Poet Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Ozymandias pensively portrays Ramses ll as an enduring force throughout the ages. Weaving together past and present by placing temple ruins at the nucleus of the text, the author records for posterity the King’s immortality while brazenly alluding to his malfeasance as a flawed human.

Poets of the mid-twentieth century, such as Sylvia Plath and Robert Hayden, write poems surrounding the connection and disconnection solely between the speaker—the “I” in the poem—and a loved one, or someone they knew (e.g. Plath’s “Daddy and Hayden’s Those Winter Sundays)

In poetry, poets can shape every component (words, syntax, rhythm, punctuation, etc.) to convey a unique meaning. Small changes in such elements can have drastic effects on what the reader will draw from the poem. Often, poets will rely on some tools more than others to try and convey their meaning. Many times, the period in which the poet is writing will strongly influence how the poet uses these elements. John Donne and Gertrude Stein are considered shapers of metaphysical poetry and modern poetry

Comparing To his Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell and To his Mistress Going to Bed by John Donne In recent times I have compared and contrasted two pieces of love poetry, both of which are exceptionally lyrical and full of intellectual language that bring the poems alive with elaborated metaphors that compare dissimilar things, as they Inare equally, yet somehow individually both metaphysical poems. The first of these poems that I comprehended was 'To his Coy Mistress;' (written

her poetry the curiosity she has for life after death and the secrets it holds. These poets all use the similar technique of imagery to express the intense emotions they associate with both life and death. Furthermore, throughout the poems by Dickinson, Plath and Wright it is evident that each employ language techniques to portray their diverse beliefs and emotions regarding life and death. Finally, all three poets employ structure to illustrate the depth to which they regard life and death and the

Soon a generation of young poets began various experiments, which led to the creation of modern poetry. Some regarded themselves as the followers of Nima Youshij, but many, though inspired by his innovations tried to find an independent path. Fereidoon Tavallali, for instance, remained very restrained in his innovations, limiting them to a small variation of form.

I think that is why many poems are written about war, as anyone who was involved in

to decide what poets practise it and in which of their verses" (Eliot.) If we try to define the Metaphysical Poetry we can say that it is poetry that moves from the image to the conceit, from the visual to beyond the visual. George Herbert was among a group of poets together with John Donne, Andrew Marvell, Abraham Cowley and more, who were considered metaphysical poets. "It is difficult to find any precise use of metaphor, simile, or other conceit, which is common to all the poets and at the same
