Introduction
These poems are all written based off of my, Miciah’s, opinions. I have a distinct perspective on religion, therefore I chose to write a poem describing hate and love and how I thing religion is a dumb idea. My poem is titled “Hate and Love”, based off of the poem “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost. In it I concur to what religion claims, symbolically saying that religion is wrong and not serious. I used the same exact syllables and rhyme scheme as “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost. “Pie” is simply an original poem by me. It has no significant meaning what-so-ever. I also have a sense of humor therefore I wrote poems that are humorous yet meaningful if the reader decides to read deeper into the meaning of

I used the imagery, pattern and rhyming in a similar manor to William Blake’s poem “Tyger”. “Poetry” is simply about how I am not meant to be a poet. It has a similar subject as “How Poetry Comes to Me” by Gary Snyder in the sense that they both are relating poetry and themselves to create a poem. Under my bed is another haiku that doesn’t have a deep meaning but is based off of Matsuo Basho’s “Under Cherry Trees”. Basho’s haiku talks about under a cherry tree whereas my poem is more humorous, and is about the underside of my bed.
Clothes
Clothes are debatably the smartest things ever made
They keep your junk from being displayed
But not only that,
They are good resting grounds for your domestic cat
Clothes are clothes and will never change
Unless you and a friend decide to exchange
My Name Is
Who am I, you ask?
I am known as Miciah
But to most, just “Friend”
(Based on After Basho by Carolyn Kizer)
Hate and Love
People say the world will end in hate
Some say in love
But, please, let us not discriminate
I think we could live without the hate
For those thinking of an above
Have another thing coming their way
Was land in fact spotted by that dove?
But neigh I say
Not the right glove
(Based on Fire and Ice by Robert Frost)
Pie
I like pie,
And you like pie.
Boy! Aren’t we cool!?
Once Called Home
Home is to live in a place you love
Home feels like a place sent from above
It’s free from the hatred and disgust
It clears you a nice
Reflections Within is a non-traditional stanzaic poem made up of five stanzas containing thirty-four lines that do not form a specific metrical pattern. Rather it is supported by its thematic structure. Each of the five stanzas vary in the amount of lines that each contain. The first stanza is a sestet containing six lines. The same can be observed of the second stanza. The third stanza contains eight lines or an octave. Stanzas four and five are oddly in that their number of lines which are five and nine.

Take a minute to imagine “Men looking like they had been/attacked repeatedly by a succession /of wild animals,” “never/ ending blasted field of corpses,” and “throats half gone, /eyes bleeding, raw meat heaped/ in piles.” These are the vividly, grotesque images Edward Mayes describes to readers in his poem, “University of Iowa Hospital, 1976.” Before even reading the poem, the title gave me a preconceived idea of what the poem might be about. “University of Iowa Hospital, 1976” describes what an extreme version of what I expected the poem to be about. The images I
poems deal with a variety of themes – life, love, loss and pain along with the
Poets have written love poems for centuries with the first said to be around 1000BC. But what is love? It is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as ‘ to have attachment to and affection for’. However, after studying various love poems, I have found that love is portrayed in many different ways. It can be possessive, hateful and pure and the fact that William Shakespeare said ‘The course of true love never did run smooth’ suggests that love is more complicated than a simple dictionary definition.
The most obvious poetic devise of this poem is the rhyming scheme. Rhyming is when there is close similarity in the final sounds of two or more words or lines of writin.
Frost further points out that the stretch of woods being viewed is very rural. This is made possible by the reference to the location between the woods and frozen lake. In closing the final sentence of the second stanza Frost reiterates the fact that this occurs on “the darkest evening of the year” stating the darkness of the mood.
Poems may or may not have similar themes. They may talk about life, death, beliefs, or disasters. Take a look at poems by Poe, Hushes, and Morrison and you will see a wide array of topics.
Richard Blanco is a Cuban- American poet who was given the oppurunity to write an inaugaration poem for Barack Obama's second swearing-in. He wrote a poem titled "One Today" that praised the good and unique things about the United States and also the everyday people who's daily routines help to make America the proud country that it is.
In this essay I am going to compare and contrast ‘When we two parted’ a poem of George Gordon, Lord Byron’s written in 1815 and Letitia Elizabeth Landon’s ‘Love’s last lesson’ written in c1838, both poets are British and of the romantic period.
Good morning fellow panel members today I have been asked to research and analyse a poem for Get Poetic, which will inspire our target audience and gain an interest in poetry. Poetry is powerful tool which changes the way people look at the world. I believe the song “We Are Going to Be Friends.” By The White Stripes, is a great song to spark, an interest for poetry in our target audience. This song is about a school child’s day and this song is definitely thought provoking and I am sure it is a suitable choice for Get Poetic.

Poetry is a varied art form. Poetry is expression with words, using aesthetics and definition. Word choice in poetry is the single most important thing. Devices such as assonance, alliteration and rhythm work in a poem to convey a certain image or to facilitate understanding. Similes and metaphors can take two unlike objects, such as a potato and cinderblock, and if done the correct way use them to describe how Abraham Lincoln dealt with scoundrels. Poetry is beautiful. One of the best genres in poetry, let alone a great literary movement is Romanticism or the post-enlightenment Romantics.
Some of the poems and essays I have read during this class were relatable to me. Being away from college, I have struggled with not being at home. I have become a different person when I am at school, but when I am home, I feel like I am my normal self again. Some of these authors of the poems and essays that I have read throughout this class has struggled with being somewhere where they don’t belong and that they are someone else when they are not home. Unlike the other poems and essays we have read throughout the course. I enjoyed reading the ones about “home” because I actually understood what they are going through and that I can relate. Some of these poems and essays include “Going Home” by Maurice Kenny, Postcard from Kashmir”, by Agha Shahid Ali, “Returning” by Elias Miguel Munoz and “Hometown” by Luis Cabalquinto. All of these poems deal with duality.
