Compare and contrast 3 poems of chilhood ("Piano", "Half past two", "My parents kept me from children who were rough")
Anthology of poems

Now I'm going to discuss the three poems that im going to explain afterwards. Now these three poems shows us childhood and its general view from every character as we see the poets describe situation or part of there life that's likely to be a part of there life , every one of them feels and senses and remembers his days when he was a child having a mother and a father but there are differences between the three poets about there sadness and happiness and if they were really happy expressing there feelings in the poem or really sad about what had gone and never come back regretting that they got old and being men and never seeing the past but in these poems they see it when they smell, feel and hear something so as we see the three poems that will make child hood having more appearance is half past two by u.a.fanthorpe and piano by Dh.lawerence and my parents kept me from children who were rough by Stephen spender.

'Half Past Two' is a poem in which Fanthorpe describes how a young child is given a detention for an unspecified misdemeanor and is forgotten by his teacher. Fanthorpe draws on her experience as a teacher to describe the scene as seen through the child's eyes.

The Title of the poem tells me a lot of information even before I read the poem. The information it puts across is that: A boy is told to stay behind until 'Half Past Two' but this has no meaning to him because he has no concept of 'time'. The boy can't tell the time but yet he divides the day up into familiar, recognizable units, as in 'schooltime', 'lunchtime', 'hometime'.

"Half Past Two" uses a lot of different tones, tones such as: Nostalgic Innocent, Dream Like!

In the first stanza Fanthorpe includes the first of his markers of the day which the boy recognizes as a time in the day. This is set out as a 'compound word': 'Schooltime'. Whereas the words "(I forgot what it was)" and the use of parenthesis (brackets) show that it wasn't all that important to the boy. The use

    Gwen Harwood, An Australian poet who, seems to develop an imaginative, rich form of poetry through the use of recurring themes, complex language techniques and even further through the use of sophisticated structures only seen in the most prestigious of poems in the modern era. Gwen Harwood has a tendency to write poetry that is significant in all eras, cultures and/or societies of the world as she captures, and develops them into a strong universal theme that recurs strongly. These themes seem to endure, and portray the human experience by relating these in forms that resonate through a range of various environments; these poems have an immense structural integrity. These themes are depicted powerfully in poems such as; Father and Child, Violets the 2 poems that I have chosen to discuss in this speech. In the Father and child, it has a unique structure of 2 parts; the 1st (Barn Owl) discusses her loss of innocence in the daughter’s perspective in the past, the second part (Nightfall) Being the downfall to her father, how he is put in an degenerative state, slowly falling to his demise. This is to do with Gwen accepting the inevitability of her father’s death. These 2 poems can be read symbiotically in a dual nature to provide further insight into both their poems, or separately as a poem. The language in the first poem is quite unique. It highlights the use of very simple words, with little complexity, this can be interpreted to show the innocence that the child still possesses, as children (better yet an innocent child) are meant to speak with less complexity than a full grown adult. These sentences also tend to be monosyllabic. ‘I knew my prize, who swooped home at this hour’ are all monosyllabic. As the poem continues, especially after the owl is shot, the child’s vocabulary seems to improve in complexity, losing its monosyllabic nature. This can symbolize the loss of innocence that the child had experienced by killing the owl senselessly. Gwen also uses many…

    Harwood’s ‘The Violets’ evokes a strong response in the reader of the persona’s transition from innocence to experience and the transience of time through her use of natural imagery. References to light and dark throughout the poem mirror the persona’s transition from childhood to adulthood, evident in the repetition in “Ambiguous light. Ambiguous sky”. This marks the shift from day to night, but also foreshadows the persona’s progression into adult maturity and acceptance that time is transient. Allison Hoddinott’s idea that time is the persona’s “enemy” enhances my understanding that the persona has had an ongoing conflict with the transience of time. Hoddinott’s idea is displayed through the metaphor, “stolen from me those hours of unreturning light”. The melancholy tone of the passing of time depicts the child as having a sense of ownership of time which has been irrevocably lost, highlighting that time is something which cannot be regained. Therefore, Harwood uses natural imagery in ‘The Violets’ to express an acceptance of the transience of time, and hence the persona shifts from the innocence of childhood to the maturity of adulthood.…

