The first time the oranges are introduced, the narrator simply tells you that he is "Weighed down with two oranges in my jacket". The bright image and color of the oranges immediately begins to infuse light, happiness, and love into the scene by contrasting with the cold, frosty December atmosphere. The oranges have the ability to do this because of a connotative connection with the bright color of the oranges and light. Later, the narrator notices that the girl's porch light is always on despite the weather or the time of day. This image again brings up light that in turn reflects back to the brightness of the oranges. Then the girl appears, "Pulling at her gloves, face bright with rouge". The bright rouge color in her face links her with the oranges and their light, as well. Every image that includes light adds to the growing feeling of love and warmth within the dreary surroundings, because love and warmth are most often associated with light and happiness. This everlasting light reappears again and again throughout the poem shown through light in the girl's eyes, her smile, and the way the orange looks like fire in the boy's hands. Every contrasting image of light is linked to another and continuously intensifies the growing feeling of young love and happiness.

"The meaning of a word - to me - is not as exact as the meaning of a color. Colors and shapes make a more definite statement than words. I write this because such odd things have been done about me with words. I have often been told what to paint. I am often amazed at the spoken and written word telling me what I have painted. I make this effort because no one else can know how my paintings happen. Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest."

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.

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

A poem is such a powerful piece of art, for it is so open to interpretation. Fischl has constructed a piece so complex one could just brim the surface of the thoughts potentially influenced by this poem. The poem constantly repeats but each interval pulls you deeper into the large vat of anger, calm, disgust, and regret. Peter L. Fischl opens with a simple stanza. “I would like to be an artist So I could make a painting of you Little Polish Boy.” The calm, regretful

To further on talking about the similarities about the poem and the novel and how people think something different then they act.

The poems “Cat!” and “Paul Revere’s Ride” are diffrent in many ways. Every poem has a type of style, some rhyme, some tell stories, and some paint pictures in your head.

If the reader has an open mind and the ability to read in between the lines, they discover more than they have bargained for. Some poems might have stories of suffering or abuse, while others contain happy times and great joy. Regardless of what the poems contains, all poems display an expression. That very moment when the writer begins his mental journey with that pen and paper is where all feelings are let out. As poetry is continues to be written, the reader begins to see patterns within each poem. On the other hand, poems have nothing at all in common with one another. A good example of this is in two poems by a famous writer by
