Dance Of The Women In Scarlet
Masked maiden fair and slender walked among the hall of Lear, dressed in scarlet with skin of ivory splendor, paused beneath the light of bright chandelier.

A man of aristocracy, plump and draped with gold wore a mask of a swinish sort, suddenly caught a glimpse of beauty untold.
A women in scarlet among the court.

He embraced her and all her charms of death, he could not resist the final dance.
With each twirl she laughed at his fading breath, while the music changed with a sullen nuance.

Her bony fingers clapped, rattling, filling him with dread, while her voice filled the hall with the tone of the dead:
"Danse macabre!"
"Danse macabre!"

Whimpering fool, whose last cry of dismay will go unheard. The court of worms call for all.
Lovely skeleton still graceful with each sway, on the morrow will find another to call.

Whose To Blame
The innocence of a child's questions, always remain true.
Children with their sweet and pure hearts a soft hue.
Listen to this story told and watch the truth unfold.

A frightened child, runs to daddy's side screaming wild, and all to hide.
A face full of questions, with no exceptions.

Daddy, daddy, why is the world cold, whose to blame? My child the world, the people, it is a hideous game.

Daddy,daddy, why is the world cruel, whose to blame? My child the world, the people, all to whom love is tame.

Daddy,daddy, why doesn't the world change its way , whose to blame? My child the world, the people, those that will always say the same.

My child the world, the people always seeking reasons and others to blame.
Those that hide.
Those that stay quiet.
Those that choose to be the problem rather than the solution.

Just remember my child, the smallest of droplets, can make the biggest of waves.

Dark Angel
So beautiful
So bright
Singing songs of praise
All through the night
So wonderful
So holy
Everything done
Was

    Tattoos are permanent symbols that last forever, while relationships can’t be guaranteed permanent now a days. Kim Addonizio chooses tattoos as a symbol in this poem “First poem for you.” Water and lightning is what makes the poem most symbolistic. “Lines of lightning pulsing just above your nipple can find as if by instinct the blue swirls of water on your shoulder where a serpent twists facing a dragon.” Though symbols can have more than one meaning to them the poem helps to point of the specific meaning of these symbols.…

    In this essay, I will be comparing four poems: Checking out me history; Singh Song; The Ruined Maid and Give. ‘Checking out me history’ By John Agard is a strong piece which shows a hint of anger and almost betrayal as he enlightens us on his knowledge of unknown history. The second poem, ‘Singh Song’ by Daljit Nagra has a stereotypical Indian man who runs one “ov his daddy’s shop” bit it has the theme of romance added. Thirdly, The Ruined Maid by Thomas Hardy, the poem is a conversation between two female friends, the poem depicts a young country girl who has become a rich man’s mistress or a prostitute to escape her own poverty and the friend seems to envy her. Lastly, ‘Give’ by Simon Armitage, the poem is about homelessness and the way society reacts to beggars, the poem is in the eyes and voice of a beggar. I will be exploring the ways these emotional voices are presented and used to challenge the stereotypes.…

    My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: ' Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, But being too happy in thy happiness,—- That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees, In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated ease. O for a draught of vintage, that hath been Cooled a long age in the deep-delved earth, Tasting of Flora and the country green, Dance, and Provencal song, and sun-burnt mirth!…

    Poetry and Universal Poem

    • 730 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The two poems I am going to compare and contrast are ‘First Ice’ by Andrei Vosnesky and ‘Manwatching’ by Georgia Garrett. The first obvious difference between the poems is that ‘First Ice’ is written by a man and ‘Manwatching’ is written by a woman. However, both poets seem to adopt a female persona. ‘First Ice’ is about “a girl” who has broken up with someone for the “first time” by phone call. The girl was planning to go out to a party with her boyfriend and phoned him to ask him where he was. That’s when he broke up with her. It is a universal poem so it could happen to anyone. The poem was originally written in Russian but translated into English. We know the girl is going out somewhere nice because “she hides a face…..tears and lipstick” and she “wears earrings”. She is dressed up which suggests she cares enough to make a good impression.…
