    This poem appears to be a dramatic monologue, spoken by the character at a moment when he/she was approaching death. Using key terms within the last stanza, we can infer the speaker is approaching death. Therefore, the tone of the poem should be that of sadness or despair, but as one can see, the speaker is trying to convey hope towards the end of the poem (representing the end of life). The rhyme scheme is identical in both stanzas; however, it does not follow any standard pattern. The rhyming sequence is unique. If counting the lines, all of the even numbered lines from the second stanza follow the same rhyme sequence as the first stanza. In addition, the first three odd lines of each stanza rhyme with themselves, but lines seven and nine of each stanza rhyme with each other, independent of the other odd lines.…

    Puritan marriage normally was repressed so as not to distract their life from their devotion to God. In that time, women normally passed away before men. It was very common for men in that time to remarry rather quickly after the death of his wife to make sure the family is taken care of. However, Anne expressed the bond of love that binds humanity within the divine in her poems. “To My Dear and Loving Husband” conveys Anne Bradstreet’s strong love for her husband: “I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold”. The same poem also expresses her idea of everlasting love between their selves after life on earth which is normally not of typical Puritan belief: “That when we love no more, we may live ever”. And again, “A letter To Her Husband” communicates her strong love, passion, and unity with her husband: “If two be one, as surely though and I”. The quotes from her poems represented how much she did love and care for her husband in which was rather strong feelings for a Puritan relationship.…

    Because the poem is long, it won’t be quoted extensively here, but it is attached at the end of the paper for ease of reference. Instead, the paper will analyze the poetic elements in the work, stanza by stanza. First, because the poem is being read on-line, it’s not possible to say for certain that each stanza is a particular number of lines long. Each of several versions looks different on the screen; that is, there is no pattern to the number of lines in each stanza. However, the stanzas are more like paragraphs in a letter than they are poetic constructions. This is the first stanza, which is quoted in full to give a sense of the entire poem:…

    Bradstreet on the other hand uses metaphors and rhythm scheme to restate her love for her husband and emphasize that love is unconditional and undying. Bradstreet in To My Dear and Loving Husband, uses nature as a primary metaphor in her epistle. The use of rivers as an example that a women as a wife could never have another man take away the love of her husband. Another example is her metaphor of the mines and gold, presenting that she loves him more than material wealth. Bradstreet’s emphasis of metaphors become exaggerated showing the large amount of love Bradstreet has for her husband. Bradstreet also uses rhyme scheme to over exaggerate her love toward her husband. Bradstreet uses couplets to show the unity of her and her husbands relationship…

    “To My Dear and Loving Husband” is written in iambic pentameter as shown in these two lines: “If ever wife was happy in a man, / Compare with me, ye women, if you can.”Most of the poem sticks to this particular metrical pattern. The rhyme scheme is AABBCCDD and EEFF, which means there are rhyming couplets in the entire poem. In the whole poem, the eighth line is an exception, as it does not completely rhyme with the ninth line. However, the final words of the eighth and ninth lines, “quench” and “recompense,” both contain the “-en” sound. This is an apt use of near rhyme, or slant rhyme.…

    This poem is a form of Haiku, a Japanese poetry that contains 5 syllables in the first line, and 7 syllables in the second line and 5 syllables in the third line. It’s more Haiku than sonnet or sestina. Three stanzas each are containing eight lines that rhyme. That makes it much easier to understand the poem. Especially if you read it out loud.…

    This poem has no set pattern that is constant throughout. It has eleven sections in which are broken down into quatrains. Some verses are very different from others adding a trace of a story. Therefore, the verses do not follow the same rhyming scheme, making the poems emotion serious and mature. The lack of verse form also adds to these emotions.…

    One of the poems in the book Philippine Literatures that had caught my attention is the poem “Patalim”, written by Cirilo F. Bautista. The said poem is a part of Bautista’s famous work, TiniksaDila: IsangKatipunanngmgaDula. The poem struck my heart for it literally talks about how a couple express their love to one another by means of fighting, and I surely can’t deny the fact that I somehow can relate to it. The couple in the poem fights over dominance. I believe that there are many couples out there that are also like the couple in the said poem. They fight and argue the whole time over simple things. Shouts, foul words, an big furious eyes are just some few words that your mind can think of when you hear the phrase, “a fighting couple”. To some, when they see an arguing couple over the street, over a fastfood chain or anywhere else, they will think that how come these couple fight, don’t they love each other enough that they can’t even control their emotions?…
