Spenserian stanza

Brooks also relies heavily on nuances within the structure and language to establish the message. The stanzas that contain information about school are longer and articulate. The lines flow and are inviting. When the lines about reality are read they are short, cold and very deliberate; they give a sense of rigidity. The language is very direct and in some case demanding “I must…”. All stanzas about what’s “real” are two lines long while the ones that focus on school are four lines long. The statements

The imagery used in this line makes all readers think of the pleasant and enjoyable act of popping small plastic bubbles repeatedly with the fingers. So once again, the partner is described positively, as a pleasure. The final line of the second stanza presents an allusion of “winters sleep”, something that refers to the act of hibernation, comparing it to the “bee dance”, a series of quick movements performed by a bee to communicate with other bees (8). When you think of hibernation you think of

many different levels. One of the main ways in which Duffy conveys this message is through structural devices. The structural progression of the poem is very ordered and logical; firstly defying traditional images of love, and then developing the stanzas by offering statements to justify this

figure by the myth of manifest destiny, he is conversely seen as a reckless tyrant by those who suffer the effects of his violence. The first stanza reveals a comic figure - "Starspangled cowboy" sauntering through his child-like fantasy while pulling a prop from the Hollywood simulacrum that supports his myth. Atwood complicates this image in the second stanza when she introduces violence to her "almost- /silly" characterization of the mythical "West." Using a line break to accentuate the transition

overlapping significance. The poem can be analyzed for the prominence of "threes" that form layers of multiple meanings within its three stanzas. In each of the three stanzas, key words can be examined to show (through the use of the OED) how Donne brilliantly chose them because of the various connotations they had to his audience. Finally, each of the three stanzas contains completely different moods that reflect the speaker’s emotions as the situation changes. Upon knowing some of John Donne’s

insinuating that they once lived, but now they are mere figments of energy and air. Keats’ poem six stanzas of ten lines each in iambic pentameter, he begins his poem with a passage from Matthew 6:28, “They toil not, neither do they spin”, he uses this as reference for describing the three figures of the poem. In other, simpler words, he is saying that the

in the first stanza that it has all been written in a positive format, which can tell us the appreciation of everything that was around him glazing in the sunlight. The second stanza has become a different type of stanza by becoming negative. This is to do with the change of view on the subject. The start of the second stanza "Then one hot day" Shows us that the main feature has changed. Heany has done this in a quick and sudden move although by the end of the first stanza everything

be he doesn’t know himself. May be, he is comparing the beauty of nature to something, but on a symbolic level, the snow strongly reminds me that the poem is set in winter, and which is also widely represented as the image of death. In the second stanza, I see that the speaker wonders about what his horse is “thinking” which shows his interests are also in the outside world too, like his horse. He also takes certain pleasure seeing the scene from what he imagines to be his horse’s perspective. I

The stanza is ended by stating that it's 'our mistakes' she is recognising that her partner is not all to blame and they need to share mistakes, this shows the first sign of putting her life back together. The poem moves on and tells us how

image falls, the speaker fears the ending of their love if she cries, as the speaker states: "So thou and I are nothing then, when on a diverse shore" (9). In the second stanza, the speaker tries to convince her that they are still together, even when they are separated, and begs her not to weep.        The second stanza opens with a ball image forming out of nothing into a globe.  A worker can take "a round ball . . .and quickly make that, which was nothing, all" (12).  The globe and their
