    Poetry is feeling put into words, expressed rhythmically passionately and creatively, but even then poets still make some errors. Poems have a great deal of imagination, feeling and especially strong emotions. Poets may try to explain what they are feeling or writing about, but the reader may not quite understand. This is what causes confusion and problems to the readers when they are reading certain poems. Poets often make mistakes in their poems without even noticing it. A good poet describes their emotions or feelings the best they possibly can and remains with the same tone throughout the poem. They do not assume that the reader knows what they are feeling or understands it. Ken U Deviner's poems are an example of bad poetry and how he often makes mistakes or glitches in his poems. There are numerous ways to make mistakes without even noticing it. Bad poetry includes unnecessary repetition, change in the word…

    Poetry is a precise art. The challenge for poets is to choose the one specific, high quality word that not only conveys the most meaning, but also flows with the poems rhythm and form. One word chosen with too many or too few syllables, or with the wrong connotation, has the potential to reduce the entire poem to rubble.…

    My journey through English Literature comes many thoughts and questions on the knowledge behind the writing. What is English Literature? English Literature was first produced in England from the introduction of Old English by the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century to present day (angelfire.com). Literature goes back to 450 to 1066 much of which is oral form, and of poetry. Reading literature will take you back to the time it was written and give you satisfaction reading it, giving the reader feelings towards what is being expressed.…

    “Then we noticed that in the second pillow was the indentation of a head. One of us lifted something from it, and leaning forward, that faint and invisible dust dry and acrid in the nostrils, we saw a long strand of iron-gray hair” read the last lines of “A Rose for Emily”, a short story written by the American author and Nobel Prize laureate William Faulkner, published in 1931. These last words put a shocking and rather disturbing end to this piece depicting the strange life of Emily Grierson, and her obdurate refusal to adapt to changes in her life, living in her own non-transforming world. Various symbols are used throughout the text although Faulkner did not use any kind of conscious symbolism. The validity of this claim lies in his Nobel Prize in Literature acceptance speech, his biography and his interview on the meaning of “A rose for Emily”.…
