An enormous amount of imagery and specific language choices have been used by Dawe within the poem. The

Another technique of emphasis used throughout the poem is the use of imagery. Coleridge personifies the nature around him by comparing it to abstract nouns - the white flowerd Jasmin represents Innocence, the broad-leavd

This is a poem that problematizes ‘language’. “Language plays an altogether fundamental role in human thinking, and it bestows on man his unique ability

     Frost moves onto autumn and shows what little life is left begins to wither and fall, or as he put it in the first line of the third set ?Then leaf subsides to leaf.? The playful spirit of the young is lost in time as age quickly pours what seems like endless duties upon adults. Things once learned are forgotten and the sun creeps slowly below the horizon. Time once again takes it toll on all things living

11. A poet can work its magic on the reader by “choice of images, music of the language, idea content, and cleverness of wordplay” (Foster 17).

The language in the poem has extremely powerful qualities which invoke vivid imagery. Metaphor, repetition, assonance and various punctuation techniques are used to highlight the poems themes and mood. "Metho Drinker's" prayer is by far the most powerful language in the poem. He is asked to be relieved of the

The poem, "The Bells," by Edgar Allan Poe, reveals the theme of changing seasons through word choice, symbolism, and poetic elements, like onomatopoeia, alliteration, and metaphors. Each stanza represents a different season with different meanings. The first stanza represents spring; a jolly, happy season. This stanza includes multiple samples of onomatopoeia and words that indicate mood. Lines that indicate this include lines 1, 3, 8, 11, and 14. These lines say, "Hear the sledges with the bells... what a world of merriment their melody foretells... With a crystalline delight... To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells... From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells." The words, "sledges," "merriment," "crystalline delight," and "melody" all mean happiness. The calm and joyful sound of the bells that are "jingling and tinkling" indicates the joyfulness and calmness of the beginning. Spring is a joyful season, with blossoming flowers and being able to enjoy the sun after winter. Then, the second stanza mostly relates to summer, an also happy and enjoyable season. The second stanza represents an also jolly and harmonizing mood. Lines 15, 17, 19, and 35 show characteristics of onomatopoeia and symbolism. The lines show, "Hear the mellow wedding bells... what a world of happiness their harmony foretells... how they ring out their delight... to the rhyming and the chiming of the bells!" This indicates the "mellow wedding bells," an iconic example of symbolism. The wedding bells show a time of happiness, as it's usually a memorable and joyful event for many. Then, the "world of happiness their harmony foretells" and how they "ring out their delight" shows examples of onomatopoeia, which lets the reader realize that it's a harmonizing and peaceful sound. This stanza resembles the season of summer; a time to relax and have memories and fun. Then, as the poem progresses, it reaches a more dark state. The third stanza represents a sad and somewhat scary mood. Examples of alliteration and onomatopoeia are present throughout this stanza, like on paragraph 38, 40, 45, 58-59, and 69 have numerous examples of this. The lines indicate, "What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells... how they scream out

Imagery was also used in the poem.  I found that the yellow in the first line represented that the future the writer was facing was bright and warm regardless of his choice.  The undergrowth was, as undergrowth in any forest, damp and dank smelling, but not necessarily unpleasant, just something that the writer would have to face.  The image of traveling through a forest also brings to mind thoughts of birds in flight, chirping and singing.  Squirrels dashing through trees, rustling leaves and dropping the occasional acorn or nut also create an image of sight and sound.  The sun reflecting through the trees, casting shadows and creating pockets of warm and cool air and the occasional breeze stirring through the trees are also brought to mind by this poem.  The end of the poem brings to me

Nature played a major role in this poet's life but it was not all about his physical senses that he took as reality. It was due to the fact that he was a "worshipper of Nature" (152) and he knew that "nature never did betray" (122) him. And those thoughts were what had comforted and encouraged him to connect with nature through his mind. He wanted to affirm to his readers that his mind not only receives sensation and

Poetry has a role in society, not only to serve as part of the aesthetics or of the arts. It also gives us a view of what the society is in the context of when it was written and what the author is trying to express through words. The words as a tool in poetry may seem ordinary when used in ordinary circumstance. Yet, these words can hold more emotion and thought, however brief it was presented.

Walt Whitman loved to experiment with form when it came to poetry. He used his verses to show his complete adoration of all things wild, and our role as beings in this infinitely complex and thought-provoking universe in which we exist. To say he had a bit of a “nature crush” would be an understatement – Whitman goes in to great detail of his love for the wildness and often describes his emotions in a viscerally sexual manner, using poetic devices to underline his immense feelings for environment and hammer in the imagery to readers of how majestic the world appears to him. “Romantic” poets loved the outdoors – if it wasn’t contained in four walls and a roof, they were all about it. They loved to praise the innate details that made our planet so incredible,

In the third stanza, the speaker praises the urn for its eternal youth and zeal. "Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed your leaves, nor ever bid the spring adieu.”(lines 21-22) He admires the trees that cover the lovers for they will not loose their leaves over the changing seasons. For this he it seems is grateful and feels happy. Moreover, the use of word spring is of key importance for spring signifies the start of a new seasonal cycle of
