What Is The Theme Of The Poem Written By Billy Collins
This poem provided an amazing metaphor of the world. It would seem as a puzzling poem for those who didn't associate the title with the poem. Thus, It was a creative way of the poet to summarize the theme of the poem in the title. Additionally, the poet was able to connect to the readers with the use of images and comparison between the pencil and the world. Moreover, he used the white space to concentrated words and to allow the readers to reflect on the poem. The endings contained the element of surprise and engagement with the readers. For Example, the use of the line break in "-not pen. it's got" was a cliffhanger. In other words, this ending and the white space provided time for the readers to predict the the structure or the trait of

    Dolor Roethke Analysis

    The narrator begins the poem with a look into his time in an office. The stiffness is almost visible to the reader in lines such as "I have known the inexorable sadness of pencils,/ Neat in their boxes" (Roethke lines 1-2). The despair can be felt within the poem. As Cynthia Kotana describes, "The persona is buried under the detritus of office life: pencils, pads, folders, paper clips. The sheer weight of inanimate objects is felt as unbearable" (Kotana). Roethke places a heaviness in the poem on each individual object through personification. By giving the inanimate objects these human characteristics, one can imagine them in a deeper sense thus causing the emotion of the poem to stand out. The simplicity of an office is now filled with depth, "sadness of pencils," "misery of manilla folders," and the "Lonely reception room" (Roethke lines 1,3,5).…

    The Organization

    The diction in this poem prepares the reader for the speaker's concluding response because it shows that the speaker remembers the event very vividly; therefore it must be a very significant event in his life. An example of this is when he describes a cloud as "paled, pulsed, compressed, distended"� (line 20). Another example is when he describes the flocks of flying geese as "great straggling V's"� (line 9). Also, when the speaker says "as if out of the Bible or science fiction"� it lets the reader know that the event is…

    ¡§When I Heard The Learn¡¦d Astronomer¡¨Walt Whitman

    The speaker generates different moods in the course of the poem by a shift of tone of voice. Although the poem is written in one single stanza, we can clearly see that there is a division between the first half compared to the second half of the poem. There are specific word choice sequences that support the voice shift. The ：proofs；, ：figures；, ：columns；, ：charts；, ：diagrams； are all words that imply the dry, stale connotation of the lecturer. The lecturer, by ：[dividing], and [measuring]； things, turns the speaker ：tired and sick；. After this, word choice sequence changes to make the rest of the poem into a dreamier tone. Whitman describes how the speaker ：[glides] out； and ：[wanders]； off by himself in the ：mystical； night to silently gaze up at the stars. With words that offer different connotations, Whitman achieves the immediate effect of how scientific deciphering of nature cannot compare to self- experience and observation.…

    Analysis of Themes & the Tenets of Romanticism Within Poetry

    One of the major themes of both these poems is the poets’ expression of a common message of how we rely on our imagination over and over again. Longfellow, the poet of The Ropewalk, demonstrates this common theme by scripting, “While within this brain of mine,/ cobwebs brighter and more fine.” (Longfellow 15-16) One of the poetic devices in this quote is rhyme scheme. The poet uses rhyme scheme to get the readers mind working- it causes the audience to use their imagination. This flow and rhyme helps exemplify the common theme of imagination. It does this by prying open the reader’s tightly enclosed mind, making him or her think, and use their imagination to predict what is coming next. By having a consistent rhyme scheme the reader will have a consistent surge of imagination. Emily Dickson then writes in the poem Because I could not stop for Death, “Because I could not stop for Death-/ He kindly stopped for me-” (Dickenson 1-2) This quote has many different rhetorical devices which, like The Ropewalk, also creates the theme of inspiring imagination. One very powerful device Emily Dickenson has used throughout her poem is the use of hyphens at the end of lines. This way of finishing each line is significant, because it tells the reader, unconsciously, to drift…

