The Beep Poem

In poems it is essential to be a creative writer. The author uses many techniques from from exposing deep thoughts to giving humorous jokes throughout the sentence. As a human being, we may have difficult times in understanding what is trying to be said. We may agree or disagree depending our viewpoints on life. One of my Favorite poems is “The Ballad of Sue Ellen Westerfield” by Robert Hayden. My favorite poem is the type of poem that has some history and confusion. When getting the audience confused, it makes them want to know more and reread the whole passage again. Hayden’s poem is a fresh new opening that brought an old dimension, his creativity to open the minds of others and look back to the past.

A mid-October surprise greeted print media with the announcement that Playboy magazine would no longer feature nude women. CEO Scott Flanders noted “"You 're now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it 's just passé at this juncture.” The magazine will continue to picture women in provocative poses; the running joke that men read Playboy “for the articles” will now carry more credence as the magazine attempts to compete with the likes of Vice. Playboy is struggling. Distribution is down from a high of 5.6 million to 800,000 copies today. Despite the decline of America’s foremost men’s magazine, the cultural impact of Playboy is extensive. Best known for nude pictorials, Playboy created an idealization of straight masculinity, through consumerism, that hoped to change American views on feminism, monogamy and romance. Let’s examine how.

The poem contains two stanzas with two different settings. One might not know much about the first stanza; however, in the second one the speaker is next to an ocean, perhaps, at a beach. So, while the first stanza symbolizes the mindset of the speaker, the inner dream, the second stanza symbolizes the outer dream which is what we see; life. The poem

Everyone remembers his or her first crush. Making the grand leap during adolescence from a child to a teenager brings about many unusual feelings and thoughts. It is usually around this time when most boys and girls begin to develop strong emotions directed toward the opposite sex, which can lead to some odd behavior. In Melanie McCabe’s poem “Paperboy,” the speaker uses imagery to make a coming of age poem much more vivid as she describes how a local paperboy made her feel as a young girl during this important transition in life.

In the first stanza it is the semantic field of water: ‘waters’ (twice), ‘sea’, ‘drowning’ and ‘being drawn’. As I mentioned earlier, water is often the symbol of life but it also evokes tears, sadness and despair.

Though written in a very light and simple manner, the poem comes across as something very profound, laden with meaning through its incongruities. The persona, wanting to see something, often goes to the well and looks down at the water to see it. This certain search below the water's surface can be compared to man's search beneath the human experience for meaning, for certainty.

There is not one day you haven’t heard or seen on the news about someone being murdered. Some things sound so unreal,yet this is the place we call our home. Yerman also discussed how people hate on each other for who they are physically or mentally. Many people pick out other people’s insecurities to make them feel better. Another topic mentioned in the poem,we are all so close to each other;yet we are still apart.

Everyone is influenced by their surrounds, and the people they choose to be around, whether they are being influenced in a positive or negative way, in Macbeth’s case, he was highly negatively impacted. Macbeth starts out as a good person, and good soldier, true to his king, that is, until he meets the weird sisters who predict he himself will be king. With the influence of his wife, he becomes treacherous, and no longer has a know between right and wrong. By the end of the story, Macbeth was so caught up in his ambitious power hungry circle that he ended up getting killed by it, after having just about everyone turn on him. The negative influences that affect Macbeth for the worst throughout the story happen to be his wife, his conscience, and three weird sisters he meets one day in a field; all of these influences change Macbeth for the worst, causing turmoil all throughout the story.

Through my studies of this poem, I was unable to find any documentation of the poet, Jim Stevens; therefore I was unable to assess his life and his reasoning behind writing this poem. Because of this I have had to make my own assumption that Jim Stevens might be writing this poem about himself. His lack of publication leaves a

“The relationship between the energies of the inquiring mind that an intelligent reader brings to the poem and the poem’s refusal to yield a single comprehensive interpretation enacts vividly the everlasting intercourse between the human mind, with its instinct to organise and harmonise, and the baffling powers of the universe about it.”

The poem begins with the narrator's describing the poem as a 'dream' that ''was not at all a dream'', which already causes doubt and tension within the reader. The narrator then goes on to talk about

Since it does, when reading each line, there is a resilient connection that allows the reader to put together and feel for what the narrator is speaking of. As each line is metrically linked, the words are further recited in a durable voice and the poem is virtually put together, musically. In the first and second lines of the third stanza, an apostrophe, a figure of speech that directly addresses an absent person or entity, is presented, “We smile, but O great Christ, our cries to thee from tortured souls arise.”

"Bye mom im going to go to the park with Keller". Wait! Mom said. You have you first day of dance camp. Oh right I said.
