FICTION POEM ESSAY

This poem deals with a man, who believes he has no real self-identification. However, in the midst of his affliction, and the pain of being loss he finds his purpose and most of all his self worth. When reading The Lamb poem, it reminds me of how I felt when I first met the Lord. I felt so alone, as if I had no one to call my own. Then his love was so powerful an amazing that I finaly connected with that inward grace that dwells with in. Then I begin to feel his innocence as of a lamb, just like this poems theme. It is truly something when you first connect with the almighty father, you begin to ask questions just like with in the poem. “Do you know who made you?” That’s when God calls you friend, and then you begin to rejoice for the fact that he meaning the almighty father loved you even when you didn’t know him, he still loved you first. …show more content…
It reminds me of how when God cleanses your heart, and it becomes so transparent. It reminds me of Psalms 51:17 “ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.“4 The poet gives a great presentation of the innocence of the lamb, and the Christ that is represented within the lamb. Then the communication is expressed through the joy that is released through the identity of the lamb, when he stated in the poem “Making all the vales rejoice!” When we come to know who God is that is great joy, and praise is released from the depths of our hearts as a child. It reminds me of that scripture that states in Matthew 19:14, “But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of

    Innocence To Evil: Analysis Of William Blake's The Tyger

    “The Lamb” comes from William Blake’s Songs of Innocence, so readers are aware that the poem will be symbolic of an innocent time. This innocence is seen throughout the poem; the speaker seems to be a child as he continually asks, “Little Lamb, who made thee?” (1). The lamb is a symbol of the innocence of childhood; the speaker wants it to know how precious it is, so words such as delight, wooly bright, and rejoice are used. Blake also makes the poem more childlike by making its form similar to that of a nursery rhyme. “The Lamb” becomes even more simple and innocent with this…

    Finding The Heart's True Home Analysis

    Foster begins the chapter by explaining an important Greek word, Penthos. This word means tears or a broken heart. The Prayer of Tears is the emotional side of prayer. People realize that they and the world have sinned, and they repent their sins to God. This prayer is where people are heartbroken after realizing the amount of sin in their lives and in the world. Many times, tears are viewed as a sign of sadness, but Foster takes the opposite approach. He says that tears are a present people should search for, because those tears are their way of giving God permission to show them the sin in their lives. The climax of the Prayer of Tears is the realization that all people are sinners. All have fallen short of the glory of God. Foster says it magnificently, “We are not sinners because we commit sinful acts; rather, we commit sinful acts because we are sinners.” After the realization that all people are sinners, then comes the repentance. People must ask God for forgiveness; they must confess their sins; they receive God’s forgiveness, and they are to obey His…

    The Death Spread Poem Analysis

    While reading this poem I had to reread several lines over and over again simply because I liked them so much. A few lines that stood out to me were, “The skeleton of a calf's been wrapped around a pipe”, “A yolk slides down the drain”, and “You drive into the Wyoming part of you where it's obvious there have been some sacrifices” – all of these lines throughout this poem are vivid and give off a sense of loss. A dead baby animal represents something nipped in the bud, a yolk sliding down a drain is a fast and hopeless loss that can’t be recovered (without being messy anyway), and seeing sacrifices on a drive represents the loss of something important during the course of life. All of the images throughout this poem pulled on my heartstrings and were pieced together into a relatable format with pictures of food, animals, and rustic imagery, i.e. a plastic jug of milk, an egg yolk, flamingos, white dogs, horses, Wyoming, missile silos, tornados, bottoms of lakes, etc. And my favorite part of this poem that really caught me off guard, sealed the deal, and made me want to write this response, was the way the poem ended. The lines, “Everyone who ever knew you gently roams the town at the bottom of a lake - They flash to the surface,…

    Close Reading: Walt Whitman's Song Of Myself

    In Walt Whitman’s poem, Song of Myself, I found different key pieces of Whitman’s diction and language to be more in depth and not so cut, black and white. This poem really makes you think by giving you different perspectives of life to wonder about through the use of his words. I have gotten the impression that Whitman really values himself and his beliefs of a good world and being alive in the present is worthwhile to him. His words are very powerful, thoughtful and even strong enough to change somebodies view of how they see the world. Whitman includes inspirational, yet erotic views of how he feels for his soul and the life around him.…

    When she first introduces him, it is unclear of why she is calling him God. However, out of all the people in the club, he chooses her to dance. Not used to this kind of attention, she is shocked. As the poem progresses it becomes apparent that the speaker calls this man God because he essentially performed a miracle. In her eyes, he is her savior, making her aware of how unfilled her current life is. Although her interpretation of this man is substantial, the feeling he gives her is imperative.…

    The Lamb

    The Lamb

    William Blake is inspired to write this poem in which the central purpose or theme is to identify who the Lamb is and its origins, by formulating a series of questions, and to describe its characteristics and personality by portraying its awesome attributes. The World English Dictionary defines Lamb as: “1. A young, immature sheep, especially under a year old and without permanent teeth; 2. Somebody who is meek, gentle, and mild, especially a baby or a small child; 3. Someone who is easily deceived or cheated; 4. Like a Lamb to the slaughter calmly and without resistance going to face something unpleasant or dangerous.” It is clearly noted by the author’s figurative language that the poem is symbolic and allegoric—having the Lamb’s description a second meaning beneath the surface one, conveying connotations beyond what is expressed, and an ulterior meaning as major interest. “Little Lamb who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?” The poem appears to be written in a form of Sonnet in a Petrarchan style with two stanzas. The first of eight lines…

    The Lamb

    In Blake’s poem “The Lamb” it has two main themes childhood and spiritual development. Throughout the poem Blake writes about a creator and innocence. The poem begins with a child asking a simple question of “Little Lamb who made thee”? (pg.134) As children we have all asked this question wanting to know where did we come from or how did we get here? Even after many years scientist and bible scholars still argue over this issue. The child in the poem wonders how the lamb got its wool coat and how it survives outdoors in the elements. He knows it is not by chance or luck. The child thinks that it must be someone greater who created him and the lamb.…

    Human condition- "An Absolutely Ordinary Rainbow" - analysis of poem by Les Murray

    People are shown as being so obsessed with fitting in the unfeeling social mainstream that they have become afraid of change. The poem points out that people have become less dignified because they no longer openly express their feelings and attitudes, but the man appears as a savior, having the courage to openly weep at all the ills and worries of modern day life. Les Murray has used him to symbolize redemption, and the man is portrayed as a messiah through the description- "Only the smallest children and such as look out of Paradise come near him and sit at his feet, with dogs and dusty pigeons", presenting him as being innocent, pure and genuine. The…

    The Lamb

    The Lamb

    A lamb is a gentle and meek creature that is both daring and submissive. A lamb is very much like a child. In “The Lamb,” William Blake creates a childlike tone through a very songlike form and structure. What this does is give the poem an innocent view, more in the first stanza than in the second. Through the use of apostrophe, the entire poem being an apostrophe, William Blake attributes human qualities to a lamb, the lamb being the listener, the child being the speaker. Throughout the entire poem the lamb and the child are interchangeable, the child is a lamb, the lamb is a child, it’s a metaphor that extends throughout the poem. William Blake uses symbolic language to create extended metaphors about the lamb. He talks about the creator of the lamb giving it “clothing of delight.”…
