week 11: what I think about poetry

I enjoyed poetry a lot when I was younger, in fact I recited poetry at a poetry completion when I was I elementary school. But as I have gotten older I have read more complex poetry and realized that poetry is deeper than it seems and it may take numerous times to grasp what the poet is actually saying.

week 11 :Figures of speech

Shot me out of the sky
You're my kryptonite
You keep making me weak
Yeah, frozen and can't breathe


This song is by the famous group One direction, it contains a metaphor. Harry is singing this part.

week 10

Rashann Hatcher
In the poem "Loveless" from the Final Fantasy series it says "Even if the morrow is full of promises nothing shall forestall my return" meaning that nothing is going to stop him from returning even if he is love his dream he will return.

 :I think this quotes means promises dont mean anything to him


 Thomas Smith used a song form fat and furious 7
The song says "It's been a long day without you, my friend", someone could say that the person or thing could be someone far far away. A person may say this verse "I know we loved to hit the road and laugh, But something told me that it wouldn't last" could mean they ended the friendship on a bad note. Things could have so many different meanings but when a picture is painted like the movie things are clear.

:Too me the song thomas choose creates the images of two friends who miss each othe 

week 10: why images are important

Images can make your text come to life. Text do not come with vivid pictures so its up to the author to create one for the reader.
You know I dealt with you the nicest
Nobody touch me you nuh righteous
Nobody text me in a crisis
I believed all of your dreams, adoration
You took my heart and my keys and my patience
You took my heart on my sleeve for decoration
You mistaken my love I brought for you for foundation
All that I wanted from you was to give me
Something that I never had
Something that you've never seen. Are lyrics from Rihannas song "Work". As a reader I can visually see the someone texting me in a crises, and the singer being touched by her lover.

week nine: the use of mythological elements in poems

In the poem "Titanic" by David Slavitt, archetypes are used. "And the world, shocked, mourns, as it ought to do and almost never does" (822). David uses death and the meaning of existence. "We all go: only a few, first-class" (822).

week 8

"The poem "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" by Tupac Shakur is about having ambitions goals and reaching them despite the circumstances and conflicts we are faced,"  said Jay Styles.

workshop 8 fav poem theme

My favorite poem is Acquainted with the night by Robert Frost. The theme of Frost poem is isolation or loneliness. In the stanza below you can see frost portraying isolation to the reader.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.

I have passed by the watchman on his beat

And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
