Route 62 Poem

One of the things that is so fascinating about poetry is that it allows readers to discover and sometimes challenge and channel their emotions as well as their understanding. A poem’s words as well as its structure can reveal many things to its intended audience. In “Myth” by Natasha Trethewey, the poems form is just as important as the words she writes, becoming a map for the journey Trethewey takes, using transitions to take us from one place to another. The nature of the poem therefor becomes multifaceted, as it encourages the reader to think about the speaker’s words and use of form and structure she uses to craft this epic story. Using form as a tool, Trethewey is able to use structure as a way to guide us as readers and the speaker across the conscious and unconscious thoughts and dreams the speaker faces in this story.

The study of any poem often begins with its imagery. Being the centralized idea behind the power of poetry, imagery isn’t always there to just give a mental picture when reading the poem, but has other purposes. Imagery can speak to the five senses using figurative language as well as help create a specific emotion that the author is trying to infuse within the poem. It helps convey a complete human experience a very minimal amount of words. In this group of poems the author uses imagery to show that humanity is characterized as lost, sorrowful and regretful, but nature is untainted by being free of mistakes and flaws and by taking time to take in its attributes it can help humans have a sense of peace, purity, and joy, as well as a sense of

This text response will be looking the comparison of the two poems, ‘Drifters’ by Bruce Dawe, And ‘In the park’ by Gwen Harwood under the name of Walter Lehmann. Drifters is about a seemingly constantly moving family, it describes the process the family will go through leaving their newest home. In the park is about a seemingly single mother raising her children, it describes the mother sitting in the park with her children when a previous lover comes by and talks about the children. With in each poem, the form and structure, language techniques and the tone and message will be analysed and compared with the other to gather a grater understanding of the Australian voice.

As one expresses their reaction towards an event in history, opinions and emotion unravel itself. Ziadah and Long Soldier voice their beliefs differently through their tones in the poems. Ziadah shows a strong passion through her desire to get the media to display the truth of what is occurring in Palestine. She talks with an authoritative, powerful voice to effectively capture the reporters and viewers in understanding the current injustice. Her choice of performing this poem as a spoken word exemplifies her inner desire to educate people on the current events and prove there is more happening behind the medias coverage. As one watches her passion becoming exposed during her performance, it is seen that the people of Palestine are truly

In the Robert Frost poem ‘’The Road Not Taken’’ there is a pervasive and in many ways intrinsic sense of journey throughout. In such, the poem explores an aspect associated with human decision, or indecision, relative to the oxymoron, that choices with the least the difference should bear the most indifference, but realistically, carry the most difficulty. This is conveyed through the use of several pivotal techniques. Where the first such instance is the use of an extended metaphor, where the poem as a whole becomes a literary embodiment of something more, the journey of life. The second technique used is the writing style of first person. Where in using this, the reader can depict a clear train of thought from the walker and understand

When depicting the tremendous height and abruptness of the mountain he states that “It was like a window ledge on a skyscraper, no more than fourteen or sixteen inches wide”. Bryson’s use of the simile establishes an illustrative image in the reader’s mind and creates a lasting impression of the situation. This improves the author’s tone as it details the uncertainty and discouragement the men were facing during the hike. Furthermore, Bryson advances his narrative and tone with imagery as he adapts to the trail when it becomes hazardous with oncoming snow and freezing temperatures. Bryson describes his surroundings with a bleak and dreary attitude, for example, he states that “the path was broken by steep, thickly bouldered streams, frozen solid and ribbed with blue

Images in the poem reflect the difficulties of the choice the traveler faces. The difficulty is shown in the passage "long I stood" (3)

The Way to Rainy Mountain has a distinct pattern in its form.  In each section, it has three parts, each of whose separateness is clearly marked by its own place in each page and its own typeface: the legend, the history, and the personal memory.  The pattern, however, never makes it simple for the readers to understand the novel.  Rather, it confuses and bothers the readers by placing them where the double edges of reality meet.  On the one hand, there is a reality as the result of the dominant ideology, which has become a priori in many cases, and which has hidden that there is another reality (or possibly, multiple realities).  On the other hand, there exists another

Throughout the journey of life individuals experience many incidences of adversity that initially begin as obstacles however increase our inner strength. Throughout Bruce Dawes body of work ‘sometimes gladness’, such a concept is demonstrated especially in the poems ‘Migrants’ and ‘drifters’. Drifters is a poem that gives responders into the challenges of living a life on the move as well as the impact of such a lifestyle on the various members of the family, displaying the inner strength required to embark on such a life long journey. Furthermore, ‘Migrant’s’ details the struggles associate with a migrant families bid to assimilate into an unknown land, an emotional and physical journey that truly tests ones inner strength.

Quotes: “deep and green”, “golden foothill slopes”, “rabbits sat as quietly as little grey stones (unafraid), “for a moment the place was lifeless”, “path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches.”

When I came out to my mother, I did it by accident. Drowsy and slipping through striped-yellow hours, dull drum of wheels on Ohio snow, I realized: something had disappeared. Not the charm of floral button-downs locked inside the trunk. Skin-tight jeans still stuffed beneath the seat. No. The poem: my attempt to breathe life into the Syrian man thrown from a building, met by stone-carrying children who were brought by their fathers to teach them what not to be. This poem, this confession (I’m not unlike that nameless man), I’d forgotten it in the printer back home, ink face-up, as though I wanted it there.

Although the tundra land was intriguing, there was a lot more to see; meandering down the valley, the grass (which was once a luscious green) has begun to grow dead, and dry. The shadowy sky – which is filled with ubiquitous clouds – reflects the decaying ground. It is a shield against the sun; it

Imagery is the primary concept of this work. The two roads are each described in such a way that the reader can easy

The first section of Laconics is “North”. Within the section of “North” the speaker of the poems allows the reader private access to his stream of consciousness as he ventures into the Canadian landscape. In contrast to Moore’s review, the speaker does more than deliver “unemphasized rhymes, a flattened rhetoric, and retreating verse patterns” (Moore 280) and instead creates a space in which man and nature interact interact, allowing the reader to question how man and nature affect each other. Looking at the poem “Plunging Into” we see the power nature holds and how man has no effect on its qualities. WIthin this poem the speaker describes the “northern water” (CITE) and the coldness, the “chill” that does not stop for any man, or any season.

The four time Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Robert Frost, is well known for his picturesque portrayal of rural lifestyle, focusing mainly on the New England region of the United States. “The Road Not Taken”, published in 1916 is one of his earliest written and most highly praised works. It is considered a masterpiece of American Literature and its content is frequently studied by high school and college students to this day. The poem is a closed frame narrative type consisting of four stanzas with a rhyme scheme of ABAAB. While being the most popular of the numerous poems written by Robert Frost, it has also been one of the most misinterpreted and openly interpreted poems of his
