Kristro To Her Father Poem

She is living in sad and poor conditions just to give her son the things he needs for a successful childhood. The sons mother lived at places with no carpet, splinters everywhere and boards bordered up the walls. Even in such bad conditions she never gave up on her son. “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair” she repeats to her son throughout the poem which gives the impression that her son still does not fully understand what his mom went through to raise him. Langston is trying to explain what she has been through while still encouraging him to keep going.

The stanzas of this poem displays different situations, objects, and people that affect his life. However theses lyrics could be related to all. For example, the first stanza talks about a truck which symbolizes the memories and the times with his dad. In addition, the influence that only this truck can give. Even when offered the newest and latest, his standards and recollections are worth more.

In poems it is essential to be a creative writer. The author uses many techniques from from exposing deep thoughts to giving humorous jokes throughout the sentence. As a human being, we may have difficult times in understanding what is trying to be said. We may agree or disagree depending our viewpoints on life. One of my Favorite poems is “The Ballad of Sue Ellen Westerfield” by Robert Hayden. My favorite poem is the type of poem that has some history and confusion. When getting the audience confused, it makes them want to know more and reread the whole passage again. Hayden’s poem is a fresh new opening that brought an old dimension, his creativity to open the minds of others and look back to the past.

In the poem the speaker tells us about how his father woke up early on Sundays and warmed the house so his family can wake up comfortably. We are also told that as he would dress up and head down stairs he feared ¨the chronic angers of that house¨, which can be some sort of quarrel between his father and his mother in the house. This can also lead the reader to believe that the father may have had been a hard dad to deal with. However the father would polish his son's shoes with his cracked hands that ached. This shows the love that the father had for his son and now that the son has grown he realizes what his father did for him. The sons morals and feelings have changed him because as he has grown to become a man he has learned the true meaning of love is being there for one's family and not expecting it to be more than what it is. Consequently this teaches him a lesson on how much his father loved him and how much he regrets not telling him thank

The poem starts with a metaphor about a rose and hope; throughout the poem you realize the rose passed the concrete that’s above her and brakes nature´s law by making her way thru that kind of hard material even thou it is a delicate flower. In my point of view this poem emits a sense of hope because you can relate to the flower as you and the concrete as your problems or obstacles that don’t let you grow as person. Many people including myself have goals and dreams but sometimes they are hard to get, there are obstructions that make the way a little harder. For me one of my “concrete walls” is the worry about not choosing the mayor or job that I will like to do every day of life it actually scares me, but what keeps me going or what is helping

Likewise, our classmate, May Tran had a poem called, O’ Father which is about clones crying out to humanity. She decided to use poem because it helps to invokes experience, imaginations and helps to elevate reader’s critical thinking skill. In addition, May gave a speech revealing her inspiration behind her poem was “why did you create us to be like you just to put us through suffering”. This issue ties in with the SF generic conventions of birth. Those who try to pursue birth in an unusual invention that has distorted the nature will be punished. Humans try to pursue unnatural attempts to create a life that shares a similar resemblance to humans, but put them through torture and death instead.

In the poem the speaker is watching his daughter grow up and he is gloomy and depressed because she grows up too fast. The daughter is following in her father’s footsteps by becoming a writer. The tone of the poem is empathetic and disconsolate. The speaker cares very much about his daughter and he does not want his daughter to grow up. The theme and the tone relate because the theme makes you miss your childhood and when you were smaller which creates a gloomy

Its particularly significant because the narrator is mourning in the burned house. They mourn the loss of their family, house and life and are seemingly doomed to reside in the burned housw for eternity, had they literally died. If the poem were not literal, its likely symbolic of the impact losing their family had on the child. Perhaps the child is trapped not by their death but by a saddening evebt that leaves them feeling hopeless. Since the child cannot find their family in their afterlife, its likely such an event had to do with losing their family.

The poem then transitions to the post-marriage life of the couple in stanza two. In lines eight through ten, the speaker states that she is too shy around her husband. Not only does she not smile, but also she does not answer her husband when he calls her. This shows that the speaker's life took a great emotional transition, as she is overly shy and feels uncomfortable around him. However, around the middle of the second stanza, the speaker transitions into another stage of

And so quietly too. He looked up at the birds seeing there colorless gray colors that matched the sky. They were walking carelessly on the iron railing. He heard a noise in the distance , but he wasn't frightened. He has heard it before. Hundreds maybe thousands of times? He couldn't remember. Mabye forever. It got louder.a million horse hooves all coming at once.

In this poem there is a lot of figurative language. One of the biggest types of figurative language used in this poem is irony. The irony in this poem is how the mother wouldn't let her child go to march because she feared her child would get hurt. Instead she sent her child to church because she believed it was a safe and sacred place but ironically the church ended up being bombed. Another piece of figurative language that is very effective in this poem is imagery. The way the poem is written helps me create images in my head for example, "She raced through the streets of Birmingham." I can imagine her running around desperately, looking for her child. The metaphors and hyperboles in this poem also help with the imagery, for example, "...night dark hair," and "…rose-petal sweet." These metaphors make me think of the girls smoothly combed black hair and her fresh and beautiful rosy smell. A hyperbole that had a huge effect on the tone was, "But that smile was the last smile to ever come upon her face." This hyperbole really helps me understand the effect of a tragic moment like this and how it can completely ruin

The poem is about a woman that doesn’t have the best life, but she realizes that she has enough in her life in order to live happily. She works hard and is able to still live and enjoy herself, unlike some of the other people she writes of in this poem, who are focused on glamorous things instead of their true happiness. The poem’s speaker was the author herself because in her other poems she always talks about how her life is the good life, with her "music that is blue"(line 29). She was describing her own simple life that she didn’t needed to waste money on trivial stuff that doesn’t worth the money that’s going to

My first text in my anthology is poem named Longing for Father’s love by Olive Eloisa Guillermo. Longing for Father’s Love is a very sentimental yet strong poem due to the wording used by her. After I come across this poem I immediately knew I had to include it in my personal anthology. Every poem has a meaning behind and while I was reading I felt like I was opening myself and expressing my feelings towards my father leaving my family for another family.This line best represents how I feel, how I wished he had stayed and made things differently. I wish he was there when I needed a hug because I didn’t get the grade I wanted, I wish he was there when I felt like I couldn’t sleep because I was afraid of the dark, I wish he was there to love

“Violence Against Women in the United States: Statistics,” an article published by now.org, stated, “According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, women experience about 4.8 million intimate partner-related physical assaults…every year.” In other words, millions of women experience physical assault from intimate partners; that fact is frightening because there are probably millions more experiencing emotional abuse as well. In a poem titled, “Daddy” by Sylvia Plath, she speaks of how her and her father did not have a stable relationship. The poem also discusses how her father and husband did not treat her well. Sylvia Plath’s poem, “Daddy” is a representation of the physical and emotional abuse some women
