Order and Chaos are Natural Events in Eamon Grennan’s Poem, One Mornin

The poem “Morning” by Frank O’Hara is about the poet missing someone and is unable to live without them. The poem can also mean reliving the life one used to have with someone, and suddenly doesn’t know how to go about life without thinking of them. The poem starts with the poet declaring his love for the person, but he is unable to go about life without thinking of that person. He misses the person, and he starts to think about what they are doing. He ends the poem begging the person not to leave him. The poem suggests that losing the person you love is like losing all happiness.

As the chaos of the world unfurls, the forces of good must counterbalance this force for without good, chaos holds no reference to compare it against to make chaos chaotic. This notion holds true for all forces in the universe as Newton’s famous Third Law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite re-action, thus when chaos reigns, good reacts to counterbalance chaos and bring the system into equilibrium. However, this relationship may not hold true forever as the reaction between chaos and good creates entropy - chaotic destruction - that eventually will bring chaos it's inevitable victory over good. Mankind attempts to create order through societal mores to dictate the chaotic nature of the world, however, when the falcon flies too far from its nest - the falcon falls into the perceived chaos of the world. When the Europeans reached too far into the heart of darkness of Africa, they attempted to create order where they perceived to be chaos, however, those who inhabit this so-called chaotic land saw the chaos of the furious European falcons and attempted to protect the good of their land.

The first line in this poem is only taken up by one word, ‘morning’ this may represent a peaceful approach to the day. I came to this conclusion

The tonal shift in the poem is accomplished through word choice and conveys how life changes over time. (Word choice is the strongest indicator of tone.) The reader feels the passing of time through the gradual change in atmosphere, created by the author’s use of words with different connotations. The narrator states that each day is, “mysteriously placed in your waking hand” (Collins 2). The connotation of mysteriously implies a particular enigma or a puzzle to be solved.

     Does turmoil in people promote chaos in the world, or does chaos in the world create turmoil in people? To uncover a single answer to such a question is impossible. Therefore, those who seek a solution find themselves at a stalemate, and the query posed becomes rhetorical. Nevertheless, it initiates another inquiry worth thought and reflection: since the chaotic world is already well established, whether or not a product of human havoc, how is one to escape it and live uninhibitedly? Fences, by August Wilson, The Awakening, by Kate Chopin, and Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë embody people who struggle against the chaos in the world to be rid of

But over time, keeping order became more and more difficult because people didn’t want to watch their friends and family suffer. Without chaos in the Maze, the Gladers could have survived with fewer casualties if the Gladers had united together in finding an escape route, not stand divided as they did. Implementing order in society is necessary to limit chaos and help people thrive in society. With less chaos, comes a time when people are more unified, a time when people are stronger and can make their voices more powerful and

When natural order is put in disarray, chaotic issues result as the end product. An example from the book which explains the side-effects that come with reconfiguring natural harmony, leading to undesirable results, is when Haber used Orr to make a better world based off of his ideologies alone. This leads to scenarios such as when Haber suggested to orr to dream of a an uncrowded world, causing the Plague Years to have surfaced in the past of the new reality, which had killed six billion people from existence. Another example in the novel where changing the natural rhythm of the world, leading to disadvantages amongst society, is when Haber strays from the natural organization of civilization and takes it upon himself to hypnotically suggest to Orr to dream of peace, resulting in a world where the earth is at war with aliens which stood

When people think of chaos, it is seen as something bad and destructive or complete disorder and confusion. Without chaos to show what could go wrong, we wouldn’t be able to learn and create order out of it. If there was no chaos, there would be no need for any heroism whatsoever. If everything and everyone was perfect, there would be no saving or help needed.

The narrator portrays a scene where “the sun is bright on the upland slopes; When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass, And the river flows like a stream of glass; When the first bird sings and the first bud opens, And the faint perfume from its chalice steals” (Dunbar lines 2-6). The words and phrases chosen have a positive connotation, painting a picture of a desirable setting. This sets the contrast for the rest of the poem by showing what the caged bird, introduced in the second stanza, is missing.

Simultaneously, Stafford assigns the morning a significance by personifying its actions. Bishop, however, ends the first line brusquely with a period, undoubtedly justifying that there is no anticipation of a new day or nature’s actions. As the poem progresses, Stafford employs more linking punctuation such as semicolons and commas to signify a fluidity and evolution from night to morning. “Lawns, a hedge; I pass…the yard with the little dog; my feet pad and grit…flicker past streetlights; my arms

The first line of the final stanza ties the whole poem together. The paradox of staying steady by shaking, we find an answer to the contradiction of life and death. The "shaking" is a metaphor for our natural fear of accepting our fate and having an open mind to the experience of our sleeping state of fantasy. We learn to stay steady and balanced when referring to fear and fantasy, waken and sleeping, life and death when all these things come in contact. Being alive, we learn to understand logical part of nature or life and death it is inevitable. Being living beings, we learn to let our minds wander into the unconscious state and understand its connection to the physical world. This poem shows that humans come to terms with " [W]hat falls

    The speaker uses the reader’s knowledge of the ocean to explain her own complexity. She is talking about herself in this poem and the way she feels. Shepherd discusses a number of heartbreaking emotions and experiences

This alludes to the humanity and fragility of his message. All odd-numbered lines are extrametrical. The human heart is easily influenced but an ideal gives support to steady any wavering. It is important to aim for ideals because they act as guidance throughout life and are a shield from outside influences that could potentially cause the heart to waver. Every stanza except for the first, has a rhyme scheme of; ABABCDCD, as the end rhyme. Everything fits into a succinct, structured pattern. The alternating rhyme scheme, and the alternating metrical scheme add emphasis to importance of pairs, which lends itself with the conditional phrases and pairing

    Abstract: I will show how chaos is can be found in art, specifically in literature, and analyze John Hawkes's Travesty to show the similarities between literature and chaos.

      The first three stanzas extol the wonders of the faery world and of faery life: they '... foot it all night/Weaving olden dances/Mingling hands and mingling glances', leading an idyllic life where the '...moonlight glosses/The dim grey sands with light', surrounded by scenes of breathtaking beauty and natural life.  This care-free existence is contrasted to the human world, for '... the [human] world is full of troubles/And is anxious in its sleep.'  Note, however, that the speaker is very ambiguous when mentioning these troubles, never confronting them directly, never clearly stating what they are.  There is a 'gap' here, a deflection from the supposed horrors of the human world.
