Never Ending Hunger: Poem Analysis
Never ending hunger
All you do is eat,
Have you ever wondered
If you had too much meat,

You should stop
You had too much,
Teeth ruined by soda pop
Cheese finger clutch,

Last week's pay
Didnt even have a good use,
Because your teeth still decay hanging from a twizzler noose,

You have type two and now you diet
You had no clue seeing food but can't buy it

You did this to yourself
After cut off by your mother no consideration of your health saying “it won't hurt to have another”

Eating planned meals and watching the food network trying to make deals with imaginary desert on your fork

You tell yourself just one bite
Indulge yourself just once even when you realise your pants are tight now all you worked for ruined in a couple months

    For centuries, stories have been told amongst people all around the world. As time went on, people have searched for ways to help better memorize these stories. Stories were often written down by those who could write, which at the time was a small percent of people in the world. For those that couldn't write, they had no choice but to pass stories on verbally. These people soon realized that over time, stories are not always told properly, or are purposely changed. Stories told by song are not only kept the same, but they are also easier to remember. For example, during slavery, slaves depended on songs to lead them to freedom. One song was "Follow the Drinkin' Gourd." This song gave specific instructions on how to follow the stars, evade…

    The wounded heart now enormous tune of sorrow, Skunk breath a force to linger tomorrow. Saint unreal a body-less per poster, Bound by force that will never divide as greater. Benevolent a flaunt of no remorse, Unmistakable tone unruly of course. Patch up the hole in your britches; water new soil, Be thankful thieves ravishes in turmoil.…

    In the essay, “From the Poets in the Kitchen,” Paule Marshall talks about a time when she listened to a novelist who said that women possess the ability to talk with ordinary and typical words, which some expert writers use. This novelist also said that women, who use everyday words, converse mostly in the kitchen, and this experience plays an enormous role into them becoming a skillful writer. In addition, Marshall goes on to agree with the novelist by saying that “the proper measure of a writer’s talent is his skill in rendering everyday speech” (Marshall 139).…

    Roadblocks: Poem Analysis

    • 500 Words

    Many writers on their venture to becoming great, are faced with roadblocks. I too feel those stresses. When sitting down to begin a story, novel, or poem we all strive to be different. But as Baldwin explains, "there is no original thought, because we all humans think and feel has been thought and felt so many times before, by so many generations." This in itself makes starting writing a very daunting task. Not to mention the sea of fellow authors you are competing with for limited shelf space. A trip to a jam packed bookstore reiterates this feeling instantaneously. Really, what sets the writer apart is the original perspective and finding out what shape to give it to really hold the readers attention. This can all be achieved through the power in…

    Poetry: Poem Analysis

    The works we studied within Creative Writing were all helpful in creating my own works to submit to the class. Throughout all of the reading, many of the works inspired me in different ways, whether it was short story plot ideas or word usage in the poems. While crafting my work for the final portfolio, I reviewed many of the poems from our poetry packet in an effort to find inspiration and to create new interesting images. I took the most inspiration for my formal poem, which I found most difficult to write. One of the poems that was most useful to me was Jilly Dybka’s “Memphis, 1976.” Dybka’s poem follows the sestina form; I also wrote my last poem in this form, so it helped to follow the form by looking at her poem as an example. Dybka’s…

    There is a price of perfection. “When your body is deprived of food, it cannibalizes itself for energy, first burning its fat stores, then turning to muscle, and then it develops its own organs.” (Ulick) The heart can’t pump properly, patients feel weak, and have trouble keeping warm. The digestion slows down, leaving patients constipated and full. Your nails turn brittle. Your hair becomes dry, thin, and brittle because of protein deficiencies. Skin dries out and is easily bruised. Bones don’t have the right nutrients so they are weak, and can lead to risk of fractures later on. Muscles develop atrophy, lowering your strength and mass. Kidneys have a severe lack of fluids, may lead to organ…

    Maggie Helwig’s short essay Hunger explores the idea of negative body imaging and how media within today’s society promotes an unhealthy view of one’s body through the use of models and celebrities. Helwig argues that if the world would learn how to approach women with issues before they have reached the point of potentially harming themselves than eating disorders would not be as common as they are. She has provided the reader with an overall convincing argument involving women and body image through the use of an intelligent voice, first-hand experiences, and information on the focus of industries.…
