Poem For The Girl Who Kicked My Boyfriend Poem

Both poems are themed about their unbreakable bond of love and are free verse. Because both poems use “I” they are 1st person point of view. Most poems have repetition as these

The poem is written in free verse, offers no type of rhyme scheme, and in one long stanza. This contributes to

The poem does not follow a rhyme scheme or meter, which means that there is rhythm in the poem and it makes the poem more like a song. The poem has four stanza’s and has five lines within each stanza.

In the third stanza it states that “If she wants to grill anything, it's her husband spitted over a slow fire. This quote makes me feel that she want to kill her husband because he is probably not helping her at home and making her his slave. I believe that this person is tired of cooking and being a slave to her husband. In the end of the poem, it also states “During dinner is not incompetence but war”. This means that this happened for a long time I believe that women all over the world are being mistreated and they should stand up for what they believe in. Therefore women should be treated the same way men are being

A more disturbing perspective that the poem can take on is that the speaker wants to be the slave to this woman he admires. As mentioned before, the speaker considers the girl as a confidante, but then follows on to say that he wants to undress and take her virginity. “O she’ll give pleasure! in future, no grown man will deny it! But tonight, to me, this chaste girl bares unthinking the delicate blush/Of a most secret landscape, her woman’s body” (9-14). These lines also gave me pedophilic vibes because he calls the female figure “a girl” and it was interesting

Knowing that this fit effortlessly into the manner of this poem, where the speaker is in the inner confusion trying to figure out their next move in the relationship, while it does not seem very hopeful as the lines states, “I would like to see you walk off the face of the earth because you all that’s wrong with my life” (L 20). When I first read "Purple Bathing Suit", I perceived a husband addressing his wife. But then I went on to read and analyze the poem and was surprised to find the speaker described as a woman viewing her lover weed the garden. I wasn't certain if the subject was a spouse or lover, but I felt certain that the speaker was male. But, I see no more reason for thinking that the speaker is male than for thinking the speaker is female. I think individuality such as how one feels about themselves and talking as they saw their own reflection in a mirror matters in this poem which is all about a relationship and uncertainty. “You might give some thought to that mouth."(L 3) This is the way that a parent speaks to a naughty child. "How many times

the boy is quite excited and happy that he had hurt the cat that had

The author uses the poems structure and stanzas to help get her point across. The poem is composed of four stanzas with a total of 25 lines. Each stanza signifies a different part of the child’s life. The stanzas have irregular lengths and structures. The numbers of lines in each stanza vary from five to seven. Piercy separates the pieces of the story by stanzas to tell the girls story so the audience could see how she was treated since birth. For instance the first stanza talks about her birth and adolescent years, while the third and forth stanzas talk about the end of her life.

However, the poem is not uninteresting as the words used to create such tone are emotive and effective to stir up the reader to experience the pain of not being able to express them. Sound devices are also a great contribution to the overall theme as well. They are particularly effective as they help to create both the meter and tone of the poem. Alliteration is used such as "black bars" to emphasize the restrictions placed on the poem. Consistent rhyme in every stanza such as "page" and "rage" also suggests that the limitations on the poet's poetic inspiration are constantly there and cannot be broken

In the first stanza(,) rhyme is used to point out the emotional state of the speakers outlook,

Free verse is not just prose written with irregular line endings. Free verse is poetry without regular patterns of rhyme, rhythm or meter. Note: free verse has rhythm and meter. The pattern, however, is irregular. Rhythm is often created through the use of other poetic devices, including repetition, alliteration, and other sound devices. Although it is "free" of metrical restrictions, it is still patterned and unified by the conventional poetic devices of repetition, assonance, and alliteration. The article "the", ordinarily disregarded, begins seven of the eleven lines and establishes a pattern that is seen on the page and heard when the poem is given voice. Alliteration lends ear-pleasing melody in

The poem seems to be narrative.  It conveys not only a story about his daughter, but a story of life, and paints distinctive images in the reader’s mind.

Methods: The poet in the very first line uses he two words “Your” and “my” to create clear separation or division.

Tone is a major contributor to the work of the “Hate Poem”. “Tone is an aspect of point of view since it has a great deal to do with the narrator. Tone is the narrator’s predominant attitude toward the subject, whether that subject is a place, event, character or idea” (Writing Essays about Literature, Kelley Griffith page 46). When analyzing the “Hate Poem” by Julie Sheehan, “To understand the tone of the poem, we need to listen to the words, as we might listen to an actual conversation. The key is to hear not only what is being said but also how it is being said.” (Kennedy and Gioia) Her use of several styles of irony help with the tone she is trying to convey. She uses the word hate when it has the ability to actually mean it’s