    Upon becoming adults, our perceptions of people and relationships differ and change. As a child, we are impressionable, innocent and under the care of our parents, we see people on a shallow level. The poem shows the reader this with its structure; the focus often jumps from the past to the present. The change in relationship with the poets mother is also apparent, she goes from being a mere observer, drawing in the environment around her and mimicking her mother, to being like her, both physically and mentally.…

    In contrast to ‘At Mornington’, ‘Father and Child’ is used to convey a more vivid and disturbing story of how past experiences can alter a person’s present and future. The child’s sex is left ambiguous, and only through intertextuality with Shakespeare’s ‘King Lear’ can it be said that the ‘child’ is female as to follow the father-daughter storyline of the play. Harwood has stated that this poem is not autobiographical, yet it is rather symbolic of past…

    Stanza One: In this stanza Fanthorpe includes the first of his markers of the day which the boy recognizes as a time in the day. This is set out as a 'compound word': 'Schooltime'. Fanthorpe uses capital letters at the beginning of the words "Something Very Wrong", he does this to show us how significant and important the incident was to the teacher, Whereas the words "(I forgot what it was)" and the use of parenthesis (brackets) show that it wasn't all that important to the boy.…

    Though the poem is set out in even three-lined verses, except for the anomalous last line, it is actually structured around three geographic locales, locales which are also distinguished from each other in temporal terms: the ‘college,’ location of the first verse, in which the narrator remains ‘all morning’ until ‘two o’clock,’ the narrator’s house, mainly the front porch and front room, where the narrator remains until ‘ten o’clock’ at night when the body is brought home and, finally, the upstairs room where the corpse is laid out, which the narrator visits the ‘Next morning.’ The movement is one from the exterior world of school and non-familial acquaintances, to the interior world of the house, friends and family, and finally to the upstairs room where the narrator stands alone with the body of his brother. This movement can reflect the way in…

    As children, some memory of the former purity and glory in which they lived remains but as children grow older, the memory fades and the magic of nature dies. The memory of childhood offers solace which brings an almost re-access to the lost purities of the past. The connection with nature and human beings gets old and that connection can only be preserved in memory. Wordsworth uses this poem to display the suffering that comes with maturity. These new pleasures are the products of what the adult remembers as his early life. The adult intellect is tempered by recollections of early childhood. The Ode illustrates the concerns with childhood and human psychology that were central to English Romanticism.…

    In all three poems the poets present childhood in different and exceptional way. In "Piano", childhood is presented in a very idealistic way. The poet is remembering the good old times when he was sitting under the piano and listening to his mother tenderly singing a powerful song. He remembers his loving mother, and all the factors surrounding her, only having a positive atmosphere. When on the other hand Stephen Spender is describing himself being teased and abused by his own peer mates in his youth. We can sense the fright and dread in the poem. Whereas towards the end, the poet forgives the awful children, and she even tries to make friends. The poem "Half-past two" is about a child, who gets a detention until 2.30pm, but doesn't know time. He fears that it will never end and feels lost. In the end the situation leads him to a shocking and unforgettable experience.…

Such as, in form, as Childhood only has one stanza and My Parents has three, tone, Childhood having a tone of confusion and My Parents with a tone of envy, and also in theme, Childhood portraying the theme of an adult looking back at her ‘helpless’ childhood and My Parents looking at the sheltered life of a child in middle compared to the unsheltered life in working class.…

    Secondly, they also both use alliteration. In “Half-past Two”, the phrase ‘time hides tick-less’ is used to convey the sound of a clock ticking. However, in “Piano”, the repetition of the consonant /s/ is used to convey the calm and quiet singing of the woman.…

    The following is a collection of my poetic pieces in honour of the four poets that I have recently studied: Pablo Neruda, Carol Ann Duffy, e.e cummings and Theodore Roethke. While each of these four poets has influenced me emotionally and intellectually with their poetry, the first three aforementioned poets have left the strongest impression on my outlook of poetry. Therefore, this anthology will be dedicated to these three poets as I attempt to write poems that have been inspired by the unique writing styles of Neruda, Duffy and cummings.…
