardians of the Light, we stand eternal watch on the ramparts of Beth Jahuz, Gateway to the Everdark.

These lines from the poem really show the point of learning how to walk and riding a bike is one of the first things you do when you are young. When you learn how to do these things, you feel proud and learn how nice it is to do these things. You gain confidence when you are able to complete something for the first time. Both of them make you feel better, aslong with making your life much easier. It was a journey to ride a bike and to start to walk that took time like it did for me.

In the poem “Hawk Roosting” by Ted Hughes and the poem “Golden Retrievals” by Mark Dot both of the speakers are animals. The speaker in “ Hawk Roosting” is a Hawk who seems to have a wild side because he is a wild animal. The speaker in “Golden Retrievals” is a dog who is a playful house pet. Both animals have contrasting personalities which explain the differences in wild and household animals. In “Hawk Roosting” the speaker is a wild hawk who has to survive like any animal who lives in the wild.

It connects to my life because it illustrates that the idea of school creates all sorts of sicknesses and diseases throughout my body. It mentions that I try my best to look back into my past. But because school has started and all the homework there is to do, I have forgotten my prefect friend from Mongolia and the prefect bed that I used to constantly lay on with relaxation and happiness. I used to be a “prince” or anything, but now that school commenced I am the late afternoon light filled with sadness or like a cloudy day with all the blue drained out of it. Now I have to say good-bye to my friends and turn bigger. It was JUST yesterday where there was something that shined and pleased me, but now that light disappeared, and I fall and bleed of sadness. This links with my role as a student in grade 10 because this poem tells me that in order to be successful in my grade 10 year, I will have to my best to work hard and never give up. Lastly, in order to overcome my sadness from the idea of school, I will have to say hello to new friends and become Andrean brothers with them. As Patrick Lindsay once said, “Every new friend is a new adventure… the start of more delight

While we were reading the different poems in the Springboard book, I took notice to the poem “Scars”. I especially enjoyed this poem because of the word choice, flow of the poem, and the message that the poet was trying to convey to the audience. The poem “Scars” talks about how Scars only remind us of the bad memories and that, the good memories fade away because we don’t have anything that reminds us of them. I enjoyed stanza 13 where it states, “It’s easy to recall what doesn’t heal, more difficult to call back what leaves no mark, what depends in memory to bring forward what’s been gone so long”. I don’t know what it is about this stanza, but it makes me want to think back about all of the good memories I have.

Off the coast of Belize, on a small island you’re walking on the beach. The morning sun is just rising. You can feel the soft sand below your toes. You hear the waves splashing against the shore. You look down at the white sand and realize that something odd is in front of you. You become curious and run up to it. At first glance it looks kind of like a multicolored rock. The size is rather large for a “rock” to float ashore. You hesitantly try to pick up the rock. As soon as you touch it you reel in disgust. It’s really squishy! You run off in fear of what this “rock” could be. After overcoming the fear you become very curious. Was it an animal? Was it a rock? Or worse. In fact you are so intrigue by what you found you Google it. The all

Artworks are veracious works because of its originality and reality it invades just like the work of Zhao entitled “Broken Officer". This artwork is politically committed perchance the views and opinions express by police officers and the thoughts they convey.

In the sympathy poem I see that it there is no racism but it is still segregation.They are free but the white people still don’t treat them with the same equality.They wanted to be equal but they have to go to the colored side of everythings and they are not treated right and every time it is something colored it is dirty and they don't respect the African Americans they thought that they weren’t

I read this poem when I was about fourteen years old. I cried when I read all of the poems but this one touched me. I thought, what does my heartsong sound like? Maybe my favorite song or the sound of the leaves falling on the ground. I hope I would think of it

Unique she was and never did she fail to surprise me in her own ways!!!

Elizabeth Bishop’s childhood was not the typical mom and dad experience. Her father died when she was 8 months old and her mother, when she was five, was checked in at an insane asylum. She stayed in the asylum until she died. Most of her poems was about her childhood. Her childhood played in a factor for not having a religious connection of some sort. As I was reading her poem, “Roosters”, she refers to the roosters in comparison with a religious event, the denial of St. Peter. Although she had no recorded religious background, I believe the story of Peter’s denial of knowing Jesus. The poem “Roosters”, is a comparison with her life as well as is with the last hours leading to Jesus’ death, regarding St. Peter, his disciple. How this poem relates to her life is quite simple. As a child she was forced move to different homes, all within family relations. She had to have the feeling that her family denied her when things got hard and they acted as if they didn’t know her and shipped her off. This experience made it easy for her to write this poem.
