Poems And Song Comparison

Cummings often used metaphors in his poems to cleverly express his feelings of both good and bad. Comparisons, metaphors or extended metaphors are seen throughout his work, most commonly comparing Cummings subjects to nature. By using metaphors throughout his poem, Cummings helps the reader understand what he is truly meaning, and how he may see things, as they differ for each person. In his poem “I Have Found What You Are Like”, an extended metaphor is explored throughout his work, as Cummings compares this special someone to certain aspects in nature. He starts off his poem comparing the person as a whole, to a specific part of nature, “i have found what you are like/the rain”. Though this statement could have been confusing, throughout the poem, he further elaborates his true intentions of comparing her to rain. After a subject change in the poem, Cummings specifically compares his feelings when his subject smiles as an “stirringofbirds between his arms”. Hence more specifically explaining his heart beating fast by the coolness of her smile. This also makes the poem interesting as it keeps his theme of nature. In a separate poem, he again relates his subject to nature, stating, “it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant/and whatever a sun will always sing is you”. These two lines of his poem “[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]” explains to whoever this is written to that he is the light in his life,

Charlotte Dymond and John Lomas, are two poems which share several techniques. They also, however are different in many ways. This essay will explore their similarities and their differences and explain reasons why the two ballads are different or similar.

Dawn revisited is a poem about the new ideas one could have in life and how it is easy to start again if things don’t go too well, as the poem starts with ‘imagine you wake up with a second chance’ which automatically introduces the topic to the reader. The poem is laid-out in a way that – especially ‘hawks his pretty wares’ - gives us an unimaginable image of the beauty of dawn, a description that would want people to manage their time in order to see it. The poet states ‘if you don’t look back the future never happens’ which shows us that one could only learn by making mistakes and that she perhaps learnt from experience and does not want people to miss out on the beauty of nature just like she might have done previously. She suggests

Aside from the connections and similarities both of these poems are actually quite different. In Cummings’ poem the time cycle such as, “spring summer autumn winter” (3). Has the effect that time goes by quickly and the little things almost are insignificant. Also in Cummings’ poem he had mentioned how children grew to forget, allowing for such interpretations like, once one grows up they loose who they once were. Where in Frost’s poem time slows down to make a choice that will alter one’s life. When he is deciding between the roads he has time to ponder and question his move having each movement being significant rather than insignificant. Also in Frost’s poem it is safe to assume that when making a choice one will use the knowledge and experiences they had as a child to make choices in the future allowing the reader to understand that one doesn’t simply loose who they once were, but one changes who they become through the choices they make.

The story and the song used in this comparison are “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway and “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson. Both of them deal with hope and strong urge of motivation. However, they deal with it in a distinctive yet a very similar way. This essay will convey the main settings, plots, and themes differences between the two pieces.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words. Good morning Ms Linton and students, today I will be informing you on why you must choose these two poems for the poetry speaking contest. The poems I have chosen are ‘The Man from Ironbark’, by Banjo Patterson as well as ‘He Started the Cycling Craze’ by myself. Narratives help the readers enjoy and understand poetry as it is a way the poets can connect to their readers by using storylines that may relate to them or something that they enjoy.

In the poems “Pamphillia to Amphilanthus” and “I… and Your Eyes,” there are similarities and differences. The poems are both about love. The poems have different perspectives on how they view love. The poems have the same subject, but in contrast have differences of how the subject is viewed. The poems’ styles and theme also have differences and similarities. Love is perceived differently in each poem.

Our experiences and life journey plays a big role in who we are and what our identity is, but its also internal. Tyler, like many of us, has struggled with issues such as depression, suicidal thoughts, feelings of inadequacy, and the feeling of being alone. These feelings and issues can often have a major effect on our identity and how we view the world, and it can often be seen in our creative expressions. Tyler Joseph found a way to channel these experiences through his music and connect with his listeners and acknowledge that life is not always easy and full of good things. Some specific lines from his music that resonates with young audiences come from the song “Screen” and say, “While you're doing fine, there's some people and I/Who have a really tough time getting through this life” (TØP lines 19-20). From just these lines alone it is clear that Tyler has had some ups and downs in his life that left memories or scars that stuck with him. These experiences, although unknown, had such a massive effect on him that he expresses them in his writing. They make up who he is now, and he uses his influence to let others know that they are not alone in what they’re feeling. Writing songs is not only a therapeutical way for him to speak his mind, but it is also a way to be honest with listeners and show them a raw and vulnerable side of someone that is often placed on a

There are many people who travel a distance in life to find the path they should take or to remember the path they once took. In the poem “The Path Not Taken,” by Robert Frost and the short story "I Used to Live Here Once" by Jean Rhys there are many similarities and differences. The authors’ use of describing a path helps them personify life’s journeys and self-reflection.

I think the way Cummings placed all the words in order, he represented a good story. As a reader I was enjoying and had a feeling that I’m reading a story. This sequence of words and step by step definition made it easily for me to understand better the whole meaning behind the poem. For example at first he started by giving an idea about people’s ordinary life that no one cares for each other anymore.

Poetry is used to express several different mediums through: structure, tone, imagery and rhyme schemes. John Keats’s ode “To Autumn” and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem “Kubla Khan” or, a Vision in a Dream” will be critically analyzed, compared and contrasted to each throughout this paper to further dissected the meaning of each poem.

The sonnet, “Time Does Not Bring Relief” by Edna St. Vincent Millay, and the poem, “Gouge, Adze, Rasp, Hammer” by Chris Forhan, are both about the emotional pain of a lost love. Both of the poems follow the narrators after their losses, but each speaker handles with their situation differently. The narrator in “Time Does Not Bring Relief” can not find liberation from her heart ache, and experiences a more powerful and unavoidable sadness than the narrator from “Gouge, Adze, Rasp, Hammer,” who copes with his heartache more successfully, and eventually begins the healing process, as exemplified by the use of tone, structure and imagery in these poems. Firstly, the difference in tone between the poems clarifies the fact that the woman in “Time Does Not Bring Relief” is inconsolable, while the man in “Gouge, Adze, Rasp, Hammer,” has begun the healing

Have you ever read two poems that are very similar, but have distinct differences? "The Grasshopper' by Conrad Potter Aiken and "The Tiger" by William Blake are excellent examples of two poems that are related while being distinct. "The Grasshopper" talks about a little grasshopper hopping about in the grass during the summer, playing his little song "like rusty fiddles." The other poem, "The Tiger", is about the creation of the tiger, and how it's different body parts, such as the heart and the brain, were made. Blake makes an analogy between a blacksmith making something with his hammer and anvil and a divine being creating the tiger. Both of these poems are about animals, but the poets are awestruck by the wonder and beauty of the grasshopper and the tiger. "The Grasshopper" is very lighthearted and informal, while "The Tiger" is more dark and formal.

In the poems you have studied a recurring theme is that of ‘loss’. This can take many forms: death; identity; hope or loss of innocence
