    The two poems I chose to write about are Elizabeth Bishops “One Art” and “What my lips have kissed” by Edna St. Vincent Millay’s. I chose both of these because they both in a way are describing love, and loss for something or someone. Even though they do not come right out and say it, both poems deal with love and the loss they have experienced. In Bishops poem she talks about how losing comes at ease and how nothing that has been lost has been disastrous. However, in the last stanza of her poem I believe she is talking about the loss of her lover and her talking about it in her poem is how she is coping. She says “may look like (Write it!) like disaster” in the last stanza of her poem is how I believe she is coping with the loss of her lover.…

    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.…

    The poet also uses imagery such as ‘lakes and ‘swans’, to symbolise the peacefulness, and also to symbolise love. You notice words that show the subject is not alone, with ‘we’ and ‘our’. These words and also the motion of the swans, the lake, and the peacefulness are foreshadowing that the poem will take a turning onto love that is more literate. However I don’t think that the poems theme is so much about love in particular, but about a natural love, a natural pull that brings two people together even after hard times.…

    Two specific techniques are used to convey the idea of how the woman in the poem feels about her husband and how she expresses her feelings. These two techniques are rhyming and repetition. The use of rhyming gives the poem a flow to go by. Every last word of a line rhymes with the following last word to create a greater effect of what is being tried to say. The rhymed words give the poem an accent helping to capture the romanticism of the poem. Repetition is seen in the first three lines of the poem when the speaker says, "If ever." The use of these words over and over again show how the speaker feels that it is near impossible to find another love such as the one she has at the moment. These two techniques give the poem an atmosphere of true love and compassion.…

    Poetry is very strange you can read it and think you know what it means and when person next to you thinks it something completely opposite so you talk about it and realize nobody is wrong it just how we interpreted it.

    In her poem “Unfinished Love Theorem” published in 2001, author Kate Camp writes about the concept of love by comparing it first to ocean waves and then lines, to help describe the speaker’s feelings and understanding towards it. On the surface, the poem seems very simple- it is just describing a single idea, but when analysing it we can see that Camp is trying to emphasize that love changes and is never simple; it is full of turbulences and instability. There is a lot more to love than meets the eye, so it cannot be described in just one way. Some specific language features are used to emphasize this.…