    In first stanza the poem is compared to a color slide. It shows that readers have to have to squint really hard to not miss any figurative language and to look at the poem clearly. In the second stanza its being compared to a hive which shows that its difficult to understand a poem but you can still do it despite the difficulties. In the fourth stanza the poem is being compared to a maze. Which gives the imagery of it being confusing and a feeling of being lost. In the fifth stanza Billy Collins explains how he wants his student to understand and have fun with the poem. He says “I want them to waterski across the surface of the poem.”…

    Analysis of The Bells

    Edgar Allan Poe’s poem is structured into four stanzas, each one longer than the one before. There are a lot of change in the meter, although the dominant one is the trochaic meter, as seen in line 15: [Hear the] [mel- -low] [wed- ding] [bells], where Poe creates a catalectic line. The poem has a turbulent and irregular rhyme scheme throughout the poem. Without even going into the content of the poem, it is obvious that Poe is creating an unstable environment for the reader. This is clear due to the rhyme scheme and the inconsistent lengths and the out-spacing of the lines.…

    In the same way, Heaney’s repetition further alludes to the speaker’s need and desire to write. In the first and last stanzas of the poem, the speaker repeats the same sentence: “Between my finger and my thumb / The squat pen rests.” As a starting point in the poem, the speaker directly jumps to his comfort zone—describing his love for putting pen to paper, yet as an ending note, the narrator reemphasizes his possession of not only the pen, but of his life choices. Also, Heaney often uses the word “digging” as a separate…

    Real meaning of Poetry

    ‘The real meaning of a poem cannot be summed up by the dictionary definitions of its words.’ This is simply because, words and phrases are written very carefully to its best level. Poems like ‘Ode to the West Wind’ and ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’ are great examples, whose real meaning cannot be defined by the dictionary definitions. Utilizing effective and innovative techniques such as rhetorical figures, tropes, rhymes and rhyme scheme, alliteration, assonance, and other key concepts such as form, context and genre, makes these poems stand out. As a result, poem cannot be defined by the dictionary definitions of its words.…

    Continuum: Poetry

    In this poem, Curnow explains the hardness of poem. He is waiting for inspiration for his poem and he is bored about thid and wants to sleep. He explains that writing a poem is an endless cycle. He personifies moon as a symbol for himself which creates a restless mood. The poet can not rest until he finished his poem. “I am talking about myself” this sentence suggests the reader that the poet is lonely and isolated. His source for inspiration is nature in this poem and he sais “Better bare-foot it out the front” because he wants to connect directly with the nature. He can not concentrate anything because of his restless mood. “washed-out creation” and “dark-place” imageries suggest that he wants to find sth unique. “A long moment stretches, the next one is not on time.” this sentence means that the poet doesn’t notice the time had gone. Curnow used “(query)” because he want to explain his sense of questioning. The “cringing demiurge” is the…

    An Analysis of Karen Press's The Words That Rise to the Surface

    In the first instance, one can clearly notice that Karen Press is breaking convention predominantly with the lack of casing and minimal punctuation. We as the reader are taken out of our comfort zone by being stripped of the norms or guardrails (grammar/pause-punctuation) that make verse easily accessible, with the poems intention being to reflect the social, political and economic climate of South Africa sliding and gliding into anarchy. Press uses enjambment (where one line is carried on to the next without pause) throughout the poem to increase the speed, excitement and suspense for the following line; at the same time one should use each line break as a natural pause regardless of the lack of punctuation. The title and opening line of the poem illustrates the effect that alliteration has on the poem; it is in the t sound that the author establishes a rhyme. The alliteration and the stressed consonants become replacements for punctuation; this is carried throughout the poem and is deliberate in its attempt to distance itself from colonial influences anger blood grief vengeance . The words placed in each line are done so…

Curnow used “(query)” because he want to explain his sense of questioning. The “cringing demiurge” is the creative side of the persona and he is in an inner-conflict because one side of him wants to sleep the other one wants to write a poem. At last stanza, we are not sure but we understand that he found sth like inspiration and he turns to his bed, stealthily in step.…
