    To Celia is a love poem with a simple four line rhyme scheme (abcbabcb)‚ written in first person. The over all tone of the poem is dreamy‚ optimistic‚ persistent‚ and gullibly innocent. The rhythm is smooth‚ and pensive‚ and seems to fall into an iambic pentameter. The poem gives the reader an intimate sense of this man’s love‚ and obsession for the woman of his desire‚ Celia. I interpreted this poem as having a theme of lost love. I imagined that Celia is his ex-lover‚ he still is in love with her

    Some people believe that the Iliad is a poem about death. However‚ some argue that the most important theme is war. Other themes of human experience such as jealousy‚ honor‚ or pride are seen in the poem‚ but I think the main idea of the poem is anger or rage and the results that occur from it. Death is a recurring subject in the Iliad along with graphic descriptions. Every man knows he will die at some point especially when going into battle. For example‚ Sarpedon says to Glaucus‚ “Ah cousin

    poem entitled “Curiosity” written by Alastair Reid is a symbolic poem that uses cats as a metaphor for humans. It relates felines to people in the sense of curiosity‚ and what could be considered actually living life to the fullest. Essentially‚ this work contradicts the popular phrase‚ “curiosity killed the cat” by placing it within a broader context. Instead of discouraging curiosity‚ Reid explains why people should embrace it. In the first stanza‚ the author argues that the cat may have died

    never thought that the story would be what it turned out to be. I would think at first it would involve some sort of worker or child in South America that works by handling Oranges in some sort of way.

The boy is very poor so he knows that the nickel may not be enough. So when she took a piece of chocolate that was more

    picked to represent my emotions during this unit is a poem that talks about hate. To start‚ the unit itself is boring to me.

    Most of the time‚ I feel like the weight of the world can get to me. That happens to a lot of people. They think that this excess baggage can get overwhelming‚ well it can. For most they deal with it in a positive‚ natural perspective‚ other times‚ they deal with it by self-harm. I‚ on the other hand‚ deal with it with poetry. It was a normal ordeal at school. Everyone laughing‚ smiling‚ just being happy. They don’t see how well they have it while the outsiders are sitting around‚ waiting
