Love Poems for that Special Lady

Since the beginning of human existence love has earned a meaning of pure bliss and wild passion between two people that cannot be broken. Through out time the meaning of love has had its slight shifts but for the most part, maintains a positive value. In the poem “Love Should Grow Up Like a Wild Iris in the Fields,” the author, Susan Griffin expresses that this long lost concept of love is often concealed by the madness of everyday life and reality. In the poem, Griffin uses many literary elements to help convey the importance of true love. The usage of imagery, symbolism, and other literary techniques really help communicate Griffins’ meaning

“Love Poem” by John Frederick Nims is an excellent of example of an author using many types of literary terms to emphasize his theme of a love that is imperfect yet filled with acceptance. In, this poem Nims uses assonance, metaphor, and imagery to support his theme of “Imperfect, yet realistic love”.

The love between the two seems that it will be eternal. Time seems to stand still in this poem, seizing a moment between two lovers and accentuating it with nature’s majesty.

Love is one of the strangest, but most powerful emotions that a person could feel. It can make a person or break one. The classic

Poetry is one of the countless items on the list that is thought of when the subject of love, whether it be legitimate, everlasting, or even fleeting, is brought to the light, but the thing about literature is that it can give off an impression that the events and emotions portrayed are too good to be true, especially when it comes to the topic of love. True love is out in the world for everyone, but very few

The poem “love poem” is by John Frederick Nims it is a one hundred and seventeen word poem with six verses of four lines in each, the second and also fourth lines rhyme with each other. This poem is very descriptive and has a lot of meaning in it just by the words this poet chooses to use and also in his style of writing. The first three words of this poem he was either speaking or addressing to his beloved one it said “My clumsiest dear”. We quickly learn that this is the woman he loves and that she nearly breaks everything she comes across, “her hands wreak disasters” “shipwreck vases”. They are like proverbial bulls in a china shop, he mentions and they catch in fine cloth like the burrs of weeds. In this poems first couple of verses mostly

Love is a special emotion that most individuals strives for. Part of a human’s nature is to love and long for another individual. This feeling has existed since the beginning and will continue to exist until the end. The term “love,” however, is very broad. To understand more easily what the term means, the Ancient Greeks came up with three terms to symbolize the three main types of love. The three classical types of love are very important to understand, as they will continue to exist until the world ends. The selected poems read reflect three classical types of love.

“Love Should Grow up Like a Wild Iris in the Fields” is an exquisite literary piece that exhumes the pragmatism of love. Griffin's poem is filled with compelling comparisons that display her true feelings on the matter. Even though love can be beautiful, this sentiment is not comparable to an iris in the field. Griffin believes that love is flawed, much like humans. Moreover, love is more closely related to the iris of an eye.

Love can be quite a difficult topic to write about, expressing one’s intimate and innermost emotions requires a great level of dedication and honesty. If done correctly, the outcome is truly stunning. John Donne’s “A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning” and Katherine Philips’s “To Mrs. M.A. at Parting” are two masterpieces of this genre. These poems depict the concept of true love so meticulously that the reader cannot help but envy the relationships presented. Perhaps the reason that these works are so effective is due to the fact that they are incredibly similar to each other. Although some differences are present when it comes to structure and gender concerns, the poems share the same theme of love on a spiritual level and show many parallels in meaning.

In the poem “After Making Love We Hear Footsteps”, Galway Kinnell creates the speaker in a way to really portray what he believes true love to be once “long-married”. The author gives great sensory details, engulfing you into the night that he produced from these fickle meters. The speaker in the poem puts family high on this list of priorities as the author shows a significant amount of importance to them from using a few clever poetic devices. Although Kinnell could have put a little more thought into scansion to create even more of a deeper meaning, this poem is very emotional and touching to the senses as well as giving great morality to what a man

The two poems “Magic of Love” by Helen Farries and “Love Poem” by John Frederick Nims are both poems with the central theme of love. The ways that these two authors express this theme differ significantly from each other and show two spectrums of love in literature. Through their use of syntax, diction, rhyme, and meter, these poets portray love in a unique and personal manner that illicit specific emotions from the reader for a variety of possible reasons, which will be analyzed in this essay.

Poems can be both easy and hard to write, with fickle or complex meanings. The three poems chosen in this, are all different difficulties. First poem of this essay, is ‘First Fig’ by Edna St.Vincent Millay. ‘Love Is Not All’ is the second poem, also by Edna St. Vincent Millay. The final poem for this essay is ‘Apollo Tree’ by Miriam Waddington. These three poems are my ‘goldilocks’ poems, meaning one is too easy, too hard and then one is just right.

Love has a voice that speaks to everyone differently. For some people it is a gentle whisper, but for others it is a scream, yearning to be noticed. Love is a common theme in literature, discussed in many works. Love is a very broad term, that can be defined in many different ways. Love has many characteristics, with many individual interpretations. In this essay, I will be talking about three poems: Robert Graves’ Symptoms of Love, Bob McKenty’s Adam’s Song, and Muriel Stuart’s In the Orchard. Each of these poems demonstrates their own meaning of love, and each author interprets love in their own different ways.

Comparing the two love poems, “How Do I Love Thee?” by Elizabeth Browning and “Stop All the Clocks, Cut Off the Telephone” by W.H. Auden, share unimaginable amounts of love from both a cheerful point of view and a gloomy one. Though love is love, and everyone on this earth experiences it in one shape or another. Love is inevitable to one. Thanks to books and poems, they can share the type of love that one dreams of, or a love where one dreads the day of ever coming. But love will always be love, and our world is nothing without
