Time Of Year Iambic Pentameter
1,413 wordsMost of the 127 sonnets Shakespeare wrote to one of his close male friends are united by the theme of the overwhelming, destructive power of time, and the counterbalancing power of love and poetry to create and preserve beauty. Sonnet 73 is no different, but it does present an intriguing twist on this theme. Most of these sonnets address the youth and beauty of his male friend, as well as poetry's power to immortalize them, but number 73 addresses the author's own mortality and the friend's love...

Birches By Robert Frost
731 wordsBIRCHES BY ROBERT FROST Poetry, according to Coleridge, is the best words in their best order. Although this remark hardly satisfies the requirements of formal definition, it does assert an important fact: the order of the words in a poem is as material as the words themselves. A good poet labors harder than any other kind of writer to say exactly what he means, because he wishes to expose his thoughts rather than hide them. His passion for excuses is like the mathematicians. But unlike the math...

Figures Of Speech Similes And Metaphors
1,160 wordsJohn Masefield's poem Sea Fever is a work of art that brings beauty to the English language through its use of rhythm, imagery and many complex figures of speech.
