Separating One Element Stanza Is Made Rhyme
1,135 words... t fit his scheme, another scheme, equally justifiable, could be suggested one which the poet apparently used equally often, here as well as in other poems in ARIEL. For instance, in the case of the rhymes "darkness" / "distance, " the rhyme works on the duplication of the initial "ds" and the final "ss"; in "arc" / "catch, "arc" ends in the consonant "c" which is picked up as the initial letter in "catch" (also the sequence "ac" in "arc" is reversed in "catch" to "ca"); the "k" in "dark" and...

Black Lace Fan Fan Was Handed Poem
729 wordsAt first glance one could easily form an opinion of what the contents of the poem The Black Lace Fan my Mother Gave me directly form the title. First, the use of the adjective, black, is generally used to portray a feeling of darkness, sorrow, or even death. Lace is a delicate, beautiful, and flamboyant material usually on the outside edge of other materials that could mean something in this poem may have a frail edge. The phrase my Mother Gave me presents a feeling that the fan has a sentimenta...

Wise Men Good Men
740 wordsThis is a very personal poem, written by Dylan to his dying father, and pleading him not to give in, but to fight death. However, even without knowing the background of the poem, the content is very self-explanatory. The poem is written in six stanzas, the first of which explains the purpose, and motivation of the poem. It uses very strong, and powerful words such as "burn", "rage", and "rave", and therefore suggest a sense of urgency in Thomas' plea. It also includes the term "close of day", wh...

17th Century Seduction Poems
1,079 wordsDuring the 17 th century, certain poets wrote poems with the specific purpose of persuading a woman to have sexual intercourse with them.

Robert Lowell On Skunk Hour The Stinky Criticism
644 wordsSteven Gould Axelrod and James E. B. Breslin's criticisms of Robert Lowells Skunk Hour agree about the significance and meaning of the first four stanzas. However they start to veer away from each other in their analysis of stanza five where there is an obvious shift in tone and direction. Both give a completely different analysis of the second half of the poem from the other with one skipping the end altogether. A slight deviation from commonality is apparent in Axelrod and Breslin's interpreta...

First Two Stanzas Stanza The Speaker
1,180 words'The Indifferent' by John Donne is a relatively simple love poem in comparison to his other, more complicated works. In this poem, 'he presents a lover who regards constancy as a 'vice' and promiscuity as the path of virtue and good sense' (Hunt 3). Because of Donne's Christian background, this poem was obviously meant to be a comical look at values that were opposite the ones held by Christians. According to Clay Hunt, '['The Indifferent'] is probably quite an early poem because of the simplici...

Oral Tradition Blues Songs
3,519 wordsStephen E. Henderson If the poet presents the blues through indirection in " Cabaret, " in " Memphis Blues" he presents them through the matrix of the oral tradition which helped to shape their growth.
