Song Analysis: Pent House Cloud

“Blown Away” by Carrie Underwood works as a poem because “Blown Away” is a country song and country songs like to tell a story, therefore this song would make a great narrative poem. Having imagery and metaphors in this song shows that it would make a great poem because it shows many aspects of poetry. This song uses many forms of imagery, which helps to paint a picture in the reader’s minds. It also uses many examples of metaphors to help create a deeper meaning to the song if it were to become a poem.

This song is comprised of 9 food filled stanzas. And no, not the food you eat...food for thought. There is not really a set pattern to these stanzas, though..considering the fact it is still a song..there is kind of a set pattern. It uses repetition for the following lines: If we were made in his image then call by our names, most intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same..On and on and on and on my cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone.

Both poems have alliteration. Some of the first lines have alliteration. “Light like a green

The fourth stanza begins with, We sing sin, a line that can also have multiple meanings. If taken from a paradox angle, the gentleness and innocence of singing contradicts with the literal meaning of sin. This method of verbal irony is what keeps the tone consistently light throughout

As the power of a song resides completely in its lyrics, it is no longer surprising that music can be healing, inspiring, or even motivating. After introducing this insight to my life, it became very rare for me to listen to any Imagine Dragons’ song without it leaving an impact on my life and my perspectives. Imagine Dragons is a rock band whose music tends to address both personal and social issues. It’s Time, one of their biggest hits and most influential songs, was written by the band’s lead singer Dan Reynolds during a difficult time in his life. “ I was not very happy with who I was, I guess, and I wanted to make some changes” says the singer in an interview with Purevolume , in which he addresses It’s Time as a poem he wrote to express

In Stanza 1, there is repetition within the lines in order to differentiate the importance

     Another contrast is the vision of the woman before the bombing at the church and after the bombing at the church. At the beginning she is described in a whole stanza, as if a camera were slowly panning her entire figure. Her beautiful hair and white clothing make one think of a pure, angelic figure. Then, suddenly, in one line, her description is a new one, “Her eyes grew wet and wild.” It seems like the camera now just flashed to her face as it turns to look at it. The short verses long descriptions show the reader her state of being. The long lined description gives a feeling of sereneness, then the one-liner shows the reader her panic and shock

Stanzas 1, 3, and 5 have similar structure in that they are written in free

In the book TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee, the mockingbird is a symbol of fairness and respect for people who do things for you. It symbolizes that people can be righteous even if they have different political and moral views from you. Just like “shootin’ a mockingbird” is a sin because it sings its heart out (pg. #), similarly it is a sin to do something bad to someone who does good. general town

In the first stanza, the first speaker states events that happened, but the second speaker has more visuals and gives a sense that the gardens are the same. The first speaker in the second stanza is naming different swivels and is explaining the selection of swivel, while the second speaker is naming a single object, and is describing rather than explaining. In the third stanza, the first speaker is praising the right idea, while using negatives for the bad idea, and the second speaker is describing the qualities of the blossoms by using imagery. The fourth stanza has the first speaker explaining the movement of the bolt using technical terms, while the second speaker is explaining the movement of bees in more descriptive verbs. In the last stanza, the former speaker is using pauses in speech to show differences in the ideas from the different stanzas, but the latter speaker written in a better flowing line, showing the relations between the three ideas of silence, gardens, and bees moving back and forth. While the two speakers use different diction and imagery, they also use different rhythms and sound devices.

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.

Some of the poetic devices that I found in this song were: repetition, refrain, imagery, alliteration, and free verse. Example of repetition is line 5-7. Example of refrain is line 5-11. Example of imagery is the first line “I wanna leave my footprints on the sand of time.” Example of alliteration is “I lived, I loved.” I believe the song doesn’t have rhyme or rhythm or meter so I think it is a free verse.

The first thing we notice is that the poem is written in three lines per stanza in iambic pentameter which means every line has ten syllables and is a sonnet (14 lines). Considering that the narrator is taking a slow and steady walk throughout the night, it gives the readers a set rhythm of his journey which also establishes a sense of desolation. As nothing changes, we begin to be get stuck in his unwavering walk of sadness as he recalls his dark emotions unable to escape this bubble of hopelessness. Even more so, by reading it outloud, we can hear how every stanza has a specific rhyme scheme. The first stanza finishes by “night”, “rain”, and “light”.

The Singer’s clearly felt that Kansas wasn’t truly a place they could call home. For starters, their house seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. No street led to the house, cars having to drive off the side of the highway into a clear route in the woods to reach it. Not that many visited the house, and if anyone did they would surely turn back as soon as they took one glance at the house. The two-story Singer house was intended to be painted a warm blue tone, but seemed to age into a dark navy blue. It seemed as if the house should be abandoned, some windows blocked off by boards of wood, their form of curtains. The townhouse seemed to be in desperate need of a house inspection, few pieces of roof shingle covering the ground surrounding the
