    Summary: Written by the wisest man to ever live, Solomon, “Song of Songs” is a composition of lyric poems which portrays the theme of love between a man and a woman and can be seen almost written as a diary of sorts.

    The excerpts from The Bedford Anthology of World Literature entitled The Song of Songs can correlate to the contemporary love song “Our Kind of Love” sang by the notorious, award-winning country music group Lady Antebellum. Besides the fact that these two works were written under antithetical circumstances and during distinctly different time periods, they both share many of the same attributes. Both of these works closely examine the word “love”, a word that is commonly misused in the present day generation. Furthermore, they both portray the profound, romantic feeling that a woman and a man share when they are both mentally and physically attracted to each other.…

    Ghazal, as mentioned before, is written like a love poem. However, one may consider it an example of role reversal- unusually; it is written from the point of view of a woman, not a man. Although it is not a sonnet, the form of poem is a Ghazal- this is a type of song, of mystical love poetry: we can thus compare it to a sonnet in the way that love is explored as a theme. It is structured in rhyming couplets- these can be described like poems themselves, as they capture the speaker’s strong feeling of attachment. These also contain refrain words, which help to drive in the points being made, such as “me”, which forms part of the weak rhyme scheme. The love in the poem can be seen in the first stanza- “If I am the grass and you the breeze, blow through me/ If I am the rose and you the bird, then woo me”. These examples of natural imagery mean we can see how the idea of the speaker and the person they address being together is beneficial- in fact, drawing from the imagery, we could go further and say that the idea is a natural (good) thing. Another emotion present is longing. This is the feeling of desperation to be with the other person talked to. Focusing on the language used, Ghazal makes extensive use of metaphors to explore the relationship between the speaker and the person they feel love for. Many of the metaphors are in the form of pairs of items or objects that complement each other, reflecting the way in which the speaker sees the relationship. For example, “what shape should I take to marry your own, have you- hawk to my shadow, moth to my flame - pursue me?” showcases the idea that…

    Alan Dugan’s poem entitled “Love Song: I and Thou” is not a stereotypical love poem. On the surface, this appears to be a poem about a man building a house and all the trials that accompany such an undertaking. In actuality, the author is using the building of a home as a metaphor for building a marriage and making a marriage strong.…

    There are many literary terms that constitute a poem, such as symbolism, rhyme, rhythm, tone and so on. The most important literary term that makes up a poem is the speaker. The speaker sets the tone of the poem and has the ability to maintain the attention of readers. The most important role of the speaker is to be “real”, in the sense that the reader feels that they are listening to someone say something as opposed to reading words off of a paper. The speaker also allows the poet to make his or her point in a clearer manner. “Suicide Note” by Janice Mirikitani is an example of the importance of a speaker in poetry. The speaker of this poem is an Asian student that has reached her breaking point because of the pressure that she has felt from her parents and she has committed suicide. The speaker of this poem is especially important and a great example of the importance of the speaker in poetry.…
